Warner played the company line.

5. Here he is


Glad he praised the men in military and their family.

Heartwarming to see him shake hands.
Glad to see him call on others to join the army.

6. Wes Clark said
Didn't explain why car bombings have gone up.

Pres. said things about american resolve.

Now that we are there we have to succeed.

23. I don't think that any dem should go there and "legitimize" fake news
I didn't see him tonight so I can't comment on what he said. I just think in general it's a bad idea.

I do like Clark though...don't get me wrong.

26. Like I said....to each is own...
It's about time more people, especially those on the right hear the words that clark spoke tonight.

Clark said that this was an elective war....a war that didn't have to be fought....a war that Bush CHOSE to fight.

He also said that we are actually creating more terrorists there....folks who might not otherwise be terrorists if it wasn't for this invasion...and so we are faced with a dilemna...we want to win, but in so fighting we are creating more of what we are supposed to defeat.

I think he did excellently in this interview.

Gave Bush credit for recognizing our men and women in uniform.....but not any more than that.

Perfect analysis that Faux audience could digest and understand...which is what is needed.

27. And he was IN the military

so they have to respect that about Wes Clark.
I thought he did a great job.


I hate Fox but I have to say that I'm glad their audience heard him.

16. I think it was because Hume asked a question about bailing out of Iraq.

19. Clark did great!
He honed into the fact that Bush didn't answer any of the questions as to why....if things are so "peachy", there are more car bombs, more terrorists.

Stated that Bush elected to go to war...and that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. That Bush took us into this war...and now we are there.

That we are creating more terrorists than there would have otherwise been.

That we are facing a dilemna....that we can't afford to lose, but that we are destroying our main objective...because we are creating MORE terrorists.

The rest of the shit was for the Faux audience....but he certainly did get the f&cking point across to the numbskulls.....artfully and with clear direct simple points.

15. Yeah!! I enjoyed watching Fox for the first time ever.
Clark was great! He really was. And how refreshing to see someone who isn't in Bush's pocket get a chance to speak on FOX! Good times.

24. I though he banged em good on the Saddam/9-11 connection and WMD.
Also nailed him on the elective war that was not necessary and said that our actions are creating terrorists. Some of you guys are a tough to please.

25. I agree
People who watch Fox news Have to get the message.
Iraq did not put the planes in the towers.
Iraq was not and is not the enemy.
I think Wes on Fox is a GREAT start
