General Clark was fired by Bill Clinton, but served the purposes of the anti-American Democrats in 2004 by having a General criticize the war. (The Copperheads were trying to re-create ’64, uh 1864 with their Gen. McClellan for the new age.) They ended up with Lt. Kerry, the war and anti-war hero.
But Clark’s point is ludicrous. Ordering bombings is the requirement to be Commander in Chief? Listening to the Diplomats come and ask “what about your reputation?” is a requirement for Commander in Chief? This doesn’t help Clark’s candidate, because it just reminds everyone, what a callow, shallow nimrod, Obama is.
Neither candidate has significant executive experience (We’re Screwed ’08 point #9). McCain at least has his family history, father and grandfather Admirals, his own military experience, his resistance to his captors, and his long service on the Armed Services Committee.
Barry has community organizing.
Gen. Clark is a profoundly unappealing person. He is so convinced of his own superiority, that he denigrates everyone, who doesn’t agree with him. It only took 2 weeks after announcing his candidacy for ’04 and he was sinking. This time, it took only one appearance on tv and he’s looking for a new job.
And it does raise the question of how this guy became a General and that usually leads back to Clinton and Clark’s Arkansas roots. But even Clinton fired this guy.
