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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Wesley Clark

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

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.

What I learned in the military is that gossip starts early and it stays forever.
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
This is kind of hard to articulate, but in broad outline, the United States is going to do what the United States has to do.
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...
Wesley Clark

The safety of our country demands an end to the doctrinaire, ineffective policies that currently grip Washington. Enough is enough! A safe America - a just America - that's what we want, that's what we need.
Wesley Clark

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

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.
