Guess Carly Fiorina doesn't believe in National Security.

In an attack ad launched a couple weeks ago, Fiorina ridiculed California Senator Barbara Boxer's belief that climate change is a national security issue as merely being "worried about the weather." Well, dozens of military leaders and I agree with Barbara -- this is about a whole lot more than the weather -- and we have been fighting this fight for years.

I can tell you what's not smart: Taking any chance of allowing Republican challenger Carly Fiorina to defeat Barbara Boxer.

Contribute $5 or more to Barbara Boxer's campaign today! We're just hours from the crucial June 30 midnight fundraising deadline.

One of the true champions fighting against climate change and fighting for a clean energy economy is Barbara Boxer.

Barbara knows the potentially catastrophic consequences of changing climate patterns and rising sea levels. She understands the need to end our dependence on oil from nations that are certainly not our allies. And she's smart enough to know this isn't just about the weather.

That's why we need to help her now -- to make sure Barbara has the resources to defend herself from millions of dollars worth of Carly Fiorina's attack ads.

The June 30 fundraising deadline is the most important one of the entire campaign. Please contribute $5 or more to Barbara Boxer's campaign before midnight tonight!

Carly Fiorina attacking anyone on national security is mystifying to me. Here's why:

During Fiorina's failed tenure as Hewlett-Packard's CEO, HP sold printers to third parties in an effort to skirt US laws banning trade with Iran.

I'd like to say this wasn't smart, but it's much worse than that. It was reckless.

We simply cannot allow Carly Fiorina and the millions of dollars she collected after being fired from HP to defeat Barbara Boxer.

Please contribute $5 or more to Barbara Boxer's campaign before the June 30 deadline tonight!

There aren't any states bigger or more expensive than California, so please dig deep and help Barbara today!

Thank you for everything!

Sincerely,

Wes Clark

RESPONSIBLE STAKEHOLDER or REVISIONIST SUPERPOWER? PART 2
CHINA & THE WORLD IN THE 21ST CENTURY

WES ( a little later )

They're working for what's in their OWN domestic economic interest.

I go to China several times a year... I find it's pretty predictable. It's just pretty much, except for the nationalism factor….they're pretty straight forward in doing what's in their national interest. It wasn't in their national interest to push too hard against N. Korea. They're not worried about North Korea. And if it bothers us a little bit - it's OK.

This is the YouTube capture, since I can't find it yet on Fox's site.

Everyone says the Democrats are playing defense this year. Well, I'm going on offense.

That's why I was just out in Missouri's 8th Congressional District campaigning with Tommy Sowers.

I wrote to you in December about Tommy, a Green Beret and Iraq war veteran. A political outsider, he's exactly the type of candidate voters are looking for, especially running against an opponent who is not only raking it in from Washington lobbyists but is a former lobbyist herself!

I told Tommy in person that the Clark community and I would help him win. Join me and contribute $5 or more to Tommy's campaign before next week's crucial June 30 fundraising deadline!

One of the first groups to support Tommy was Clark supporters like you. Now the DCCC has joined us, adding Tommy to their "Red to Blue" list of top takeover targets across the country.

We've shown them that with a strong candidate and strong supporters, we can beat Republicans on their home turf. For years now we've been taking the fight to tough races -- and winning them.

Now, Tommy's opponent is getting desperate, and well, she's gone down a shameful route. She has attacked Tommy's 11-year career as a Special Forces officer, and we can expect more of that all the way until November.

Help Tommy fight back against the attacks on his military service. Please contribute $5 or more to Tommy Sowers' campaign today!

Riding around with Tommy in his truck, I have to say that Tommy's one of the strongest candidates I've seen, and a perfect Democratic match for this "red" district. But he can't do this on his own.

His opponent raised almost 50% of her money last quarter from PACs! And those special interests are getting their money's worth.

She's voted for trade deals that sent jobs American jobs overseas. She's voted to protect the corporate special interests over the interests of the American families.

She's the kind of politician that voters are done with. Tommy's proven his integrity, toughness, and skill, from Kosovo to Iraq. He's new blood that will turn things around for his district -- the eighth poorest congressional district in the country.

Please contribute $5 or more to Tommy before the June 30 fundraising deadline!

Tommy is fighting hard in the race, and he'll fight hard once he's in Congress to get the country back where it needs to be. This fundraising report will be the most important of the campaign. Contribute today!

Sincerely,

Wes Clark

Hello Everyone:

Here is the CNN transcript of Gen. Clark being interviewed on Campbell Brown's program by guest host John Roberts. Gen. Clark talked in detail about Gen. McChrystal, Sen. Lindsey Graham saying "This is a low point, in my view, for the armed forces in a very long time," and he talked about Afghanistan going forward:
