Dean said it, got called on it for it being misleading, and then said it again. It's a simple lie: Clark was not a Republican. He was not. Dean could have said he was "acting like a Republican" or "he sure didn't look like a Democrat to me"--but he chose to simply lie.
As for the war quote, Clark was a klutz thinking out loud and it reflected poorly on him to play loosely with a hypothetical to a reporter. But his writings and actions revolve around the importance of multilateralism and the strategic folly of the Iraq war. This is not ambiguous: Clark thought the war was a bad idea.
