I posted a diary at securingamerica.com saying that this position is the perfect opportunity for Wes to get front and center so that the most qualified voice on geopolitical security can get the attention needed. The consensus at securingamerica was that it's a preposterous idea. For one thing: "If the position really had the authority to set the strategy, I think Wes would do it no matter what the risks. [Furthermore, the administration doesn't really want to change its strategy, so how could Wes be expected to make a difference."

Not withstanding how disingenous Bushco is about their motivations for their "strategy" (oil), the idea here is to put them on the spot. In light of how 3 retired generals already turned down the position, just imagine what would happen if all of the Democrats, the 55 ambassadors who endorsed Clark, and every other military man who has attested to Clark's caliber over the course of his career were to publicly advocate for Bush to accept Wes for the position. If Bush shoots him down, it'll prove that his motivations (and claims of magnaminity) are bullshit. And if accepts Clark for the position, he'll be able to call them out for any bullshit when he sees them trying to undermine his strategy because of their political reasons.

..almost done..

I just re-read Wes' "100 Year Vision" and of course became re-inspired. I also came to the conclusion that, even though many on the left don't see him as a viable candidate, nobody can read it and dispute that the next president should listen closely to what Wes Clark has to say.

I've taken the liberty of just making "100 Year Vision" the entire body of the diary because I couldn't possibly add anything to improve upon it.

Seriously, you ever notice that? Or at least get the feeling that a lot of people who lean Right, and many in the media, would scoff at that? But imagine what would happen if someone like Catie Couric would get the balls to be like, "Some have said that you don't know what 'accountability' means." What would you say to them? (And she'd be happy to be our patsy because she'd expect him to actually give an answer that has some semblance of meaning.)

But if he had to actually respond to such a question, you know damn well that you could bet your left arm that he'd say something that would leave no doubt with anyone, anywhere that the man does not fucking know what the word "accountability" means. The non-reality-based nutjobs who call up c-span every morning at least have enough sense to believe in accountability. And Rush and Sean will be left speechless if they couldn't deny that W proved that he doesn't even understand what "accountability" means.

And while we're at it, let's point out to these people that this is the same man who...

God, could you imagine how fast things would turn around for the better with President Pelosi and Vice President....

I feel your sense of urgency and outrage, man, but Dems are pathetic and will never get with the program and impeach, because they refuse to have the backbone to recongize just what kind of pure evil we're dealing with

You're right. We're doomed if Bush/Cheney isn't peacably replaced in the near future. So we better start being more creative and assertive with getting the message out to his supporters that he has said such things....and everything else on the list.

"PERHAPS the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.

Last night Mike Malloy told a caller how befuddled he is over why the Democrats have yet to formally bring impeachment charges. After all, it's not as though the reasons to do so aren't AMPLE. Of course, most of his listeners and Kossacks would concur that it's high time that Pelosi et al get impeachment proceedings in high gear.

"But they don't have enough votes, so it would be futile, and perhaps even undermine the Democrats' power if they weren't able to successfully remove Bush/Cheney."

Here's how you put the ball in the Republicans' court so you can have it both ways....

I could list the reasons I've mentioned before and get beaten down again for being sexist even though my previously mentioned reasons had nothing to do with how many X genes she has. But there is one simple reason that proves that she does not have the fortitude that is required to be our next president--SHE HAS NOT LEAD MOVEMENT TO IMPEACH!

I was adamantly preaching that we should be demanding that Bush and Cheney resign two years ago and everyone laughed at the idea that I could be so naive to expect such a thing to happen. And every day since then Bushco just kept pushing the envelope further and further to make my case stronger. I don't need to elaborate on all of what's transpired the last 2 years to make my case, you guys know it already. In fact, right now on the rec list is the best compilation of Bush's transgressions I've ever seen. http://www.dailykos.com/...

endorsing Wes Clark's stopiranwar.com petition? If there's one factor that Clark understands better than anything else in politics and war and diplomacy is that everything comes down to leverage. His petition is the crowbar, but at this point, despite being able to talk about it on The O'Reilley Factor, it hasn't gotten the kind of traction it needs in order to have the teeth and leverage it could have if our celebrity candidates all made a joint announcement to to the press and their own supporters: "Stop what you are doing and sign General Wes Clark's stopiran.com petition."

What and who are they waiting for to LEAD?
