Does anyone know if Wesley Clark was ever a pilot?

I'd say his military record serves to discount your theory.



What, like the part about him being removed from command for reasons having to
do with personal integrity?

He's a guy who solidly can't decide what he believes. Iraq has WMD's in
front of Congress and a regime change is a must, but on the campaign
trail he appears to be contradicting himself. That type of thing seems
to be going around, though, since Howard Dean becomes a big Christian
when he's south of the Mason-Dixon line but isn't so much of a Christian
when he comes back north.

Bottom line is that the integrity of both men is questionable.

Iraq had WMDs, we sold them to Iraq. Did you miss that part out
of convenience or just not paying attention?

Why not read the transcripts your self:

Well Dubya didn't bother with all that during his campaign, he knew his
Dad and his brother would pull out the win for him.

The bottom line is that Wesley Clark has more integrity in his little
toe than Dubya could ever hope to have.

Yeah right. I'll bet it was the black helicopters too, right?

Keep dreaming. Dubya says what he does and does what he says. Wesley Clark swings
his positions around like a human weathervane in a storm. One minute he's for
disarming Saddam with force and knows that Iraq had weapons capable of causing
mass destructive, the next he says he never was. Unfortunately for him, his quotes
are in the congressional record, and even the audio/video exists.

On taxes: "Mr. Clark's "reform" is essentially an updated version of the tax
jujitsu that Candidate Clinton offered back in 1992. Promise to raise taxes only on
the upper middle class and wealthy, while offering to cut taxes on a slew of
"middle-class families." Once Mr. Clinton took office, you may painfully recall,
the middle-class tax cut vanished and everyone got socked with some kind of tax
hike.

"We've been waiting a long time for another Democrat to grab the mantle of tax
reform the way Bill Bradley and Dick Gephardt did back in the 1980s, so we studied
Wesley Clark's proposal on Monday with interest. The kindest thing we can say about
it is that we sure hope the retired general knows more about war than he does about
taxes.
....
The major difference today is that Mr. Clark is proposing to raise marginal
income-tax rates even higher than Mr. Clinton did. He'd not only repeal the Bush
tax cuts, thus restoring the top Clinton marginal rate of 39.6%, but he'd pile on
another five-point rate surcharge on incomes of more than $1 million.

Yes, friends, the old "millionaire surtax" ploy. The last time we roasted this
chestnut was also in 1992, except that once Mr. Clinton took office the definition
of millionaire became anyone making more than $250,000. Mr. Clark is proposing to
raise the top marginal rate on income to 44.6%--or about 46.6% counting the current
exemption and deduction phase-outs--higher than anytime since the pre-1986 rate of
50% when there were many more tax loopholes. And Mr. Clark keeps hinting that
Howard Dean is unelectable in November."

John Kerry was a pilot. Tells some flying stories in his bio.

What do people here think of the General?

In case you missed it he's running for President.

Kerry apparantly once was. Tells some flying stories in his bio... Not
sure when or if he dropped out.

Since I live about 30 miles from Boston I shudder to think what would
happen every time John came home to visit. My home airport (FIT) is
outside of the Class B, but Kerry's townhouse on Beacon Hill is several
miles west of BOS and if they center the TFR on his house I bet it would
shut down my airport.

As a NC resident, I think the same way about John Edwards.
You can tell a pilot from the rest of the population - he's campaigning
for the candidate farthest away from his home state!

I never thought of it that way.
Does anyone in this group know of a Presidential Candidate that is either
from Alaska or Hawaii?

Vermont has many characteristics in common with Alaska.
