Wesley Clark Hammers McCain's Experience »
Posted By capj71 3 months, 1 week ago in NewsWesley Clark was on Face the Nation today, and he took aim at the idea that McCain's Vietnam War experience makes him more qualified to be president. "I don't think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president. With one swoop, Clark attacked the entire basis for the McCain presidential campaign.

Well, I don't think bombing civilians in Bosnia, bombing a Chinese Embassy by mistake, and blowing up a church in Waco Texas makes Clark a good reference on anything. Sen McCain is better positioned to be President on the first day then the Democrat who ever that turns out to be. I hear there is a question of OCarters valid Birth certificate. He might lose by default.

Wesley Clarke is a good man plain and simple. As for any belief that because a person has a D or an R next to their name means anything at all in this time, well sadly you are mistaken. The record speaks for itself. After the last 8 years of failure and incompetence why anyone would believe in the slogans of the GOP requires blinders and a feedbag full of koolaid at least.

Retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark helped an Arkansas information company win a contract to assist development of an airline passenger screening system, one of the largest surveillance programs ever devised by the government. Starting just after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Clark sought out dozens of government and industry officials on behalf of Acxiom Corp., a data powerhouse that maintains names, addresses and a wide array of personal details about nearly every adult in the United States and their households, according to interviews and documents. Clark, a Democrat who declared himself a presidential candidate 10 days ago, joined Acxiom's board of directors in December 2001. He earned $300,000 from Acxiom last year and was set to receive $150,000, plus potential commissions, this year, according to financial disclosure records. He owns several thousand shares of Acxiom stock worth more than $67,000.

Wesley Clark is an incompetent that was fired, yes, fired from NATO. He ordered a British Officer to close London Airport to some incoming Russian diplomats, and the Brit told him, "I am not starting WW3 for you, General." Next thing you know, old Wes was gone. Try reading more, and watching less TV.

This is one adviser for the candidate of change. If this is change I'm sure not for it. To deride someones patriotism is so sad. What better qualifies Obama for CIC? His military service? His 16 months in the Senate? Being on the board of ACORN?

Wesley Clark is a lying weasel. I sure would like for him to answer some questions about his part of the siege of the church in Waco.
The remarks by Clark are such drivel from a man who has no record to be proud of or anything else.

After decades in the news business, Bob Schieffer may have thought he'd heard it all — until yesterday on Face the Nation, when he interviewed Wesley Clark. Clark came as a surrogate for the Barack Obama campaign and attacked John McCain's military service, saying that he was "untested and untried". After Schieffer pointed out that McCain commanded the largest naval air squadron, had honorably endured over five years of torture as a POW in Vietnam, and had been on the Senate Armed Services committee since Obama was in college, Schieffer asked how Clark could claim that McCain was "untested and untried". Clark stunned him with this answer:

Because in the matters of national security policy making, it's a matter of understanding risk, it's a matter of gauging your opponents and it's a matter of being held accountable. John McCain's never done any of that in his official positions. I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands of millions of others in the armed forces as a prisoner of war. He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee and he has traveled all over the world. But he hasn't held executive responsibility. That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded wasn't a wartime squadron. He hasn't been there and ordered the bombs to fall. He hasn't seen what it's like when diplomats come in and say, `I don't know whether we're going to be able to get this point through or not. Do you want to take the risk? What about your reputation? How do we handle it publicly?

For Obama to claim to disavow this is the way he works, send a lackey out to do your dirty work and claim to know nothing about it.

How many of you realize that Clark was saying the exact opposite four years ago?
