I'm excited to announce that this month, my personal memoir hit the shelves.
It's entitled, A Time to Lead: For Duty, Honor and Country.
When I set out writing A Time to Lead, I wanted to tell a story -- a story
about America. I quickly realized the only way I could really do that was by
telling you the way I experienced it. The book chronicles periods of my own
life: growing up in the South during the 1950's, my life as a soldier, my life
in politics, and beyond; it's told through my experience, and the experience of
others. Our communities and our country face many challenges. Our stories unite
us.
This is my story.
During the next several months, I'll be touring America to tell this story; I
hope to see you along the way.

schedule, recent news, videos, and more. Please check it out, and be sure to

Best,
Wes Clark

Can Iraq Get Blackwater to Go?
By Nancy Scola on September 17, 2007 - 9:05pm
We mentioned this morning that the Iraqi government has revoked the operating
license of Blackwater USA, a contractor/security firm/private army working in
Iraq. But to say that we have any real idea what that means, or indeed what
Blackwater has been doing in Iraq since the war began, would be suggesting
certainty where absolutely none exists. Congressman Henry Waxman has been
looking into Blackwater and related security firms for years, has called it "an
indecipherable world of contractors and subcontractors." That's
congressionalese for a giant, murky mess. Even the instance that has gotten
Blackwater in trouble with the Iraqi government is confusing, but is said to
involved the deaths of 8 Iraqis and the wounding of more than a dozen more.
The U.S. government is unhappy with the move because Blackwater provides
security for all American diplomats and State Department employees. (They are
the guys with guns surrounding Paul Bremer in photos from his time as Coalition
Provisional Authority chief.) Also, Blackwater has deep connections within the
Bush Administration; Vice Chairman Cofer Black was the chief counterterrorism
official on 9/11. Former CIA intelligence officer Larry Johnson has this to say:
Depending on whether the Blackwater security firm stays in Iraq will inform
us whether Prime Minister Maliki has any power or is just a U.S. puppet. My
money is on the puppet.
One problem with their eviction?
The Iraqi government has zero power to enforce a decision to oust a firm like
Blackwater. For starters, Blackwater has a bigger air force and more armored
vehicles then the Iraqi Army and police put together.
Filmmaker Robert Greenwald has a short video here highlighting what is known
about Blackwater, including the many millions in no-bid government contracts
they've received since the start of the war.

SPONSORED MESSAGE
A note from Al Franken
Its easy to get caught up in the excitement of a campaign in full swing. The
polls show that were within single digits of overtaking Norm Coleman, one of
George W. Bushs favorite Senators. Were seeing huge crowds and big
enthusiasm everywhere we go. And over 52,000 donors (so far!) have ensured
that well have the resources to continue to hold Sen. Colemans feet to the
fire.
CLICK HERE TO HELP ME TAKE ON NORM COLEMAN!
But as Franni and I criss-cross the state, Im meeting more and more
Minnesotans who remind me why its so important that we put our country back on
the right track.
Theres the nurse in Cambridge who sees elderly patients admitted into her
intensive care unit because they cant afford their medications, or because
theyre forced to cut their pills in half.
Theres the steelworker in Hibbing, up on the Iron Range, who worries that
the pension hes been counting on for 15 years will simply disappear if his
company goes bankrupt.
And theres the father in Bemidji who lost his son to a roadside bomb in
Fallujah.
This campaign doesnt just belong to me. It belongs to Minnesotans like
these who desperately want real leadership on health care, on pensions, on the
war in Iraq. And it belongs to progressive Americans like you who believe that
were all in this together.
CLICK HERE TO JOIN MY TEAM!
I need your help to continue our momentum. Even if you only have a few
dollars to spare, your contribution will help me stand up to the right-wing
machine. And if you can make that contribution before the fundraising quarter
ends on September 30th, youll help me prove to the pundits that our
people-powered campaign is strong enough to beat the special interests.
Thanks for everything you do,
Al Franken
