General Wesley Clark, the latest candidate to enter the race for the Democratic nomination for President, seems to be another neocolonial imperialist apologist along the lines of Senators Lieberman and Kerry.

To the Editor:

The latest Democratic candidate for President, General Wesley Clark, at first seemed like a breath of fresh air with his stated anti-Bush and anti-Bush invasion of Iraq attitudes. Now he has revealed that he probably would have supported the open-ended Congressional resolution that allowed Bush to invade Iraq. This is a truly appalling admission. For a man of his supposed intellectual brilliance to not be able to see through the Bush lies, distortions, smears and innuendo is very discouraging. Millions of Americans saw through the lies and propaganda spewed out by Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rice, Powell and the Secretary of War, Don Rumsfeld. Hundreds of thousands of us demonstrated and wrote letters against this moronic unneeded war. Now Bush & Co. are stuck to their Iraqi tarbaby and are crying for their "allies" and the U. N. to extricate them from this growing quagmire. If General Wesley Clark suggests that his views on the Bush invasion of Iraq are similar to those of imperial warmongers Lieberman and Kerry, then the General is just another worthless version of "Bush Lite." Governor Howard Dean has been a consistent opponent of the Bush war on Iraq: he will get my vote.

Yours truly,
