— DrewM It's almost laughable that someone who is supporting Barack Obama would have the chutzpah to go after John McCain on experience and qualifications to be President but behold the modern day Democratic Party.
Clark said that McCain lacked the executive experience necessary to be president, calling him untested and untried on CBS Face the Nation. And in saying so, he took a few swipes at McCains military service....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 that wasn't a wartime squadron, Clark said.
I dont think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.
As Lex points out, that's not exactly the sum total of McCain's experience.
Also, "Spook86" at In From the Cold compares McCain's hostile attitude toward his captors to Clark's rather chummy behavior with Balkan murderers and concludes...
Say what you will about his "executive experience." At least John McCain knows how to handle himself in the presence of the enemy.
As the saying goes, read the whole thing.
Wasn't it just 4 years ago that Democrats were telling America only a military veteran like John Kerry (who served in Vietnam, in case you hadn't heard) was fit to serve as POTUS? Funny how one short election later that's been modified to 'serving' as a 'community organizer and 2/3 of a term in the Senate'.

2004: Only a veteran like Kerry can handle the responsibility of sending troops into a conflict
2008: I'm glad Hillary Clinton has never been "trained to kill".

This is going to be one of the Dem memes that we will hear from now till November (or from now till doomsday if McCain gets elected): McCain's military service doesn't amount to very much beyond geting shot down.
They probably figure it's poetic justice after the "swiftboating" of Kerry, but they've got a big problem-there aren't any photos of Kerry doing anything heroic (in contrast to lots of photos of him being a huge douche in the "winter soldier" hearings) whereas there are lots of photos of McCain bearing his captivity gracefully, coming home after his release, even one of him being captured in the lake in Hanoi where his parachute landed. Those images are powerful.
Bottom line-this line of attack is a loser for them. Better that they say that McCain has a history of heroic service to our country and then move on to other issues. This dog ain't going to hunt.

Wesley "Crusher" Clark is, well, let's just say it: a shameless cunt.
Attacks like his are based on the presumption of utter stupidity on the part of the electorate. Which is why they worry me so much, to be honest.

Why doesn't someone point out that Clark and his sound judgement almost started a war with Russia?
I'm going off of memory here (trust me, I'm not making this up but I don't feel like looking it up) but the story is that the Russians moved to take an airbase/airport over and Clark ordered a subordinate to attack them before they could move in. The subordinate, a brit, said something to the effect of, "I will not start World War 3 for you."

Rush got it right when he compared Clark to anoher favorite general of the Dems, George B. McClellan.

McCain landed jets on carriers. That- in and of itself- amounts to far more than Senator O has ever done and will ever do. Does that- by itself- qualify McCain for the Oval Office? No, of course not.
But it does mean he's got cojones.
McCain is not the man I wish was running but when the Dems deride him for "lack of experience" I can only snort contemptuously and wish they would share some of that smoke with me...
Posted by: Neffi at June 29, 2008 04:32 PM (3gnrK)
McCain knows who the enemy is.
And I hate to advocate for McClellan, but as a trainer and administrator he was second to none, really talented there, but not as a combat commender. Can Clark claim any talent in any necessary area of the army?

And actually, Bush 43 was a fighter pilot, so IF McCain gets elected, that would mean the three most recent Repub. presidents would all have been fighter pilots, two of which got shot down.

Where the f' did Obama have executive responsibility? Ever. The only thing I can think of in his entire career is a year as President of the Harvard Law Review and even that was honorary position (as opposed to the Editor in Chief who actually runs the thing).

Why does Wesley Clark get to make assinine comments like this and still get invited to be on TV? I always thought if the media didn't reward people for saying the most outrageous things then there would be fewer fools willing to open their mouths so quickly.
I don't care much for McCain but he had as stern a test of character as a man can be given while being held as a POW and he passed with flying colors. Obama and Clark have led pampered, pedestrian lives where everything has been handed to them in response to their just mouthing the right platitudes regardless of their sincerity. It is hard to take these people seriously.

Gen. Weaselly Fuck is nothing but an embarrassment. Remember the fuckhead was actually fired from his position as NATO Commander. "Integrity and character " issues was said to be the reason. With his comments about McCain, that's not surprising
He was, in general, a total fuck up from the start. One of the first things he did was to order the Brits to actually militarily interdict the Russian forces (OUR ALLIES!!!) at the airport in Kosovo because Weaselly thought he should operate from there.
The Brits realizing what a completely dumbfuck-headed move this would be and told him to go fuck his stupid fucking self.
...and this fucking fuck has the fucking nerve to criticize McCain??
Fuck him!!
Posted by: Saul Goode at June 29, 2008 05:51 PM (0XpI7)
Gen. Clark should know better than to say such things. They reveal his overall lack of judgement, taste, and dignity. Sen. McCain is not basing his presidential run on having "ridden in a fighter plane and getting shot down". He's spent a lifetime demonstrating his character, gaining knowledge about the world, and being a leader in Congress.
If Sen. John Kerry's military record was enough for the Dems to demand respect for it, then I think Sen. McCain's experiences in resisting his captors certainly warrants respect. Surviving torture for 5.5 years with his character intact trumps spending about 4 months in Vietnam and getting a few minor flesh wounds.

And did Clark support the candidate in 2004 who not only "rode in a boat" (they don't usually fall out of the sky, which is dangerous) but managed to wound himself in his own ass with his own shrapnel?
Finally, if the Dems *really* want a former military man to come out and trash McCain's military record, may I suggest John F'n Kerry. [Who promised only four years or so ago to release his entire military record to the public. I'm guessing McCain's record *is* public.]

However, just speaking for myself, FUCK Weaselly Clark very much! What an asshat!
I, too, an not much of a fan of McCain. But, I stand in awe of his behavior as a POW. The reason you get shot down is that you are where the action is. Normally, where difference is made. You are not flying a desk and ordering the secretaries around like Clark.
I believe that we know the character of both men. Clark does not shine in this comparison.

Drudge is teasing that the NYT is apparently about to commit treason.
The newspaper is planning to expose a 'highly classified Pentagon order' authorizing Special Operations forces to hunt al-Qaida leader in mountains of Pakistan...
No link to a story yet. I am sure al-Qaida and the Pakistani government are eagerly awaiting the Times to deliver this information to them. Though in reality, I'm guessing the Times delivers advanced copies of this type of stories to their many friends in the "terrorist community".

I said: 'Do you consider I have the authority to do so?' He said: 'Of course you do, you have transfer of authority'.''
But General Clark's plan was blocked by General Sir Mike Jackson, K-For's British commander.
"I'm not going to start the Third World War for you," he reportedly told General Clark during one heated exchange.
General Jackson tells the BBC: ''We were [looking at] a possibility....of confrontation with the Russian contingent which seemed to me probably not the right way to start off a relationship with Russians who were going to become part of my command.''

Look, Clark is playing the attack dog here, knowing that Obama may want to pick someone for veep associated with the Clintons to appease Hillary supporters.
While in normal people language he appears to be merely a retard criticizing McCain on his war record, in Obama camp language, what he is saying roughly translates into, "I can be mean. I can be your attack dog. Oooh, oooh. Pick me. Pick me. Pick me."

Neither candidate has great executive experience, but at least McCain has other experience.
That Clark would pursue such a politically stupid, self defeating line of attack explains why he tanked as a Presidential candidate himself.

37 Maetenloch, I tend to agree with you, but if McCain isn't qualified on that count, what about Obama?
Sorry - I was posting from my phone and had to go for bevity over details.
There's no question that McCain is more experienced than Obama. My complaint is that McCain himself doesn't really have that much real executive experience. The last time he was in charge of a large number of people was when he commanded a training squadron back in the 70's which was over 30 years ago. Since then he's only been on charge of a small group of staffers, and there are already signs that his campaign hasn't been able to scale well from being a minimal operation.

I'm not a fan of Presidential Candidate McCain, but he was a very "stand-up" guy during his half-decade forced vacation in North Vietnam.
Hearing Wesley Fucking Clark slam him for not being a very good soldier would be like listening to Trent Dilfer complain about how Steve Young and Phil Simms were overrated and didn't really stand out during their Super Bowl wins.

2004: Served in Vietnam (D) vs. Veteran (R) - Republican is a draft dodger and military service is the most important criterion to be President
2008: Messiah (D) vs. Veteran (R) - Service doesn't matter, by the way, all the veteran did was get himself shot down, not real service.

Good link, XBradTC. These creeps like Clark and McGovern and Rockefeller who mock this service really need to STFFU.
Politics aside, McCain had the chance to go back home with the Forrestal after having been in the middle of the fire and explosions, but instead volunteered to replenish the depleted squadrons of the Oriskany, and fly low level missions over a city surrounded by several rings of SAMs.
One third of the aviators from those A-4 squadrons were killed or captured that year.
But whatever--as the lefties say, he was just a bad a pilot, and deserved what he got, like all those other pilots that were shot down.

Earlier in the year in which LCDR McCain was shot down he was in the cockpit of his A4 Phantom when a Zuni rocket fired across the flight deck of the USS Forrestal. The rocket did not ignite, but it did rip one of the external fuel tanks off his aircraft's wing and started the worst aircraft carrier fire since WWII.
134 Sailors died in that fire.

Being a victim of something is no qualification to be a hero. Yeah, McCain was a POW, but that's not why he's a hero. He's a hero for showing extraordinary courage while a POW, for standing up against the monsters who tortured him and spitting in their eyes as much as he could, for being true and faithful to the Americans with him and to his country.

* In the matter of national security policy making. Barack Obama hasnt ever done anything.
* In the matter of gauging your opponents, Obama wants to meet with them without preconditions despite having no national-security, military, or diplomatic experience.
* Barack Obama hasnt been on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
* Barack Obama hasnt had any executive experience.
* Barack Obama hasnt commanded anything, in wartime or not.
* Barack Obama hasnt dealt with diplomats in any capacity at all.
* Barack Obama hasnt ordered the bombs to fall, although to be fair, he has associated himself with someone who has William Ayers.I have to agree with Ed, except on one point .. for some odd reason this is left off Obama's resume, but Barack Obama has had executive experience on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, where he served in one of the two major executive positions .. the other was filled by, his "neighbor," William Ayers.

I think that's the point of the attack, though. Everyone knows Obama lacks experience, and the Dems know this will become an issue in the general election. They're attempting to defuse it now by suggesting that the GOP candidate also lacks experience. If they can convince voters that both sides are deficient in this area, it becomes a non-issue.

I was pretty hard on Saul Goode on a previous thread for some rather unkind remarks about McCain. I suppose to be fair I should also complain about the insults to General Clark here. Well, I'm a hypocrite. Saul Goode can say anything about that fucking asshole Wes Clark and I won't say a word.
Why is my name constantly being brought up? WTF is going on with this new site?

I think you have me confused with someone else. While I disagree with McCain on a lot of things I have been one of his supporters on the site.
I have taken a ton of shit for it too.
As for Clark, he has always struck me as an oppurtunistic bastard, but so did Powell and Boorda.

chad-
Do you find it a tad odd that there are so many comments addressed to you?
Just wondering.

It gets better. After the Brits told him to kiss his ass, he tried to send in his Apache contingent to block the Russians' runway... and the colonel commanding his helicopters also refused.
When a colonel tells a multistar general to piss off, that general hgas zero command credibility.
But hey, since the Democrats have to pick between Clark and "I stole money from enlisted men" Zinni, they don't have a lot of pickings...

I had a couple encounters with Admiral Boorda and neither was exceptionally pleasent and not in the HM1 vs Admiral way but just in the I dont really care that your subordinates are getting screwed way

I should say in fairness that a lot of people really liked him, and I thought Hackworth did (or was doing) a hatchet job on him regarding those medals.

Alright you got me, but I don't think I reacted with outrage or started a flame war :-)
My browser cuts the page off right before that post and I didnt scroll down.

that squadron that he commanded was not a wartime squadron
This comment speaks volumes about what this SOB thinks of the unglamorous but vital work that goes into leading military units that aren't in battle--thanks, but your service isn't "real" service. I'll bet Clark's subordinates could tell stories...
