Pop diva condemned the policy of the administration of George Bush. According to her, the current administration of the White House "failed incredible opportunities to unite the world, strengthen the world in regions that are only familiar with war."
The famous American pop singer Madonna spread a written statement, which condemned the policy of the administration of George Bush and called on the Americans to support the candidacy of the former Commander-in-Chief of the NATO troops in Europe, the ex-General and Democrat Wesley Clark in the upcoming presidential election, the NBC TV channel reports on Thursday.
“The biggest risk for us is not terrorism, not Iraq and the“ axis of evil. ”The biggest risk for us is the lack of leadership, honesty and a complete lack of conscience,” the singer said.
According to her, "the current administration failed incredible opportunities to unite the world, strengthen the world in regions that are only familiar with war, strengthen healthcare in places that suffer from diseases."
Madonna emphasized that he first acts with a political statement and does it as a “US citizen and mother,” who wants her children to “know what is happening in the world and can travel around the world and proudly,” RIA Novosti reports.
It is Wesley Clark who is able, according to Madonna, to prove that the United States "live according to its promises and for the sake of its people." The singer admitted that she first campaigned for presidential candidate, since "the bets are too high, too much work needs to be done."
At the same time, she noted that she respects all democrats “for their commitment to the case and patriotism”, but supported the retired general, since it was he, in her opinion, is the president who is now necessary for the United States.
The former Supreme Commander -in -Chief of the United Armed Forces of NATO in Europe, General Wesley Clark, in mid -September 2003 , decided to put his candidacy from the Democratic Party in US Presidential elections in 2004.
With calls to General Clark, former President Bill Clinton appealed to put his candidacy. However, Clinton emphasized that neither he nor Albert Mountains will take active participation in the election campaign.
Analysts call Wesley Clark an ideal candidate. 58-year-old Clark graduated from the most prestigious US Military Academy West Point. He has extensive experience in the White House, was the commander of the Southern District of the United States and the Supreme Commander -in -Chief of the United Armed Forces of NATO.
Supporters of the general gathered 1,000,000 signatures with a request to put up their candidacy in the elections.
Clark has no significant political experience, but experts believe that the general’s position on the war with terrorism and the war in Iraq gives him serious chances of victory. Recently, Wesley Clark has repeatedly harshly criticized the foreign policy of George Bush.
Clark spoke several times on various issues relevant for Americans. General Wesley Clark opens against the adoption of the so -called "patriotic act" . He believes that women have the right to choose to an abortion or not (George Bush advocates the ban on abortion). Clark considers the incorrect tax policy of George Bush, in which the rich pay less taxes than the poor.
Wesley Clark is known for his "moderate" position in relation to the "allies" of the USA in the anti -terrorist coalition. Analysts believe that Clark will more arrange many European countries as the head of the United States.
However, the main thing, according to experts, is the general’s anti -war position. It is in pacifist moods that he can build his election campaign. Clark has repeatedly stated that "war is an extreme remedy that is always better to avoid."
Also, American liberals happily took the Clark position to control the sale of firearms to the population. "If you like a serious weapon, if you like large machines, then you have the most place in the army. We have this good in bulk," Clark said.
With an open letter to General Clark, a well -known publicist and director Michael Moore addressed his candidacy.
