Not Ready For Prime Time

Powerline was absolutely on fire yesterday.

First - a fascinating series of links about General Clark, explaining why he's just not a viable alternative, even for those looking for a less-fevered alternative to Dean.

Money bit:

Clark now blames the non-capture of Karadzic on the fact that he had to cooperate with the French. But this dodge undercuts Clark's insistence on multilaterlism when it comes to Iraq. And, speaking of Iraq, Jacoby points out that "before he became a presidential candidate, Clark strongly supported the Iraq war resolution; since entering the race, he has tied himself into knots insisting that he actually opposed it. Before becoming a candidate, he described Saddam as a menace requiring urgent action -- 'the clock is ticking,' he said last year. Now Clark labors to explain why Saddam wasn't a burning issue --'there was no ticking clock,' he said last week."

It seems to me that Clark is even less ready for prime-time than Dean.

Read the whole thing - there are some essential links.

Before that - comparing the rantings of Al-Jazeera and those of Madeline Albrecht
