Clark Lied About Objecting to the War

Anyone who thinks Clark won’t be easier to take out of the running in the general election than Howard the Duck is, had better consider the following.

DRUDGE reports [1] Weasely Clark saying:

“‘I’ve been very consistent… I’ve been against this war from the beginning,’ the former general said in Detroit on October 26.

‘I was against it last summer, I was against it in the fall, I was against it in the winter, I was against it in the spring. And I’m against it now.’

But just six month prior in an op-ed in the LONDON TIMES Clark offered praise for the courage of President Bush’s action.

‘President Bush and Tony Blair should be proud of their resolve in the face of so much doubt,’ Clark wrote on April 10, 2003. ‘Can anything be more moving than the joyous throngs swarming the streets of Baghdad? Memories of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the defeat of Milosevic in Belgrade flood back. Statues and images of Saddam are smashed and defiled.'”
