already know, a major dem has thrown down the "win or leave" gauntlet to the president, in a formulation that echoes my post on the subject from monday. the major dem is 2004 presidential contender Wesley Clark, a likely candidate in 2008 whose stock just went up a great deal as a result of staking a firm and coherent position on the war. and just to head off the anticipated line of objection, Clark is, in my experience, broadly respected in the democratic party and would likely have won the nomination over kerry last year if he had either declared his candidacy earlier, or had held some kind of elected office. hardly any democrat has a bad thing to say about his political ideology. the doubts within th... text/html 2005-07-31T02:22:05+01:00 Postami Aggregator

http://www.postami.com/uspresidentials/Wesley+Clark/059.html the united states and britain are drawing up plans to withdraw the majority of their troops from iraq by the middle of next year, according to a secret memo written for british prime minister tony blair by defense secretary john reid. the paper, which is marked "secret -- uk eyes only," said "emerging us plans assume that 14 out of 18 provinces could be handed over to iraqi control by early 2006," allowing a reduction in overall u.s.-led forces in iraq to 66,000 troops. the current troop level is about 160,000. reid on sunday did not dispute the authenticity of the document, but said that no decision on troop levels had been made. in washington, a pentagon spokesman said officials there had not seen the document. the undated memo, which was reported sunday in the newspaper the mail on ... text/html 2005-06-28T14:05:30+01:00 Postami Aggregator http://www.postami.com/uspresidentials/Wesley+Clark/058.html a lot of the debate over whether the u.s. should withdraw or "stay the course" in iraq seems to miss a couple of points. prime among them: we may not have any choice the reserves are "broken" (see also here), recruiting is plummeting (1, 2, 3, 4, etc), and those who are already in are getting out any way they can (see also these articles about the increasingly broken army: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). the current troop presence in iraq is unsustainable (emphasis added): even more importantly, the human costs to the all-volunteer army, especially, have been staggering. the army currently has 17 brigades deployed in iraq, from an active force of 33 brigades, which should grow to 44 brigades as the result of internal army restructuring. most reserve component brigades have already been called ... text/html 2005-05-04T20:39:52+01:00 Postami Aggregator http://www.postami.com/uspresidentials/Wesley+Clark/057.html i just read through the new pace/e-volve report “power to the edges: trends and opportunities in online civic engagement” — a survey of the state of “online democracy” circa early 2005. it’s an excellent summary. and i’m not just saying that because they quoted me liberally :-) i do have some thoughts about some of the points in the report… a nitpick: the report cites moveon’s “bush in 30 seconds” campaign, where moveon members made their own campaign commercials and voted on their favorites, as an example of a good network-centric campaign. i liked “bush in 30 seconds” myself. but the report’s account of the campaign ends by asserting that members were told to vote for the ad they thought would be m... text/html 2005-04-19T10:11:49+01:00 Postami Aggregator http://www.postami.com/uspresidentials/Wesley+Clark/055.html talkleft: the politics of crime... text/html

http://www.postami.com/uspresidentials/Wesley+Clark/053.html when i was supporting Wesley Clark in the primaries (and i still think the man will eventually be a politican to be contended with), i wrote on kerry: john kerry — the man is articulate, says all the right things, has aplomb coming out of his ass, and yet he has all the charisma of tom delay at a press conference. his problem is exactly the opposite of howard dean’s, and with his decision to go on the attack, he’s turning everyone off. i really like the guy, not only for his positions on a wide variety of issues but also because he’s a bit of an american hero. he’d make a great president, but he’s a lousy campaigner.still true now. i still think he’d make a great president, and he was an amazing debater, but he was a

http://www.postami.com/uspresidentials/Wesley+Clark/047.html while bloggers were a novelty at the dnc in boston and were less of a story in and of themselves during the rnc, the quality of commentary and the number of breaking stories during the rnc show that bloggers are starting to hit their stride. the toppling of ed schrock, two-term republican congressman from virginia, after investigative reporting from a blogger showed the growing political power of citizen journalism. the use of blogging technology during protests and also from delegate phonecams on the convention floor show that this pushbutton publishing technology is filling an important journalistic niche. the convention wrapped up as first president bush spoke and then senator kerry, in an unusual move, followed from a
