Monday, U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias took another step into the far left wing of his Democratic base as he called in the back up forces with former General Wesley Clark. Clark was in Chicago Monday to endorse Giannoulias, but it's not the first time Clark's judgement has been questioned. The former NATO Allied Commander blames George W. Bush for supposedly ignoring former President Bill Clinton's warnings about the danger of Osama Bin Laden. Clark also was vocal about his opposition to Bush's Iraqi troop surge in 2007, as seen below on Fox News' Bill O'Reilly.
Ironic Giannoulias' grasped Clark's support the day before President Barack Obama addresses the nation, claiming victory in Iraq, three years after Bush's military surge in Iraq. Clark's answer was to send diplomats and talk to the terrorist regime. Clark's influence over Giannoulias' foreign policy votes should be of interest to Illinois voters.
