“That is what we call leadership.”

“That is what we call leadership.”

Pat Mattos Minneapolis, Minnesota

I first learned of Wes Clark during the Kosovo campaign and became reacquainted with him when he was a military analyst for CNN. His insightful analysis of the situation in Iraq, and his obvious distress that we went to war under these circumstances got my attention.
I researched him further and found that we have in General Clark a man whose first concern truly is the welfare of this country.
His has an idealistic view of our country and its promise, and helps rekindle it in those who are willing to listen.
That idealism does not mean he sees the world through rose-colored glasses. Far from it. He tells us the truth, even when it goes against public opinion. That is what we call leadership.
It is rare, it is a treasure and it defines General Clark.
