Clark Knew!
2002 House candidate Katrina Swett says Weasel Clark knew exactly what he was talking about when he suggested she vote for the Iraq war resolution if she was elected to Congress:
One-time House candidate Katrina Swett said Friday that Democratic presidential hopeful Wesley Clark appeared completely familiar with the Iraq resolution when he advised her to support it.…
On Oct. 9, 2002, Clark was campaigning with Swett, a Democrat who was running for Congress in New Hampshire. He told an Associated Press reporter that day that although he was concerned about the country’s move to war, he supported the resolution and would advise Swett to vote for it if she were in Congress.
…
Swett said Friday that Clark was “extremely intelligent and well-spoken” on the resolution when discussing it with her.
“At that time, frankly, he spoke with great knowledge about Iraq and the upcoming vote,” she said. “My impression is that he knew more about it than most of us.”
I don’t know which is more pathetic – Clark’s flip-flopping on the resolution or his explaining his flip-flopping by claiming that he didn’t know what was in the resolution.
