Description— Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark (search), a four-star general and strategic military thinker, is a longtime opponent of war in Iraq. At least, that's his story and he's sticking with it.

"I've been against this war from the beginning. I was against it last summer. I was against it in the fall. I was against it in the winter. I was against it in the spring, and I am against it now," Clark said in last Sunday's debate of the nine Democrats seeking to replace President Bush in 2004.

But a number of conflicting statements raise questions about Clark's positions. Before the war, Clark emphatically declared Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. As U.S. forces were deployed to the Persian Gulf, the former NATO (search) Supreme Allied Commander said U.S. credibility was on the line, and "we're going to go ahead and do this, and the rest of the world's got to get with us."
