You made a decision based on assuming he's lying and by ignoring the rest of his positions on the issues. You took a few carefully selected statements out of a 30-year military career and used that to convince Clark supporters you're right.

That's my whole point. I think you have to look at everything, not just a couple of statements taken out of context. Frankly, you could most certainly be correct in your examination of those statements, but ANY candidate could be broken down in the exact same manner.

For example, Dennis Kucinich was pro-life two years ago. I guess that means that people could, and perhaps should, assume he's lying about the switch to pander to the liberal left. No one who is pro-choice should vote for him.

That's silly, of course, but I think it illustrates my point. Either you take Clark at face value or you don't. Nothing anyone says is going to change your mind. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, but you certainly have the right to do the opposite and assume he's a pathological liar.
