I think we're at risk with our democracy. I think we're dealing with the most closed, imperialistic, nastiest administration in living memory. They even put Richard Nixon to shame.
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
I want to make one thing clear: I'm pro-choice, I'm pro-affirmative action, I'm pro- environment, pro-health care, and pro-labor. And if that ain't a Democrat, then I must be at the wrong meeting.
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

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

You have to take a plan that might work and make it work

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.

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

Already the scent of victory is in the air.

I think you have to repudiate torture and I think you have to end what's going on at Guantanamo and you have to live up to American values. Basically you restore - what the American dream brought to the world stage was respect for the individual and the idea that people aren't pawns that rulers can push around but they have rights.
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'.
Wesley Clark
Image
We're going to take out seven countries in 5 years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.
Wesley Clark
Image
Slobodan Milosevic was just as smart as a five-year-old. Five-year-olds have an uncanny way of getting into your psyche, your self-esteem.
Wesley Clark
Image
Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.
Wesley Clark
Image
I would have been a Republican, if Karl Rove had returned my phone calls.
Wesley Clark
Image
It was of tremendous comfort. I always said my prayers at night. My mother taught actually me to say prayers at night but most of it came from the church.
Wesley Clark
Image
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 could be a more serious violation of public trust than to consciously make a war based on false claims.
Wesley Clark
Image
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
I tremendously admire, and I think we all should, the great work done by our commander in chief, our president George Bush...
