next stop broadway for homo politicus.
his dizzying policy changes, waffling, and dancing about vis-a-vis iraq
as his presidential ambitions grew in his head, the side-stepping and jitterbug movements increased with predictable frequency. while it
took two generations to get two versions of president bush, we have two versions of wesley clark in the span of a few months.
i liked the older clark better, before the taint. the man's analysis on cnn was spot-on. he was supportive, knew the history of failed
inspection regimes and u.n. kowtowing, alluded to the deplorable and incorrigible nature of saddam, sons, et al, and and understood
the importance of decisive action in the face of such bureacratic waffling. now, the top rail has gone bottom, reversing an old antebellum
saying.

occasions that Saddam Hussein "absolutely" possessed weapons of mass destruction but then said last week, no such weapons having
yet been found, that "there was no imminent threat" to justify a war against Iraq. While those two statements are not automatically
incompatible, they suggest confusion or worse.
