Clark supporters: I need some help
Is there any information on where Wesley Clark stands on the issues? I went to his official campaign website and there was general information (articles, speeches, etc.) but nothing about specific issues, which seemed a bit odd. If I somehow missed the info on the site, please point me in the right direction.

A lot has been said about Clark this past week and some of it contradicts what I thought I knew about him. Yes, I know ... he's being "Gored" by the press, but that's exactly why I want some more info about the man. I'm trying to sift through all the crap that's been thrown at him and get to the truth. He seems like a good guy, but like most DUers, I don't rely on the media for my political info and I prefer to get the facts myself.

I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks. :-)

2. Resources
Hi - thanks for keeping an open mind and looking into his issues.

While his website is admittedly sparse (apparently, they're trying to ramp up ASAP) it does contain the foundation of his views - "100 Year Vision."

http://www.clark04.com/vision.php

For more information on interviews and speeches where he elaborates his viewpoints, go to http://www.digitalclark.com.

I would also suggest if you have the time, reading his book "Waging Modern War" which makes his foreign policy views apparent: internationalism and multi-national coalitions are the only way to tackle any military operation, and military operations should be the absolute last resort if all else fails.

Hope this helps!

3. Thank you both for the links
Looks like I'll have plenty of reading to do after dinner. :)

By the way, if anyone else has any other suggestions, please post them - I've got time to read.
