Wesley Clark, like Barrack Hussein Obama, is a slick opportunist willing to say or do most anything to win high office and influence. Those familiar with the military or its history know that you do not ascend to flag rank without knowing which way the political winds are blowing; there are exceptions but these mostly prove the rule. Perhaps that’s why the late David Hackworth, one of America’s most decorated combat soldiers, was moved to call Clark a “perfumed prince;” a corrupt favor-seeker and bureaucrat in the halls of power.
Obama himself has no military or foreign policy experience, so he gets an attack dog to go after McCain instead. Does he really think voters are that gullible? Apparently so. Clark apparently doesn’t realize he is being used, or does not care – as long as President Obama remembers their quid pro quo if/when he gets elected.
Incidentally, military service – while valuable – is not a pre-requisite for serving as President, nor should it be. In this case, McCain’s service record indicates less about his executive skills than his character, which is far stronger, not to mention less corruptable, than either Obama or Clark’s will ever be.
