Dems didn't count on this. But COUNT ON IT, people! Wesley's in the race.
And well he should be. His timing is perfect. He waits it out in wisdom. Let others line up, mess up, confuse the bundle and then Wesley shows up
center stage gamming the highlights, the limelight, the headlights.
Go Wesley Go.
The more Dems the merrier. All the more agile for United States President George W. Bush's inroad, on-go, and win.
Clark outstrips his Dem competitors. His past powerhouses a remarkable push forward. According to Associated Press, Clark posted Rhodes scholar,
topped his '66 West Point class, landed superior of US Southern Command and NATO commander in the 1999 campaign in Kosovo plus sported White House
fellow.

Normally, I would have no problem with this, as he does have a solid military background, and would surely knock the front running Skull and Bonesman
John Kerry out of the favored front spot.
However, as Clark was in command of all NATO forces in Kosovo, he seems to have had a role in the use and abuse of the female sex slave industry that
ran rampant in the Balkans during the NATO incursion.
The UN and the Sex Slave Trade in Bosnia: Isolated Case or Larger Problem in the UN System
Nancy Ely-Raphel, Director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking
Testimony Before the House International Relations Committee, Subcommittee on International Operations and Human Rights

The question that concerns us today is the extent to which United Nations (UN) peacekeepers, relief workers, police forces or those with UN or other
relief agencies might be involved in trafficking in persons or sexual misconduct and, if they are involved, whether it is the result of a systematic
problem in the UN system.
There were, however, several instances of sexual misconduct among officers who deployed prior to the institution of these trafficking briefings.
We need further work in the area of prosecution. To date no American civilian police officer has been prosecuted due to lack of jurisdiction of U.S.
courts. The Criminal Division at the Department of Justice and the State Department are looking closely at how to resolve this problem.
Sixty-seven local employees of forty-two UN, non-governmental and host government agencies were accused of using their positions to elicit sexual
favors from children, primarily adolescent girls. Food, assistance allotments and other refugee benefits were alleged to have been withheld as bribes
for sexual favors.
