Want to Know What Wesley Clark Stand For?

Well here you go!

Some samples:

A Man of Peace: Let's make one thing real clear, I would never have voted for this war. I've gotten a very consistent record on this.

A Man of War: At the time, I probably would have voted for [war in Iraq], but I think that's too simple a question.

A Man of Peace and War, but probably War: I've said it both ways because when you get into this, what happens is you have to put yourself in a position -- on balance, I probably would have voted for it.

A Man of Peace now, and War later: That having been said, I was against the war as it emerged because there was no reason to start it when we did.

A Man of Peace after all: I never would have voted for war. What I would have voted for is leverage. Leverage for the United States to avoid a war. That's what we needed to avoid a war.

Ronald Bailey says that Clark,

...is an empty vessel and as such Democrats can project any of their fantasies and hopes onto him.

And one last one from that wonderful list,

An American Patriot, sort of: Patriotism doesn't consist of following the orders, not, not not when you're not in the chain of command.

Somehow I don't get the impression Slate is going to be doing a "Clarkism of the Day".

The Chauncy Gardiner reference is classic. I'm gonna steal it and call him "General Chauncey" from now on.
