look at everything he does. His first inclination is to say no if he's asked for something. It's about what HE gets, not what the country gets. Its seems to me that he would rather cut a deal with a murderous dictator in NK for a future hotel rather than help an ally that is being hit by a hurricane.

But not one word of it hasn't been obvious for five years. Just unsaid by anyone in the media. If the media will now be allowing this kind of critique of Trump into print and on the air, the tide could at last be turning. Will the common good finally outweigh the money that folks such as Les Moonves found so irresistible last election? And will there be an accounting this time around?

At least some reporters are pushing to cover issues with more truth and less equivocating or placating a corrupt president.

“Now, as America is wrestling with the surging of a moment that began in August 2014, its biggest newsrooms are trying to find common ground between a tradition that aims to persuade the widest possible audience that its reporting is neutral and journalists who believe that fairness on issues from race to Donald Trump requires clear moral calls.

The conflict exploded in recent days into public protests at The New York Times, ending in the resignation of its top Opinion editor on Sunday; The Philadelphia Inquirer, whose executive editor resigned on Saturday over the headline “Buildings Matter, Too” and the ensuing anger from his staff; and The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. And it has been the subject of quiet agony at The Washington Post, which Mr. Lowery left earlier this year, months after the executive editor, Martin Baron, threatened to fire him for expressing his views on Twitter about race, journalism and other subjects.”

lots of people (from all walks) laboring to do the right thing. The naysayers too often get the bullhorn .. (and too much weight?)

He's smart, a clear thinker and he's tremendously accomplished.

I don't now his political views but the opinions he voiced in this interview are those of an American patriot.

Like VP Biden, he's the kind of leader we need going forward.

Every now and then he's asked by admirers but says no.

Ran the war in Bosnia without one American death. He should be SOD!

advocate considered for HRC's VP and SecState. And now I've pretty much shot my wad for "the generals," as Trump calls them.

Say, “ My,” but it is pretty clear they are not!

realize, if he hadn't already, that the admiral was emphatically not his type. Vice versa would not have occurred to him, of course, but in any case probably just an exercise in vanity.

it seemed a bit Eisenhower-esque. He's a well educated thoughtful liberal Dem

I don't think he liked campaigning. Just never seemed to find a foothold. Like Bob Graham in '04.

He chose not to take part in the Iowa caucuses, and got pretty much crushed by John Kerry's momentum post Iowa.

I think things might have gone very differently if he'd gotten in a few months earlier, and had enough time to build a proper ground game.

like 'forget Iowa.'

I think he had time, but not the best advisors.

Lots of people here did.

Worked on his campaign from home.

a major part of my 'early' political experience!

Kerry won the nomination.

And when Putin’s mad, Trump gets sad.

Oh, well. Too bad.

Bye Don!

He came to town. I went to see him and even got to ask a question

Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, the former NATO supreme allied commander in Europe.

Clark is now a senior fellow at UCLA’s Burkle Center for International Relations and director of the Atlantic Council. His many honors and awards include the Presidential Medal of Freedom and Commander of the Legion of Honor (France).

Finally. This should have happened a couple years ago.

erp

What might have been.

I’d love to see more of him in the next administration!

I would certainly hope his numbers are going down.

There's nothing you can to to stop the popups. PIece of garbage.

Drumph called on Russia to hack and publish Clinton's emails: Russia responded the same day.

Russian troll bots populate his Twitter feed to propagate real "Fake News" on each of his tweets & retweets.

Look at America today compared to 3.5 years ago: Wes Clark and everybody should come to the real conclusions.

Michael Cohen (who serves a 3-year sentence in jail having plotted on tape with the maggot to defraud Electoral-Funding for illegal payments to a porn star) said under oath that the plan to build a dRumph tower in Moscow was on-going during the campaign.

Drumph is fighting in court to keep his tax returns secret, while he said he would be "happy" to release them more than 4 years ago.

Read the (redacted) Mueller Report. How many crimes is Barr hiding??

Clear conclusion to everyone paying attention: Drumph was and is a Russian mole.

Thanks for this, Arkie; now I can get some rest.

I used his radio call sign from Vietnam. Caught him by surprise and he appreciated that we were in the same division but not at the same time. He's an authentic badass. This is what real leadership looks and sounds like.

Wes was in second place in New Hampshire and Kerry and Edwards were way down in single digits when they unexpectedly topped the Iowa caucuses and came roaring into NH. Kerry went on to win but Clark got second place in many states while Edwards came in first only in his home state (favorite son) and Clark outbid him elsewhere. Then came the blackout in Tennessee and Wes, seeing the handwriting on the wall, flew to meet with Kerry and supported him. It was a surprise that Edwards was chosen as VP as many excected Clark to get the position. Edwards then sort of drifted out of the spotlight, a bad choice.

I hope Clark gets a prominent position in the Biden administration (Sec of Defense, Ambassador to the United Nations, whatever). Wes is, as they say, a national treasure.

Good to see you HERE!

He's truly a national treasure!
