Reply #24: But That's Not True [View All]

[DoveTurnedHawk]

Clark's biggest supporter, both in the military and recently, has been Bill Clinton, not Republicans.

I agree with you that it will be easy for us to slam the Thugs on foreign policy, but the problem is that they will slam us right back, using Shrub's ungodly blood money warchest. And their slams will resonate because of the Thugs and the whore media telling everyone for years that the Democrats are weak on defense.

Clark will make it much, much harder for those charges to resonate.

As for militarism, Clark supports humanitarian interventions such as Rwanda and Kosovo, and he opposed the rush to war in Iraq. He supports internationalism and cooperation much more so than just about any other candidate in the field.

I would also point out: "The highest calling of the armed forces is not to wage war, but to prevent war." -- General Wesley K. Clark

That does not sound like a militarist to me. YMMV, of course.
