At the packed-to-the-rafters brunch preceding Nancy Pelosi's formal
swearing in, Melinda and I ran into Wes Clark (and I mean that
literally; like I said, it was packed). Clark was really angry about
what he'd read in this column by UPI Editor at Large Arnaud de
Borchgrave. In the piece, which Clark quickly forwarded to my
BlackBerry from his Trio, de Borchgrave details Bibi Netanyahu leading
the charge to lobby the Bush administration to take out Iran's nuclear
facilities, and paints U.S. air strikes against Iran in 2007/08 as
all-but-a-done deal.

"How can you talk about bombing a country when you won't even talk to
them?" said Clark. "It's outrageous. We're the United States of
America; we don't do that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the
military option is off the table -- but diplomacy is not what Jim Baker
says it is. It's not, What will it take for you boys to support us on
Iraq? It's sitting down for a couple of days and talking about our
families and our hopes, and building relationships."

When we asked him what made him so sure the Bush administration was
headed in this direction, he replied: "You just have to read what's in
the Israeli press. The Jewish community is divided but there is so much
pressure being channeled from the New York money people to the office
seekers."

Is this disgruntled wannabe running for office again? As an
ex-general, we know he knows better, so it must be political
posturing.

Perhaps he's sharing some of that "vast sums of money
from Arab sources" that you said "buys a pro-Arab view"
from Carter......or perhaps he takes issue with withholding
relevant information from the people who fight wars for this
country.....and even lying to them, perhaps.

Carter's views aren't so much pro-Arab as they are pro-any dictator
you care to name.

Wesley Clark is full of *****

and is one of the
folks the criminal Sandy Berger was protecting when he stole documents
from the people of the U. S.

The U. S. has no plans for Iran - the proof of that is how much
***** comes from the left saying the U. S. DOES have plans for
Iran.

It's like the talk of a draft - the Bush admin. has no plans
for a draft,

but Demmy dummies like you keep saying they do.

excerpt from a related article:

By Michael Carmichael, Global Research

In a stark statement published on Saturday Brigadier
General Oded Tira observed, "President Bush lacks the
political power to attack Iran. As an American strike
in Iran is essential for our existence, we must help
him pave the way by lobbying the Democratic Party
(which is conducting itself foolishly) and US newspaper
editors. We need to do this in order to turn the
Iranian issue to a bipartisan one and unrelated to the
Iraq failure."

Because of the dramatic loss of political power of the
Bush-Cheney administration, General Tira urges the
Israel Lobby to, "turn to Hillary Clinton and other
potential presidential candidates in the Democratic
Party so that they support immediate action by Bush
against Iran."

In another move designed to strengthen Bush
politically, General Tira urges the Israel Lobby to
exert its influence on European countries so that,
"Bush will not be isolated in the international arena
again."
