Wesley Clark Endorses Hillary Clinton Sep 15 11:02 AM US/Eastern By BETH FOUHY Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton was endorsed Saturday by Wesley Clark, the retired four-star general whose early criticism of the Iraq war fueled a high-profile but short-lived run for the party's nomination in 2004.

"Senator Clinton has the experience, good judgment and the battle tested character to face the challenges ahead," Clark told The Associated Press.

Clark, who joined the Democratic field four years ago largely due to an active online draft movement, planned to discuss his endorsement on a conference call with bloggers later Saturday.

A decorated career Army officer who graduated first in his class at West Point, Clark served as NATO's supreme allied commander and led the Operation Allied Force in the Kosovo war under President Clinton.

Clark received numerous military commendations throughout his 34-year career and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Clark's brief foray into presidential politics wasn't as successful.

He was a latecomer to the 2004 field. His military credentials and forceful criticism of President Bush's handling of the Iraq war propelled him to the top of polls for a time. But he stumbled on his first full day as a candidate, saying he "probably" would have voted for the congressional resolution authorizing the Iraq invasion. Questions about that statement dogged him for the rest of the campaign.

The illegal fund raising was a factor, but in the end it was her total disdain for the military that drove his decision to endorse Hilary.

With all due respect, this John Kerry supporter, Mr. Clark, must have gotten mighty soft in his old age. What a shame.

"Senator Clinton has the experience, good judgment and the battle tested character to face the challenges ahead," Clark told The Associated Press.

Throwing ashtrays at The Bent One does not qualify as battle; and it is first necessary to have (good) character before it can be tested.

Major barf alert. The only real experience this socialist power-mad hag has, is sucking up money from America’s enemies and thowing lamps at her satyr-maniac “husband”. Not to mention stealing the best silver from the White House and FBI files on all her Republican enemies.

Yes, real experience alright. An anti-American, anti-military Marxist — just what the American Republic needs for strength and a solid future. Right into hell.
