General Wesley Clark Attacks McCain AGAIN
Retired General Wesley Clark, thrown under the bus by Barack Obama earlier in the day, is coming back for a second round of attacks on John McCain.
There are many important issues in this Presidential election, clearly one of the most important issues is national security and keeping the American people safe. In my opinion, protecting the American people is the most important duty of our next President. I have made comments in the past about John McCain’s service and I want to reiterate them in order be crystal clear. As I have said before I honor John McCain’s service as a prisoner of war and a Vietnam Veteran. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in Armed Forces as a prisoner of war. I would never dishonor the service of someone who chose to wear the uniform for our nation.
John McCain is running his campaign on his experience and how his experience would benefit him and our nation as President. That experience shows courage and commitment to our country – but it doesn’t include executive experience wrestling with national policy or go-to-war decisions. And in this area his judgment has been flawed – he not only supported going into a war we didn’t have to fight in Iraq, but has time and again undervalued other, non-military elements of national power that must be used effectively to protect America But as an American and former military officer I will not back down if I believe someone doesn’t have sound judgment when it comes to our nation’s most critical issues.
More ….More…..Wesley Clark is clearly out of line then and now. It is all about Wesley Clark now, isn’t it?
The LEFT may love the attacks -look at the some of the comments at Ben Smith’s blog:

But, this will NOT play very well with the American voters. Watch Obama RUSH to publicly denounce Wesley Clark tomorrow and take him to the woodshed.
Could John McCain wished for a better 4th of July?

Wesley Clark – Fall guy. Obama – Floating Above the fray. McCain – On defense. Sound familiar? Bush, Kerry & Swift boat veterans? If more and more army vets start pushing this line of attack (left already is), then its going to take hold, unless McCain does something real fast.

McCain may have to push back harder tomorrow. But, he has alot of military support. McCain must take the gloves off and go after Obama.
I doubt there will be the ads sponsored by the Dems like the Swift Boat Veterans due to Obama’s lack of military experience.
The analogy is real though.

At our site, we confess to being mystified. I don’t see indignation as a successful campaign strategy. On the other hand, in 1988 I did not see the Pledge of Allegiance as a likely strategy either.

Yes! Clark is a fighter – with brains. McCain is not only Bush III, he’s Dole II. Entitlement is a false test for presidential caliber.

Don’t you think General Clark has lost most of his credibility?

really thats all johm mccain is, a ex prisonor of war. he drop out of school, joined the military ,failed his mission and was captured for five years. general clark has every right to question mccains history,which is basically not very impressive. mccain is a good man but not the right man to be president.
Flap
You are as wrong about McCain as you are about Iran and Israel.
He graduated from Annapolis.
sandra
jee he must be presidental material. in australia he’ll make a great postman. and i’m not wrong about iran and israel. suppose you were arguing to invade iraq in 2003 to stop iraqi WMD,which turned out to be lies manufactured by the mossad.tell me when you talk about iran its all ‘suspected’,nothing factual. no one except the iranians know what there doing. israel and USA only suspect it. yet its good enough for war. iraq was destroyed by lies and now you want the same to happen to iran.

@10
It is easy for Iran – stop uranium enrichment.
BTW Iraq had WMD, used WMD and many countries intelligence agencies blew that one. Still Saddam had to go.

How on Earth can Clark think McCain has less military experience than Obama ? Thats the kind of thinking that made us lose in Vietnam.
Really Obama has no experience except a session in the Senate and a few years as a corrupt Chicago politician.
Clark thinks because Mccain backed a war that Clark thought we would lose in months, he does not have the judgement to be President. Obama:
Announced his career change to politician in the living room of a terrorist.
Refuses to admit that Muslims see himasa Muslim because both his biological father and adopted father wereMuslims.
His wife wasd not proud of America until he ran for the office.
Went to church every week for 20 years listening to a man hat is the black version of the KKK.
Lies about his family background as that he was born in Seattle and raised in Hawaii; his Mom only spent 3 years in Kansas and her parents were not mainstream christians but Universalists; his Mom attended a Marxist high school in the 1950’s.
Obama admits to selling drugs.
Now there is a list of bad decisions! Obama barely has the judgement to wash a car or scrub a floor let alone be President

@ Bri
And, now Obama is lying on television that he was responsible for welfare reform when he actually opposed it during the Clinton years.
McCain should be screaming about this too.
Bri
Oh by the way, regarding the WMD in Iraq– ask the families of the hundreds of thousands killed by WMD (see UN statements) if they existed.
If they existed and were dumped, Saddam could have easily remade them in weeks thus we had to invade and only a person with the intelligence of a worm could honestly believe otherwise. The fact that Iraq HAD WMD is undisputed. The fact that the UN in 1991 authorized the 2003 invasion is undisputed as well if you read the actual text of the resolutions. Remember, the guy that was running the UN in 2003 had a son on Saddam’s payroll for the Food for Oil scam.
Bri
Obama in his first national TV commerical actually stated that he voted for the bill to help Vets. Reality: He abstained. Obama is a habitual liar, I guess that is what when he talks about change. In reality Obama’s attitude is insulting on how dumb he thinks all Americans are when in reality only Obama supporters ignore reality and his past. But what do you expect from a limo liberal that went to private schools all his life and his gparents found over a half million to cover his Harvard years.
Flap
@ Bri
Didn’t Obama borrow the money to go to Harvard?
He is a liar though – many times over.
