QUOTHE THE AX--"NEVERMORE":

AMERICAN MORNING: Interview With Former Defense Secretary William Cohen (CNN, October 7, 2003)

HEMMER: Another question on politics. Wesley Clark was NATO commander at the same time you were secretary of defense. He's now running for the White House. There is a lot of talk inside of Washington that there was friction between you and Wesley Clark at the time. Whether that is true or not, do you believe he would make a good president?

COHEN: Well, there was friction between General Clark and myself. And frankly, I think it would be inappropriate for me to comment on his political aspirations. I made a judgment during the time that he was serving as head of NATO, SACEUR, and I felt that the ax, as such, when it fell spoke for itself.

Does anyone who ever worked with him think Wesley Clark would be a good president?
