If it Walks, Talks, and Smells Like a Skunk...

Some people call him General, some Wesley, and others Weasley Clark. But if you examine his public statements, I believe that the only proper moniker can be traitor.

Our U.S. Constitution defines spells out treason as: “…levying War against them [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort (Art III sec 3).

Since his retirement from the US Army, Mr. Clark has waged war against President Bush verbally. I do not suggest that dissension is treacherous but that his rhetoric has elevated to the level of adhering to our enemies and giving them aid and comfort. Today’s statements are a prime example. In response to President Bush’s speech today Washington, Mr. Clark stated that (paraphrased) while no one denies the seriousness of the terror threat, “…most people believe that the invasion of Iraq was a mistake.” Really?

It is statements like this that lead me to believe that Mr. Clark’s remarks embolden our enemies with the sense that Americans do not have the resolve to continue the fight against terror. Remarks like this weaken public opinion of the war on terror and adheres the speaker with the cause of our enemies. Mr. Clark’s campaign against this administration gives aid and comfort to our enemies be seeking to destroy our elected leaders.

Mr. Clark has the right to his opinions. In fact, he has been stating this particular opinion for several years now. He has the protected right to voice those opinions. However, he must understand that when his words are designed to flirt with the line between truth and falsehood with the intent to undermine our president, he is waging war not against a man but against our country. In my protected opinion, Mr. Clark is a traitor.
