Retired Generals and Admirals Endorsing McCain
johnmccain.com | jdfromny

Posted on 10/12/2008 10:48:21 AM PDT by jdfromny

John McCain’s entire life has been devoted to the service of America. Throughout a long and distinguished career in the military and in Congress, he has repeatedly displayed the courage and integrity to place America’s interests first — regardless of personal cost. And he has demonstrated the experience and wisdom to lead America — and, importantly, our allies — in effectively dealing with complex and vitally important national security challenges around the world.

We unequivocally endorse him to continue his service to the country as the next President of the United States.

Two different generals both called Wes Clark. The one you’re referring to is a West Point grad and was in the army not the air force. Incidentally, it is difficult to find any West Point classmates of the Clinton favored General Wes Clark who like and respect him. Most of them don’t seem to.

I can’t wait to see the list that endorses Obama.

He might get Gen [Pantywaist] Weasley Clark. I think Weasley was bucking for a cabinet position a few months back.

There's one more: vainglorious Merrill McPeak, The sorriest Air Force Chief of Staff ever!!!

(He's even done some commercials for the One. I suppose he's worming his way to a cabinet post.)

Don't forget Gen Merrill McPeak (the worst Air Force Chief of Staff ever)is one of Obama’s campaign co-chairs.

Doesn't mean a thing. The Iraq war is yesterday's news in this election.
