Wulsin rally raises alternate Iraq strategy

Clark: "Send a team in and talk to every country in the region, even those who don't agree with us, and listen to what they have to say. Really listen."
Wesley Clark, the retired four-star general and former presidential candidate, campaigned for Democratic congressional candidate Victoria Wulsin in Pleasant Ridge on Saturday, with a message for the commander-in-chief.
"President Bush has been out there saying Democrats don't have a plan in Iraq," Clark told about 60 Wulsin supporters squeezed into a small meeting room at the VFW on Montgomery Road.
"Hey, Mr. President," Clark said. "Right here. I'll tell you what the plan is."
The U.S. policy in Iraq is "failing," the former NATO commander said, but there is a course of action that would work:
"Send a team in and talk to every country in the region, even those who don't agree with us, and listen to what they have to say. Really listen.
"Do the same thing in Iraq. Give them some carrots and give them sticks. Make it clear to them that they must run their own country. And make it clear to them that there will be no permanent American bases in Iraq."
Cincinnati, OH – Victoria Wulsin will be joined by retired General Wesley Clark on Saturday morning for a rally and press conference at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall in Pleasant Ridge. Clark, the former presidential candidate and Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, will talk about the war in Iraq and the importance of electing a Democratic Congress that will conduct real oversight of the war.
Clark and Wulsin will be joined by Tim Goodrich, executive director of the Iraqi Veterans for Progress, a political organization that advocates a new course for the war in Iraq. Iraqi Veterans for Progress has hired an veteran of the Iraq war as a full time field coordinator for the Wulsin for Congress campaign.
General Wesley Clark,
Project H.E.R.O. Campaign Chairperson.

HAMILTON — A local veteran was visited by retired General Wesley Clark Tuesday as the Hamilton man came one step closer to getting much-needed upgrades to his home.
The home of Shelby Bowling, a 69-year-old Cleveland Avenue resident, will be one of the first two pilot sites across the nation to be part of Project H.E.R.O. — Homes Eliminated of Restrictions and Obstacles.
The program is a joint venture among the International Code Council Foundation, Paralyzed Veterans of America and the Disabled American Veterans.
A Vietnam veteran, Bowling suffers from diabetes and is limited to the first floor of his two-story home. He uses a motorized wheelchair to move through his house.
Plans for Project H.E.R.O. include a $75,000 to $80,000 addition with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and a bedroom and bathroom on Bowling’s first floor.

Two local congressional candidates - one Democrat and one Republican - brought nationally known heavyweights to Cincinnati on Tuesday.
Democrat John Cranley, who is challenging Republican incumbent Steve Chabot in the 1st District, had retired four-star Gen. Wesley Clark at a fundraising event in a private residence in Hyde Park.
Clark, who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination two years ago, met with Democratic activists at the University of Cincinnati in the afternoon and then appeared at an Ohio Democratic Party fundraiser at the Westin Hotel before going on to the Cranley event, which had no set admission price.
