Clark enters White House race

Published September 17, 2003

WASHINGTON, Sept 16: Former Nato commander Wesley Clark has decided to join the 2004 White House race, making the retired four-star US Army general the 10th Democratic presidential candidate.

Clark, who headed the 1999 Nato bombing campaign in Kosovo but is a political novice, was expected to announce his decision in Little Rock, Arkansas, on Wednesday.

His entry throws another wild card into an already unpredictable campaign.

Clark, who had agonized over his decision for months, has been meeting potential donors and supporters and recently began interviewing prospective campaign managers.—Reuters
