Wesley Clark Interviewed in Newsweek

The July 14 issue of Newsweek has an interview with Ret. General Wesley Clark. We loved this excerpt:

What do you think of President Bush’s using war imagery as a political tool, like when he recently flew onto an aircraft carrier?

The world expects something more of an American president than to prance around on a flight deck dressed up like [a] pilot. He’s expected to be a leader. That’s my fundamental issue with it. It doesn’t reflect the gravitas of the office. Furthermore, it’s a little phony.

Clark also says he suspected things were going wrong with the Bush Administration just before the 2000 elections, following a conversation he had with soon-to-be National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.
