Wesley Clark - It all comes back to leadership

Clark is a guest blogger this week over at TPM Cafe. I've liked a lot of what he has to say. Especially this It all comes back to leadership:

Our country is hurting right now. Our situation in Iraq is floundering; gasoline may reach more than $4 per gallon by Tuesday; and the entire Gulf Coast of the United States is wounded and limping. The common need our people have -- and count on -- to see us through these challenges is leadership.

Normally, something like this, an ambitious pol questioning the president in a time of crisis, would make me sick. If we had a president who was making the slightest credible attempt to lead and cope with the Katrina disaster, I would find Clark's statement offensive.

But he is right.
