F*ck Wesley Clark. Doesn’t he have some Christians to bomb in the Balkans somewhere?

[Blood of Tyrants]

The Weaselly Cluck is even less qualified, yet he ran for president.

[Vaquero]

did Sh!t head Clarke also mention how McCain refused the release that could have been brokered because he was an Admirals son??

[Churchillspirit]

Beats me how one military man can try to trash the service of another - especially John McCain.

The dems. are backing a loser in this one.

[mkjessup]

Weasely Clark doesn’t even know the difference between a ‘fighter plane’ and an ‘attack plane’. McCain was piloting an A-4 Skyhawk, not a ‘fighter plane’.

For someone who thinks they’re a bloody genius, Clark is a phucking dumbazz.

[Names Ash Housewares]

This is really blowing up in his face.

He praised to high heaven John Effin.
Now he disses McCain?

Completely discredits himself.

What a joke.

Those silly North Vietnamese wasting precious ammo just to shoot down a joy-riding American.

[Smokin' Joe]

Wesley Clark - "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president."

As even civillians may be aware, McCain was part of an attack squadron, not flying fighters per se, but on bombing missions.

As I understand it, most air missions are boredom/anticipation punctuated with extremely dangerous moments.

When General Clark is carrier ops rated as a pilot I will consider him qualified to discuss McCain's piloting ability.

"riding in", indeed.

Take a powder, General.

[americanophile]

Not only that, but his actual statement: "Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president," attempts to denigrate and mask McCain's role as a pilot by suggesting he was "riding" in a plane, and getting shot down suggests that he somehow did something wrong. This is just disgusting.

[Judges Gone Wild]

Shut up, Wesley!

A big 10-4. Wesley (The Perfumed Prince) Clark is a political hack of the worst stripe. A pathetic groveling partisan. A servile suck ass supplicant of the Dalai Bama. Truly despicable. Grant would have stripped him of his stars and demoted him to buck private. Clark is just the type of martinet and political general that plagued Lincoln until he realised how competent and unpretentious Grant and Sherman were. Just you wait and see, Clark will soon be in that queue of sycophants volunteering to do Obama’s ablutions.

But just once, wouldn’t it be nice to have someone on our side with the verbal skills to respond appropriately to something like this? McCain came out with the typical, milque-toast response when he had the ball sitting on the tee for him. One well-worded firm rebuke could establish a sound bite that could last the length of this campaign, but like most of our other fine representatives, he brings a knife to a gun fight and goes soft. Blown opportunity. Obama is the most easily defeated Democrat candidate there has been for decades, but it’s still a crap shoot because our side is too scared to fight aggressively.

[WillVoteForFood]

This is an Obama tactic. Wesley Clark goes out and criticizes McCain, coincidentally prior to the next wondrous bit of speech making by Obama in which he speaks of not questioning others patriotism. Operative comes out on MSNBC and says Bollocks Obama does not share this view, even though Clark was sent out by the campaign to say what he said. Within the next day or two, Obama himself will offer a "heartfelt" comment of appreciation for the sacrifice and service of McCain, while stating that his own service should not be questioned.

He is seeking to inoculate himself against questions of his love for this country.

[Gumdrop]

McCain should have replied, “I am sad to hear such a comment coming from my opponent’s campaign for the Presidency. It speaks volumes for the immaturity and ignorance of the candidate whose surrogates are speaking such nonsense.”

[Red Steel]

Wesley Clark - "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president."

Hey Weasley! I don't think making command decisions to send tanks against Waco where women and children lived qualifies anyone to be VP or Secretary of Defense.

[ShandaLear]

Absolutely right. The entire thing was staged in advance so Obama could distance himself from the remarks. Clark is as dumb as a bag of hammers letting himself be used this way. He probably thought he’d get a spot on the Obama ticket, meanwhile he’s riding under the bus with Obama’s granny.

[GinaLolaB]

Wezley Clark is a hitlery clinton supporter. Maybe he said this about mccain to sabatoge nobama so hitlery can run in 4 years.

One of the most memorable and haunting pieces of film I ever saw was the USS Forestall Fire which John McCain was in the middle of and somehow survived. The footage was standard fire fighting training film when I was in the Navy, and it probably still is. Watching the film in its entirety, including the gruesome site of the corpses gave me nightmares then and now 31 years after I saw the film.
I was never a McCain fan, but I do give the guy allot of respect when it comes to his military service to the Country, and it goes far beyond the time he was a POW.

The weasel lunatic Ashley Wilkes dares criticize others?

General Sir Mike Jackson, K-For’s British commander told Clark during one of many heated exchanges:

“I’m not going to start the Third World War for you.”

A real piece of work this jerk.
