[Music in background] Male Announcer: The President's oath of office: to preserve, protect and defend.

It also describes what General Wesley Clark has already done for more than 30 years.

Number one in his West Point graduating class.  A Rhodes scholar with a Master's in Economics from Oxford, Wes Clark chose duty and country over a business career.

He served in Vietnam.  Rose through the ranks...and became a four star general...one of our country's most decorated soldiers since Dwight D. Eisenhower.

As Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces, General Clark ended Slobodon Milosevic's genocidal dictatorship...

A Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, General Clark has spent his life serving our nation -- a nation which needs him now more than ever.

Unafraid to speak his mind.  Unwilling to put politics ahead of duty, he has never failed to answer our country's call...to preserve, protect and defend our nation -- and all for which it stands.

Draft Wesley Clark...for President.
