Clark strongly supports Dean

This is how Democrats should act when another democrat is attacked via the corporate media.  

Screw John Edwards and his attack first/apologize after you know what you're talking about.  Screw Biden et al for not showing the same loyalty that Clark instinctively showed.

I guess this is just further proof that Clark isn't a real Democrat or isn't Democrat enough.  If Biden and Edwards are examples of "real Democrats" then I'll take Clark's example because he and I....HAVE HOWARD'S BACK!

At Manchester Democratic fundraiser Clark says Bush ruining military

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark said Sunday that the Bush administration's foreign policy is undermining the nation's support for its military.

"We have to make our legislators and president understand we believe in a volunteer force, and we expect him to have the leadership to guide our country in the right way in foreign affairs without wrecking the military institutions that keep us safe," Clark said while attending a fundraiser for Manchester Democrats.

He also accused the administration of committing soldiers in Iraq without proper planning and support.

"(Bush) used fear, the fear of the American people to take us into a war that was purely elective," Clark said.

Clark also voiced strong support for Democratic National Committee head Howard Dean, who has been criticized for comments attacking Republicans.

"We've got to protect our freedom and our liberty," Clark said. "I'm proud of Howard Dean. I'm proud of the Democratic party. And we're going to stand together as a party."
