Wes Clark was FIRED from his last miltary job at NATO. Is that the kind of “experience” that McCain needs?

I’m not supporting McCain, but Clark’s comments about McCain have me wanting to support him out of sheer spite.

Fairyqueen Weasley Clark the lunatic who almost kicked off WW3 and messed up the Balkans permanently. This guy could be a character from Dr Strangelove.

“And Hillary’s military experience is...?”

She spit at a soldier returning from Vietnam and she protested the war. Thats the “right kind of experience”!

Jon F’n Cary knows how. He was an admiral in the Cambodia Navy, I think.

I really don’t like McCain but he has the best experience on everything except or course cut and run plain out deserting like Kerry has shown. I really can say McCain has the guts for it but the rats scurry away at the first disturbing peep.

Hillary once claimed that she tried to sign up with the Marines, but that they rejected her because of her eyesight. Seriously, that is what she claimed.

Wes goes on to say:

If you look at what Hillary Clinton has done during her time as the First Lady of the United States, her travel to 80 countries, her representing the U.S. abroad, plus her years in the Senate, I think she's the most experienced and capable person in the race, not only for representing am abroad, but for dealing with the tough issues of national security.

Like traveling through Asia with your daughter for photo-ops is actual 'experience'. Moreover her Senate experience is barely more than Obama's, which is practically nil. Get real, Gen. Clark!

I love it when liberal lackeys give us reasons to support our less than perfect candidate.
