Hi, I'm Wes Clark from Little Rock, Arkansas. I served in the United States Army for 34 years before retiring as a 4-Star General in 2000. I have a wonderful family who continues to support me everyday. My wife Gert, my son Wes Jr, his wife Astrid, and my two grandsons, Wes and Dashiell, inspire me to do the very best I can for this country. I'm working hard to fight for an America that we can all be proud of and that all nations respect. Join me in this fight, visit http://www.securingamerica.com and get involved!
Unite Behind Barack Obama
There has never been a more important election in my lifetime -- with a war waging, gas prices at record highs, our health care in crisis, and our nation's standing around the world severely diminished. I spent the last year traveling across the country talking to great Americans in Iowa, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Ohio, Texas, South Dakota, Indiana and many other places. They all agree on one thing: This country needs new leadership, and it's time for change.
Many of you in the Clark community answered the call. Some of you worked tirelessly for Senator Clinton while others poured hours into Senator Obama's campaign. You did this because you were willing to sacrifice your time and energy to bring the change we so desperately need. I can't thank you enough for all you have done.
Now I am asking you to come together and make sure Barack Obama is our next president. This is a critical mission.
Hillary Clinton ran an amazing race. She inspired millions. Our party is a better party because of her campaign, and our nation is a better nation because of her service. She is and will always be a friend whom I admire.
I congratulate Senator Barack Obama on securing the nomination. His historic campaign has touched lives and his message has moved people in every corner of America. I believe he is not only ready for the challenge but will be a great President.
It's time our party comes together to stand behind Senator Obama as we move forward in this election season. I look forward to doing everything I can to help Senator Obama's campaign. While I respect John McCain's service, I know exactly what he stands for -- Bush's third term. America is a great nation, and our people deserve more. We need Barack Obama to be our next president.
Stop Iran War!
All Americans want to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons and interfering on the ground inside Iraq. Yet President Bush’s saber rattling gives the US little additional leverage to engage and dissuade Iran, and, more than likely, simply accelerates a dangerous slide into war. The United States can do better than this.
Whatever the pace of Iran’s nuclear efforts, in the give and take of the Administration’s rhetoric and accusations, we are approaching the last moments to head off looming conflict.
Cannot the world’s most powerful nation deign speak to the resentful and scheming regional power that is Iran? Can we not speak of the interests of others, work to establish a sustained dialogue, and seek to benefit the people of Iran and the region? Could not such a dialogue, properly conducted, begin a process that could, over time, help realign hardened attitudes and polarizing views within the region? And isn’t it easier to undertake such a dialogue now, before more die, and more martyrs are created to feed extremist passions?

What a long, strange trip it's been, sir. When I used the words 'humanize' and 'empire' in the same sentence to a friend regarding Obama's receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and that the runner up was the former Army Medic, Greg Mortenson who now builds schools in Central Asia-I realized that words can really be awkward tools of expression when trying to describe the unprecedented-strange new phrases come to my mind now like 'inter-lateral'-which also sounds like an innuendo, but if it weren't for 'inter-lateralism' none of us would have been born...lol The other one is 'national-pluralism' which sounds like a satirical retort to the infamous 'national-socialism' but we will need to attract and develop an educated immigrant population to help fill jobs in needed professions as many in this country will be aging, retiring, and dying...a sense of 'national-pluralism' may be the very thing that keeps things stable, even improving, domestically. And even if every human being on earth never committed another act of violence...mother nature will continue to put a hurting on us with murderous natural disasters and the like...you can't fool mother nature and she never forgets either...you've always argued against war when a better diplo-economic (yes, I just came up with that) solution can be used to prevent or eradicate a blood-battle whose greatest sufferers aren't the dead themselves but those who've had to witness and survive them...it's probably the same for survivors of these disasters. Thanks for calmly educating us during the early days of the financial crisis last year-in front of a live audience when you only expected to do a quiet cyber-interview-but I guess that's what happens when a real live shock-trooper is issued a serious economics degree-now let's see what happens when a real live commander-in-chief is awarded a serious peace prize...
