Clark | Busted!

We've all heard accusations that Clark had changed his position on Iraq since he entered the Presidential race. Now the NY Times thinks they've unearthed the proof. Clark apparently made the following remarks in 2002:

Certainly there's a connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda ... It doesn't surprise me at all that they would be talking to Al Qaeda, that there would be some Al Qaeda there or that Saddam Hussein might even be, you know, discussing gee, I wonder since I don't have any scuds and since the Americans are coming at me, I wonder if I could take advantage of Al Qaeda? How would I do it? Is it worth the risk? What could they do for me?

This appears to be merely speculation, from a man who did not have the access to the same information that the White House did at the time.

If a man is speculating, he’d best not use words like ‘certainly.’

Democrats can say anything they want. What ever it takes to get elected.

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.
