I like Hilary Clinton. I think she's - she's a fantastic leader.
Wesley Clark
Image
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'.

It's important. One of the principles in the United States is civilian control of the military.

It doesn't take any more energy to create a big dream than it does to create a little one.

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.

Nothing is going to hurt this country - not bioweapons, not a nuclear weapon, not a terrorist strike - there is nothing that can hurt us if we stay united and move together and have a vision for moving to the future the right way.

We've never finished the investigation of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intel information it had. The evidence seems pretty clear to me. I've seen that for a long time.

Nothing could be a more serious violation of public trust than to consciously make a war based on false claims.
Wesley Clark

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.

War creates its own intensity of hatred... You don't want to use force except as an absolute last resort.
Wesley Clark
Image
One of the principles that we operate on in this country is that leaders are held accountable. The simple truth is that we went into Iraq on the basis of some intuition, some fear, and some exaggerated rhetoric and some very, very scanty evidence.
Wesley Clark

Already the scent of victory is in the air.
Wesley Clark
Image
Well, it came from the White House, it came from people around the White House. It came from all over. I got a call on 9/11. I was on CNN, and I got a call at my home saying, 'You got to say this is connected. This is state-sponsored terrorism. This has to be connected to Saddam Hussein.

It 's really hard to impose democracy. It has to emerge naturally. You have to get out of the way and let it happen.
Wesley Clark

What I learned in the military is that gossip starts early and it stays forever.

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.

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

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

Europe and America must act together in the face of evil. It's high time for Americans and Europeans to restore that unity and be able to take actions collectively together.
Wesley Clark

As president of the United States, my top priority will be to keep America safe. We're going to go after the terrorist networks. We're going to go after Osama bin Laden. We are not going to live in fear in this country.
