September 10, 2007
As General Wes Clark would say, and certaily has said, every time we look around:
"I haven't said I'm not running."
Unless the day comes that he says that, I take it that
there's a slight, slight, slight chance
that certain preconditions ("money and organiztion") may, just may, come to be there.
That's my postion and I'm sticking with it.
General Wes is entering those most expensive of all years, for self and spouse and providing something, if possible for the progeny. He has the position of being
the one who can provide big, BIG bucks
for Gert, WesJr and his wife,Ariel, and little Wes point 3, and little Dashiel.
Meanwhile, what he has said, clearly, is that he'll be "speaking out", and he's
certaiinly been doing that.
And, thank God for it.
I don't know what we'd do without that.
(every week, We see new announcements of where he's been, what he's been saying, and to whom (world wide)( and new quotes from him .)

I do have to say.. I feel a lot better about this than when he was out there talking about the dangers of PeeTooPee networks to government and infrastructure.
Joining MSNBC as an analyst, and now Immtech Pharmaceuticals?
In my humble opinion, he should join the 2008 race instead.
I'm just sayin'.
I can't help but wonder why he hasn't said he isn't running. How could all this speculation (& stress!) be good?
"Just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back, up front there ought to be a Man In Black."

(according to us!) but in any case he needs source of funds, to live and/or to run. Quite a while before Jan. '09.
It's Astrid, not Ariel.

General Wesley Clark Joins Immtech as Consulting Strategic Advisor
September 10, 2007: 09:02 AM EST
NEW YORK, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Immtech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is pleased to announce today that General Wesley Clark (ret.) has joined Immtech as a strategic advisor. General Clark will provide counsel to Immtech's management team as the Company develops its drug programs targeting various global health challenges, including malaria prevention and treatment.
General Clark is one of the country's most distinguished retired military officers and a respected international voice in public affairs and diplomacy. He served as NATO Supreme Allied Commander from 1997 to 2000 and commanded troops in the campaign to end the Kosovo War, and he played a pivotal role in negotiating the Dayton Peace Accords to end the war in Bosnia.
"I am truly impressed by the private/public partnerships that Immtech has created as part of its effective business model to develop new treatments for global diseases," said General Clark. "I look forward to working closely with Immtech's leadership as the Company advances Immtech's promising drug pipeline."
General Clark served for 33 years with the United States Army, rising to the rank of 4-star general. He is a recipient of the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart, along with honorary Knighthoods from the British and Dutch governments. He was also made a commander of the French Legion of Honor, and in 2000 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.
"We are honored to have General Clark join Immtech in this strategic advisory role," said Eric L. Sorkin, Immtech's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "General Clark will enhance Immtech's strategic work with international companies, foundations and governments. Few people have a better understanding of international cooperation, and we stand to benefit greatly from General Clark's expertise."
General Clark graduated top of his class from the United States Military Academy at West Point, and he holds a Master's Degree from Oxford University where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He was a U.S. presidential candidate in the 2004 election and is presently Chairman and CEO of Wesley K. Clark & Associates, a strategic advisory and consulting firm. He is also Chairman of Rodman and Renshaw, a New York based investment bank
