More quotes by Wesley Clark
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.
Wesley Clark
Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.
Wesley Clark
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.
Wesley Clark
Maybe it's because I've never been in politics, but I don't believe that America is run by politicians in Washington. I believe it's run by people like us, in places like this.
Wesley Clark
You have to be true to what you believe in and do your duty.
Wesley Clark
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.
Wesley Clark
It's important. One of the principles in the United States is civilian control of the military.
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.
Wesley Clark
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.
Wesley Clark
What I learned in the military is that gossip starts early and it stays forever.
Wesley Clark
I like Hilary Clinton. I think she's - she's a fantastic leader.
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.
Wesley Clark
Nothing could be a more serious violation of public trust than to consciously make a war based on false claims.
Wesley Clark
I like Hemingway and I like a lot Jewish writers (such as) Saul Bellow.
Wesley Clark
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.
Wesley Clark
Serious research and development efforts are required to produce technologies, strategies, organizations, and trained personnel who can go into failed states, work with our allies and friends, and promote the political and economic reforms that will meet popular needs and reduce the sources of terrorism and conflict.
Wesley Clark
Global warming is a matter of national security. Will we live in a world where we must fight our neighbors for fresh water and food? Or will we take the lead now and leave to our children and grandchildren a world better off than the one we inherited from our parents?
Wesley Clark
You need people with the courage to stand up and voice their opposition without being labeled unpatriotic.
Wesley Clark
Let's not forget what the origin of the problem is. There is no place in modern Europe for ethnically pure states. That's a 19th century idea and we are trying to transition into the 21st century, and we are going to do it with multi-ethnic states.
Wesley Clark
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.
