Jon Elliot: Welcome back with us America. I'm Jon Elliot and I'm delighted to welcome this particular guest to our program. I first had the privilege of talking to General Wesley Clark five years ago in August of 2003 and when he was ... the rumor was he was thinking about running for president at the time and I remember saying to him, ‘well I'm not going to ask you the question because Andy Card told us nobody markets a product in August' so uh, the gentleman that I really do believe is qualified to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of Defense, Vice President and President of the country and there aren't too many people like that. General Clark, how are you, sir?
GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: I'm fine. Thank you for those kind words, Jon.
Jon Elliot: Well, they're true sir, they really are. I've asked you on the program because I'm concerned about the sudden flair up in ... in Georgia and the response we received from John McCain and all of a sudden the focus seems to be away from Iran being the next great war frontier and uh, now there's a focus in Georgia. Are we in such a position that we are so weakened because of these two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq General, that we can't even contemplate any type of action ... and perhaps you would suggest that we shouldn't?
