President Wesley Clark? I don't think so...

Of course, it would be a big improvement on the current chimp and his entourage. But Democratic contender Wesley Clark is NOT looking like the best man to lead the Democrats in '04, for a number of reasons:

1. Clark the Opportunist.

In 2001, Clark declared: "I'm very glad we've got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice... people I know very well - our president George W. Bush. We need them there."

2. Clark the Ignorant.

Clark said: "Do you ever ask why it is that these people in these other countries can't solve their own problems without the United States sending its troops over there? And do you ever ask why it is the Europeans, the people that make the Mercedes and the BMW's that got so much money can't put some of that money in their own defense programs and they need us to do their defense for them?"

"And I'll tell you what I've learned from Europe is that are a lot of people out in the world who really, really love and admire the United States. Don't you ever believe it when you hear foreign leaders making nasty comments about us. That's them playing to their domestic politics as they misread it. Because when you talk to the people out there, they love us."

3. Clark the instigator of WWIII?

In Yugoslavia, when Clark was the SUPREME COMMANDER of NATO, the "accidental" bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade was followed by a moment of heightened tension as Russian troops arrived en masse to secure Pristina airport. Although the Russians were supposed to be allies, Clark wanted to rush in a team of Apache helicopters to keep the airport out of Russian hands. The move would have created a very volatile armed stand-off between Russian and US troops. Clark's plans were only stopped by British commander Peter Jackson, who shouted "I am not going to start World War Three for you!"

What's the worst nightmare for Bush haters? Not that the idiot is re-elected. There's worse. Imagine the Democrats win but their nominee turns out to be JUST AS BAD!?!
