The time has passed in America when this party can be the party of compassion and let the executive branch run foreign policy. It won't work. We have to be the party that can stand toe to toe with George W. Bush on national security, as well as the party of compassion.

There are only two kinds of plans. Plans that might work and plans that won't work... you have to take a plan that might work and make it work.

I tremendously admire, and I think we all should, the great work done by our commander in chief, our president George Bush...
Wesley Clark

When you use force, people get hurt, and when you kill people, their relatives don't like it. And usually war has some unanticipated consequences so it's something you shouldn't launch into, on the expectation that this is going to rally the nation. This is not like 'Friday Night Lights'.

Already the scent of victory is in the air.

Working together, we can build a world in which the rule of law - not the rule of force - governs relations between states. A world in which leaders respect the rights of their people, and nations seek peace, not destruction or domination. And neither we nor anyone else should live in fear ever again.

I don't think it's patriotic to put on a flight suit and prance around on the deck of an aircraft carrier looking for a photo op. We have a president of the United States who did not do his duty to take care of America. If you're patriotic, you do your duty.

George W. Bush has helped those who have most, hurt those who have least and ignored everyone in between.
Wesley Clark

The truth is, about the Middle East is, had there been no oil there, it would be like Africa. Nobody is threatening to intervene in Africa.

Everybody in the military has a reputation, and usually it doesn't come out to the public.

I like Hemingway and I like a lot Jewish writers (such as) Saul Bellow.
Wesley Clark

You need people with the courage to stand up and voice their opposition without being labeled unpatriotic.

I have grown up with guns all my life, but people who like assault weapons they should join the United States Army, we have them.
Wesley Clark
Image
We've proven to be quite flexible and adept in the way that we've changed what was the original pattern of air activities into something that's now very focused on the battlefield.
Wesley Clark
Image
I'm pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, pro-environment and pro-labor. I was either going to be the loneliest Republican in America or I was going to be a happy Democrat.
Wesley Clark
Image
War creates its own intensity of hatred... You don't want to use force except as an absolute last resort.
Wesley Clark
Image
Well we always need brave, capable young men and women who can run a tactical operation and take risks on the battlefield but you should know when we need you to go in there, that if there's any other way to do it, that we could do this without risking your life, we wouldn't ask you to risk your life.

Anyone who tells you that one political party has a monopoly on the best defense of our nation is committing a fraud on the American people.
