Wesley Clark, former U.S. generalThe Military Mind
We might have to wait until Labor Day for a presidential candidate, but it’s never too early to start talking running mates. General Wesley Clark, whose name has come up as a potential VP, lays out the direction he thinks the next president should take on military policy. Plus, how the Middle East is viewing Annapolis and we mourn the death of the Washington party scene.
