General Wesley Clark on the Michael Medved Show

September 17, 2007
Transcription by Melange

Voiceover: And now America's number one show on pop culture and politics. This is the Michael Medved Show.

Michael Medved: And another great day in this greatest nation on earth and a great day to get serious about what might be our next war or our next war after that and who better to talk to about that than a 4-star general in the US Army, someone who has actually commanded our troops in a war that uh, at least in purely military terms, was highly successful – the war against Serbia over Kosovo. Wesley Clark was a presidential candidate, he was general and chief of NATO forces. Uh, he is the author of a new book called A Time to Lead, for Duty, Honor and Country, a book that appears at a time when uh, General Clark has just endorsed Hillary Clinton for President of the United States and there's also an endorsement quote from President Bill Clinton, with whom General Clark served that says, "A powerful story of how America empowered a young boy to become a man, a soldier and a hero." General Clark, thanks for agreeing to speak with us.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Michael, thank you – I'm happy to be here.

Transcript by Melange

Page Hopkins: Douglas Paal is the former Senior Director of Asian Affairs at the National Security Council. Also joining us, General Wesley Clark former NATO Supreme Allied Commander. Gentlemen, thanks for joining us this morning. General Clark, let's start with you.

This nuclear club is growing and obviously we're very focused on North Korea today but what country are you worried about? What country's next in line to get a nuke up and ready?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Well the next country after North Korea, of course is Iran. And, there are many other countries - Japan can go nuclear quickly; we dissuaded South Africa from seeking nuclear weapons; the Saudis probably could get access to nuclear technology if Iran got it. Egypt is a country that would feel threatened if other countries had it. So, there's…this is a very dangerous period.

Page Hopkins: Doug, what kind of precedent has North Korea's actions setting, I mean it's sort of changed, almost ramped up the nuclear race. How do you think it's changed…changed it?

Al Franken:On Friday, I prerecorded an interview with General Wesley Clark. General Clark, as you remember, was NATO Commander from 1997 to 2000, and was in the, at hand to what was going on in the Balkans there. So, since NATO now is in Southern, operating in Southern Afghanistan, I started by asking General Clark about the status of Afghanistan. Let's listen in.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: First of all, this was a very difficult mission. When you go into another country and it doesn't have a political culture and you think you can impose or prescribe a political culture for it, like a democracy with voting and so forth, It's always a big leap. And, and then we tried to do it on the cheap.

Al Franken: That is, I mean, that, that's a, that, that's the problem. The NATO Commander, Jim Jones, who had your job, who has your, the job you had. A- and by the way, you and I first met in Kosovo.

The Politics of Ideas - Warming to India

May 17, 2006

By Wesley Clark and Will Marshall | Blueprint Magazine

At first glance, President Bush's proposed agreement with India on civil nuclear cooperation is a no-win proposition for the U.S. Senate. Rejecting the deal could chill relations between the world's biggest democracies; approving it might shred America's credibility as a leader of global efforts to restrain nuclear proliferation.

Senators can escape this dilemma, however, by offering the White House a deal of their own: support for the India agreement conditioned on concrete commitments by the Bush administration to breathe new life into the international nonproliferation system.
