Clark | Clark Stumbles a Bit, Lieberman Pounces

Is backtracking forgivable if it occurs only a day after the original track is laid? We'll have to see. In an interview on Thursday of last week Clark shocked supporters by mentioning that he probably would have voted for the Iraq resolution. Then on Friday he recanted "Let's make one thing real clear, I would never have voted for this war". (Source: CNN)

Lieberman wasted no time jumping on Clark's misstep, remarking Sunday in an interview with the Des Moines Register:

As commander in chief, as president, you've got to be able to decide what you think is right for the country's future with a clarity of judgment and have the courage to stick with it.

As a democratic candidate, you have to hold self-aggrandizement above your party, your policy, and your country.

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
