Dems Take Aim at Clark And Bush
Democratic presidential hopefuls turned up the heat on Wesley Clark in a campaign debate Thursday, calling the retired general and NATO commander -- who currently leads in some national polls -- a belated convert to their party and indecisive to boot.
Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean and Sens. John Kerry, Joe Lieberman and John Edwards took turns criticizing Clark, saying he was speaking warmly of Mr. Bush as recently as 2001, and more recently switched positions to oppose the war with Iraq.

At last, we are finally seeing these guys snipe each other some. I was beginning to wonder if these folks forgot that only one of them can get the nomination. I do have a few specific items from this article that I want to address.Former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley Braun agreed that help from the United Nations as well as NATO is necessary, but said the United States has an obligation to rebuild Iraq since it waged war there. Senator, while assistance from either of these organizations would be more than welcome, it most definately is NOT neccessary or required.
Rev. Al Sharpton said Mr. Bush needs to admit he made a mistake in attacking Iraq without U.N. support. "The president went to the U.N. and said, "Help us on my terms.' If I were president, I would go in and say, 'We were wrong,'" he said. Reverand, the UN won't help us if we claim responsibility for all the evil in the world. It doesn't have anything to do with President Bush, it has to do with our way of life. By the way, how do you expect to be president with that whole seperation of church and state thing that the Democrats and the ACLU seem to throw at us all the time?
I could keep going, by why bother...
