America needs more Doves than Hawks in the White House, who are prepared to negotiate and do all they possibly can to avoid this insane press for war with Iran/Persia.
Who knows where it will end ?
I've got a pretty good idea where it's going to end:
World War III may not be too far away.
These stupid fools know nothing.
Iran has constantly denied having or even building atomic weapons.
There is only ONE way now to STOP the war being planned against Iran:
SUPPORT Ron Paul for President.
We here at the WesClark08 channel are VERY disappointed with Wes's decision not to RUN and even more disturbed by his endorsement of Hillay Clinton. Hillary is in bed with AIPAC and is working with Joe Lieberman to attack Iran.
The Dim Congress has an approval rating of about 9%. Hmmmmmmm, I guess the Dims were wrong in thinking that stabbing the troops in the back would be popular with the American people.
The Communist Aryeh Neier is pulling the strings for Votevets through OPEN SOCIETY. Its all Soros's money behind MOVEON. The same group supported Lynne Stewart, now in prison for supporting terrorists. Get away from these groups, Vets. Speak on on your own. These SOROS groups support 100% OPEN BORDERS (US Citizenship will not matter, they support gun confiscation, they support appeasement to terrorists like Al Qaeda HAMAS and HEZBOLLAH.
I think, General Clark, you imply that you could consider war on Iran in the future.
I would worry about civilians before I would worry about soldiers. Soldiers are important, but they have signed up for their jobs. Civilians never signed up to be in a war. Many of them are weak. There are babies, old people, people with disabilities. They should come first in any discussion. This is not a game of Monopoly.
These guys hate America, and they want us to loose in Iraq. There has not been another attack on America because we went into Iraq, but we can't help democatise the region with one hand tied behind our backs. If the liberal media would spend more time on all the good our troops are doing instead of Nichol's death Americans would see that the Iraqis are glad we are there.
Most of you folks are just dedicated to the United States defeat in Iraq. Most Americans support our troops and want to win. I am not a Bush supporter; but your strategy of cutting and running simply hand victory to the enemy. Here's a unique idea. Spend as much energy on supporting a victory in Iraq and support our troops for once!
Why would people who love this country enough to serve in the military voluntarily (like the two men in the video) want the US to lose in Iraq? It's GOP chickenhawks who don't support the troops and have not been willing to do what it takes politically to win. In any case, this video is about not starting a war with Iran, precisely because it would make things MUCH harder for the troops in Iraq, and decrease our chances of success in the region.
I think it's hysterical that Clark talks of stopping a war when he almost caused one to break out between KFOR and the Russians over Pristina. Sir Mike Jackson said "He wasnt going to start World War III for You" Clark gets relieved shortly thereafter.
Lot of Generals have retired early because they understand the stupid war in Iraq will never be won. Any General that has been honest about troop levels or disagreed with Bush and Rumsfelt were forced out or gave up and retired. You can never win an occupation. NO country in the world has ever done it, not even the Romans.
oh ya...occupation...can you say Germany...Japan...Bosnia? And oh ya...i think it was the US that occupied and turned the government to the locals successfully.
You need to retake history if you think they are even close. Apples are not oranges. Germany and Japan did not have a civil war. Germany and Japan didn't have Haliburton and the other war profiteers skimming off the reconstruction dollars. We need to get out of the way and let the Iraqi people sort it out themselves
Typical right-wing lies. Clark ended up preventing hostilities at Pristina. Jackson was insubordinate, quite possibly drunk, and risked losing the entire operation. Also typical of right-wingers to take the side of a foreign general over a US general just because the American joined the wrong party later. And Clark was never relieved of anything. His 3-year tour was cut short by two months, but that didn't happen for 11 months after the Pristina incident with Jackson.
he only prevented hosilities in Pristina because CLinton and the Russians had the same goal of taking the airport at Pristina. Clinton backed down and let the Russians take control of the Pristina airport. Americans ended up basing out of Albania.
Now you're just making stuff up. We based out of Albania during the war; the Pristina incident came after, when Jackson's forces were already there. The Russians NEVER took control. Clark had ordered Jackson to park vehicles on the airstrip so that Russian reinforcements could not arrive. When Jackson refused, Clark got Hungary and Bulgaria to deny use of their air space instead. The Russians at the airfield surrendered, and Russia never got its own sector in Kosovo. Thanks to Clark.
So you'll take the word of a sniffly, upset british General engagin in hyperbole instead of checking out facts for yourself.
In other words: you're wrong and your facts are wrong. And don't buy the 'he tried to start WW3" at face value. Look at what happened and decide for yourself.
alot of you guys need to realize that iran is going to goto war with us no matter what. I mean the president is a mad man, he denies the holocaust ever happened, he is a huge jew hater and he hates the u.s. too because of us being allies with israel. this war on terrorism is more important than ww2, and i beleive iran is just another phase of this war
Um, all the warmongering talk is on the U.S.'s side. Yeah, Amad-i-nejad is nuts, but he also has very little power and he is unpopular at home. BTW, are you of enlistment age?
If the war on terrorism is so important (and I think it is too), why isn't the whole nation fighting it? And why are we letting Afghanistan fall back into the Taliban's control while we waste our resources in Iraq, and maybe soon in Iran. The Bush administration either doesn't know what it's doing, or is doing something they don't want us to know.
It's guys like these who just give our enemies more propaganda to use against the U.S. They broadcast to all our enemies that we are weak and will lose a battle if one is ever started with IRAN. Face it; these guys are using their voices for political gain while ignoring what they are doing to our troops in the field. If all of our country had gotten behind our troops; we would already have won and been out of Iraq. Wake up America and SUPPORT OUR TROOPS !
Hogwash. The best way to support the troops is to keep them out of an unnecessary war. I'm a retired Army officer and have a son in the Air Force. Wes Clark has spilt his blood for this country, and Jon Soltz has risked. Any one of us would gladly give our lives to defend this nation, but NOT the profits of Bush/Cheney cronies or chickenhawks like you.
I don't doubt that you guys THINK you are doing the right thing. The fact is that, no matter how we got into this war, we are not in it. Unless someone can tell me that there are no absolutely awful consequences to our "cutting and running"; we need to all support our troops in a strategy to WIN ! The folks who hit us on 9-11 may not have been in Iraq when we got there. They are now and we MUST WIN! God Bless Our Troops!
First Iraq is not about 9/11. The terrorist that attacked us were mostly from Saudi Arabia and the funding of the attack also came from there. Since the Bush family has ties going back decades it is no wonder that we didn't go after the Saudis. What is the Strategy to WIN? Wack a mole didn't work in Vietnam and it is not going to work in Iraq. NO country in the history of this world has won an occupation.
Are you dense or just not listening. I actually admitted that the terrorists were not in Iraq before 9/11. They are now! We have to stay now while a political solution is found. It is now being worked on. I'm sure most Americans know that the strategy now is for both a political solution. If we leave; there certainly won't be one. And al Qaeda is hoping for our defeat there. Support our troops !
Instead of blindly following the US media, you need to realize - BUSH LOST THE WAR! And now a civil war has taken hold. America has became an irrelevant bit player whose troops are dying in VAIN! Your childish idea to "win" would indicate that we're fighting "an enemy" - we're not! We're taking sides in a civil war where we have no business being! The 'Iraq' concept the Bush regime is propping up is a joke. Iraq doesn't want or need the "great white man"!
Sir i am one of those troops(with a bachelors degree may i add so you cant claim in am in the lower 10% and I was not forced to join)and people like u are with Al Qaeda. We r fighting the ones who destroyed towers...and you probably wont admit it. people like you are the first to cry when US is attacked. I agree that the US should pull out and let the muslims in Iraq kill each othe. US can move back in and care for the people who value life. Allah must be running out of virgins by now.
If you had half a brain you would realize that the US media has already declared the war lost. They cant get enough of our national security secrets and tell the enemy. Had this happened in the 1940s we'd be speaking German. With your attitude you must be of French descent...surrender at the soonest possible moment.
Problem is, Bush has no strategy. The surge is only "stay the course" with a few more troops. And even now, "the folks who hit us" aren't in Iraq. Military estimates al Qaeda makes up less than 5% of Iraq insurgents. But al Qaeda and the Taliban are taking Afghanistan back, but we don't have the resources to fight them because we're bogged down in Iraq. If we bomb Iran, we'll only make the problem worse, and the troops in Iraq will suffer the worst.
So since the military estimates that al Qaeda only makes up 5% is now a reason to leave. Where's that reasoning? We have to fight al Qaeda wherever they are. They are now in Iraq and Afghanistan. They will use an Iraq victory to turn out even more terrorists. I never supported the Bush Administration; but definitely support winning in Iraq. You folks are dedicated to the defeat of the United States. Here's a novel idea....Support our troops and the United States.
The State Dept says al Qaeda is located in at least 60 different nations. You think we should invade them all? You think we have a big enough military to handle it? When we invaded Iraq, we lost control in Afghanistan with the job there unfinished. Now we're losing in both places. But that's not what this video is about, and Clark is not for immediate withdrawal from Iraq. This is about how stupid it would be to start another war in Iran.
During my war they claimed that all of SEA would fall to communism if we didn't stay in Vietnam. Never happened. Today the Pentagon said it was a civil war so what our Military is charge to decide which side to support. No one has won an occupation in the history of Man. So tell me how we will win when NO one has ever done it. Bush is wasting the lives and limbs of our poor soldiers for what? Democracy in the middle east? Tell how many countries in the middle east are a democracy.
war with iran is inevitable, when you have the president of iran saying he was destined to wipe israel and christians from the face of the earth, theres no choice but military action. We ARE living in the end times my friends, theres nothing we can do.
israel wiped palenstine off of the map? have you even looked at a map in your lifetime? israel used to be all of the area where saudia arabia and most of the palestinian countries are today. now israel is into a very little corner.
r u on carck, when was israel ever a freakin country. and i am from middle east u weirdo. and can u even find saudi arabi on a map u ignorent freak...
You'd better learn your history. It's Palestine that has never been a nation. The area belonged to the Ottoman Empire. After WWI, Britain created Jordan to be the Arab state and promised to create a Jewish state too. But the Brits backed down and pulled out, at which time the UN split the land that was left. The Jews created the state of Israel and Jordan grabbed the land we now call Palestine. They occupied it for almost 20 years and never created a Palestinian state.
I guess you weren't aware that the whole "end times"/Rapture theology was invented in the 19th century as a sick revenge fantasy against the forces of modernism. You can take Bible verses out of context and spin them into any kind of wacky story you want. Right now you're painting Iran as the enemy; back in the '70s it was the Soviet Union. Since the USSR dissolved, fundies had to pick a new enemy.
Bush won't listen to the people, but he'll listen to his political advisors when they tell him attacking Iran could result in several Republicans calling for his Impeachment. That's what we should aim for with this.
Surely viewers can see the logic here. This message needs to be sent all across the country. Hello! Let's do something in the Middle East that makes sense.
Attacking Iran is just the sort of stupid thing George Bush would do unless we can rally enough people to give Republicans the message that they will pay heavily for another Bush mistake.
I think this video says it all. I was not in favor of the invastion of Iraq and I certainly want some sort of dialog between President Bush and the Iranian Government. It seems as if our foreign relaions have flown out the window under this administration and that disturbs me. It is time to use reason over force because the ones who ar suffering from this lack of communication are the dedicated GIs who are risking their lives on a daily basis. Keep up the good work. America is behind you.
I agree with 'thisjackis'. When are we going to realize that its the jewish neo-cons and Cheney that got us into this situation in Iraq. Someone needs to have the balls to take on this APAC lobby in Washington DC. But watch out they will be called anti-semitic in the loudest terms.
I'm much more concerned about what will happen to this country when an attack occurs. And I am almost totally convinced this WILL HAPPEN. We have already sold (given) Israel the long distance planes and bunker bombs to do this action. I can well imagine 100-200K young muslim men offering to martyr themselves against us and Israel when this bombing takes place.
Israel is impotent when it comes to Iran or Hezbollah. They don't have the military to hit Iran like they did in Iraq. Iran is too far, too heavily guarded with modern air defenses like the Russian Tor-M1 or S-300.
Thank you General Clark. I wanted to vote for you in that last election as I felt you had the military presence, experience, and the economic degree to a proper job, and certainly not somebody who had never been out of the USA before becoming President. I understand your desire to get this info out to the public, but I would offer that your discussion here is too 'military' sounding...what will happen to the troops
Well done! I've sent your petition to 1600 people. Please don't forget that the whole issue of nuclear weapon is an excuse for something else. The package of lies Bush-Cheney Co. is feeding the world with, needs more attention. They even scan anti-war emails and redirect them to spam folders, I've noticed. On video: it will have more effect if the shots of the second camera were shorter. Long side-shots with no eye contact give the feeling that you are talking to some one else! Good luck! Ramin
The only reason for us to believe that Iran's program is non-peaceful is because Israel wants us to believe so. A war with Iran will only serve Israel's interests. A WAR WITH IRAN WILL NOT ONLY PUT ADDITIONAL STRAIN ON THE MILITARY, BUT ALSO IT'LL BE FOR THE WRONG CAUSE. How long should Americans be sacrificed for Israel's interests?
Thank you General Glark for starting the website. You have my full support when you oppose a possible war with Iran. However, you should notice that Iran does not yet have a nuclear weapons program. (IAEA has approved that there is no evidence of diversion towards military use). continued ...
Thank you General Clark, and Jon. I am still haunted by the testimony Wes gave to the HSAC in 2002, let alone in 05 where it was said: "Mr. Chairman, the Bible says, 'By their fruits we shall know them.' And I think if you look at the testimony that both these gentlemen delivered to this committee prior to the war, there's no question as to who ended up being more correct. I think it's General Clark by a wide margin. -Jim Cooper, D-TN. Wes, call in your markers.
America needs more Doves than Hawks in the White House, who are prepared to negotiate and do all they possibly can to avoid this insane press for war with Iran/Persia.

You can take Bible verses out of context and spin them into any kind of wacky story you want. Right now you're painting Iran as the enemy; back in the '70s it was the Soviet Union. Since the USSR dissolved, fundies had to pick a new enemy.

I don't know, he hasn't listened to us yet what makes us think he'll listen to the people about this even with a shiny petition?
I agree with what has been said here, I just have worries about how we can stop such a hard head.

Bush won't listen to the people, but he'll listen to his political advisors when they tell him attacking Iran could result in several Republicans calling for his Impeachment. That's what we should aim for with this.

Surely viewers can see the logic here. This message needs to be sent all across the country. Hello! Let's do something in the Middle East that makes sense.

Thanks to you both. I've signed the petition (already rec'd my form acknowledgment from the WH) and now I'm off to the site to forward.

Attacking Iran is just the sort of stupid thing George Bush would do unless we can rally enough people to give Republicans the message that they will pay heavily for another Bush mistake.

I think this video says it all. I was not in favor of the invastion of Iraq and I certainly want some sort of dialog between President Bush and the Iranian Government. It seems as if our foreign relaions have flown out the window under this administration and that disturbs me. It is time to use reason over force because the ones who ar suffering from this lack of communication are the dedicated GIs who are risking their lives on a daily basis. Keep up the good work. America is behind you.

I agree with 'thisjackis'. When are we going to realize that its the jewish neo-cons and Cheney that got us into this situation in Iraq. Someone needs to have the balls to take on this APAC lobby in Washington DC. But watch out they will be called anti-semitic in the loudest terms.

I'm much more concerned about what will happen to this country when an attack occurs. And I am almost totally convinced this WILL HAPPEN. We have already sold (given) Israel the long distance planes and bunker bombs to do this action. I can well imagine 100-200K young muslim men offering to martyr themselves against us and Israel when this bombing takes place.

Israel is impotent when it comes to Iran or Hezbollah. They don't have the military to hit Iran like they did in Iraq. Iran is too far, too heavily guarded with modern air defenses like the Russian Tor-M1 or S-300.

Thank you General Clark. I wanted to vote for you in that last election as I felt you had the military presence, experience, and the economic degree to a proper job, and certainly not somebody who had never been out of the USA before becoming President. I understand your desire to get this info out to the public, but I would offer that your discussion here is too 'military' sounding...what will happen to the troops

I still can't understand why the Dems didn't pick Clark to run against Bush.

Well done! I've sent your petition to 1600 people. Please don't forget that the whole issue of nuclear weapon is an excuse for something else. The package of lies Bush-Cheney Co. is feeding the world with, needs more attention. They even scan anti-war emails and redirect them to spam folders, I've noticed. On video: it will have more effect if the shots of the second camera were shorter. Long side-shots with no eye contact give the feeling that you are talking to some one else! Good luck! Ramin

The only reason for us to believe that Iran's program is non-peaceful is because Israel wants us to believe so. A war with Iran will only serve Israel's interests. A WAR WITH IRAN WILL NOT ONLY PUT ADDITIONAL STRAIN ON THE MILITARY, BUT ALSO IT'LL BE FOR THE WRONG CAUSE. How long should Americans be sacrificed for Israel's interests?

Thank you General Glark for starting the website. You have my full support when you oppose a possible war with Iran. However, you should notice that Iran does not yet have a nuclear weapons program. (IAEA has approved that there is no evidence of diversion towards military use). continued ...

Thank you General Clark, and Jon. I am still haunted by the testimony Wes gave to the HSAC in 2002, let alone in 05 where it was said: "Mr. Chairman, the Bible says, 'By their fruits we shall know them.' And I think if you look at the testimony that both these gentlemen delivered to this committee prior to the war, there's no question as to who ended up being more correct. I think it's General Clark by a wide margin. -Jim Cooper, D-TN. Wes, call in your markers.
