The Wit and Wisdom of Wesley ClarkAs a special public service, My Stupid Dog is proud to present a collection of memorable statements from the current Democratic front-runner.
A Man Who Hears the Clarion Call of History: These are historic times and we are going to run a campaign that is worthy of historic times.
A True Public Spirit: I remember a couple of times in the military when the ballot either got there late or I wasn't there when the ballot arrived.
A Man of Experience: If I've learned one thing in my nine days of politics, you better be careful with hypothetical questions.
An American Patriot, sort of: Patriotism doesn't consist of following the orders, not, not not when you're not in the chain of command.
Fierce Defender of Freedom: If you look at the way we operated in Eastern Europe, we were effective in taking down communism because there was no embargo. The Iron Curtain was something they built, not something we imposed.
A Man of Principle: I am pro-choice, I am pro-affirmative action, I'm pro-environment, pro-health. That's why I'm proud to be a Democrat.
A Man of Principle, part two: I would have been a Republican if Karl Rove had returned my phone calls.
A Man Who Remembers the Little People: It's like what we did in the military when we went to the motor pool and talked to the troops — only better.
A Man With a Mission: I miss being in the Army. It's a wonderful thing to have a team, to have a mission, to build a sense of purpose, to see a plan come together.
A Man of Peace: Let's make one thing real clear, I would never have voted for this war. I've gotten a very consistent record on this.
A Man of War: At the time, I probably would have voted for
, but I think that's too simple a question.
A Man of Peace and War, but probably War: I've said it both ways because when you get into this, what happens is you have to put yourself in a position -- on balance, I probably would have voted for it.
A Man of Peace now, and War later: That having been said, I was against the war as it emerged because there was no reason to start it when we did.
A Man of Peace after all: I never would have voted for war. What I would have voted for is leverage. Leverage for the United States to avoid a war. That's what we needed to avoid a war.
A Man Who Asks Tough Questions: We are going to ask, Why are we engaged in Iraq, Mr. President — tell the truth! Why, Mr. President? Was it because Saddam Hussein was assisting the hijackers? Was it because Saddam Hussein had a nuclear weapon that might bring a nuclear cloud? We don't know. And that's the truth. And we have to ask that question.
A Man Who Asks for Help: Mary, help!
A Man of Conviction: Stop. Stop. I promised I wasn't going to take a strong position.
A Man of Firm Conviction: I don't know enough to give you a comprehensive answer at this point. I know enough not to give you a comprehensive answer at this point.
A Man of Unshakably Firm Conviction: I'm not going to set a policy with you winging it in the back of an airplane.
A Man of Absolutely, Unshakably Firm Conviction: I'm not committing anything right now to anything, until I've got my economic facts and figures in order.
A Man of Unquestionably, Absolutely, Unshakably Firm Conviction: I'd like to see the military relook the <"don't ask, don't tell"> policy. I didn't say change it — I said relook it.
A Man Who Loves Iowa: Now this is an Iowa breakfast! That's a real Iowa outfit! Some of my best friends from the military are from Iowa.
A Man Who Respects the Cuban-American Community: I respect the Cuban-American community.
A Man What Takes His Time: It's not like the election's tomorrow.
