Gen. Wesley Clark, acting as a surrogate for Barack Obamas campaign, invoked John McCains military service against him in one of the more personal attacks on the Republican presidential nominee this election cycle. ADVERTISEMENT
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.

Wesley Clark, LOL!
What a pantload.
"No sooner are we told by Britain's top generals that the Russians played a crucial role in ending the West's war against Yugoslavia than we learn that if NATO's supreme commander, the American General Wesley Clark, had had his way, British paratroopers would have stormed Pristina airport, threatening to unleash the most frightening crisis with Moscow since the end of the Cold War."
"I'm not going to start the third world war for you," General Sir Mike Jackson, commander of the international KFOR peacekeeping force, is reported to have told Gen. Clark when he refused to accept an order to send assault troops to prevent Russian troops from taking over the airfield of Kosovo's provincial capital."
Weasely Clark, Merril McPeak, wow. Obama’s got the two biggest anti-American ex-flag officers right out in front. Why doesn’t he jusk make that Code Pink skank his VP.
Clark is just another slimy opportunist, and there have been waaaaaaay too many of his kind in the ranks during the past two decades.
"he hasn't held executive responsibility."
Oh, but Obama is the master of experience and executive responsibility?
What a joke the democrat party is.
What?
That’s what I love about this season’s Presidential Idol show - it’s pure and shameless descent into total bizzaro land.
Let’s recap.
The left that hates all things military hires a failed, cowardly x-military man as a spokes-moron to go after the one unassailable aspect of a light-weight opponent.
The only topper for this will be when McCain goes on camera and mugs: Well, my esteemed colleague is certainly entitled to his opinion!”
untested and untried—True statement but the pot calling the kettle black reaches the height of hypocrisy.
Enough from these former four star generals who no longer have a retinue of servants and sycophants around them now getting into politics in hopes of some appointment to a high level position.
These guys are willing to sell their souls to anyone who will get them back into a position of power, no matter what harm it causes to the country they once swore to protect.
They areworse than traitors.
Clark isn’t qualified to carry McCain’s jockstrap.
Yeah I am sure that if ANY conservative were to say that the drive-by media would be OK with that and Keith Oberman and Chrssy Matthews would go completely nuts but of course when the total fag like Wesley Clark says it its OK.
Weasley Clark is gay?
Is that the same Gen "Time Travel" Clark that almost started WWIII in the Balkans?
"That's why I am so outraged that the Republican party has systematically attacked the wartime service and patriotism of veterans who are running for office as Democrats. It is despicable -- the sign of a party more concerned about hanging onto power by any means possible than with giving veterans the respect they have earned."
Gen Wesley Clark (Ret) October 2006
I dont think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.
Well, being a community activist in Chicago like Obama certainly makes one qualified for POTUS.
Clark is an murdering idiot
