Wes Clark sums up Bush
General Wesley Clark released the following statement today in response to President Bush's remarks today about the missing explosives in Iraq:
Today George W. Bush made a very compelling and thoughtful argument for why he should not be reelected. In his own words, he told the American people that "...a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your Commander in Chief."
President Bush couldn't be more right. He jumped to conclusions about any connection between Saddam Hussein and 911. He jumped to conclusions about weapons of mass destruction. He jumped to conclusions about the mission being accomplished. He jumped to conclusions about how we had enough troops on the ground to win the peace. And because he jumped to conclusions, terrorists and insurgents in Iraq may very well have their hands on powerful explosives to attack our troops, we are stuck in Iraq without a plan to win the peace, and Americans are less safe both at home and abroad.
By doing all these things, he broke faith with our men and women in uniform. He has let them down. George W. Bush is unfit to be our Commander in Chief.
And yes, I supported and campaigned for Clark. Now you know.

He won't be re-elected again. He can't serve more than 2 terms. That doesn't seem like a good argument to make at this stage in the game. Even if everything he said about Bush is true (its not). He needs to make comments about thing he can currently have influence over and not elections gone by. I think it shows why he was not elected.
Please note the date of this post, which was October 27, 2004. That was BEFORE the election. If you need further explanation of the significance of that fact, check this link:
