Title: General "Ashley Wilkes" Clark Speaks Out...
Post by: Tarheel on June 30, 2008, 05:05:42 PM
Against John McCain yet again.  I don't know if any of you folk caught this shit-ass, son-of-a-bitch this weekend on cBSs "Face Slay the Nation" but Clark needs to be bitch-slapped and flogged.  I'm not a big supporter of John McCain but he has a helluva lot more experience that B. Hussein Obama and Hillary combined!  What the fuck makes them more experienced than McCain!?  By even focusing on demeaning McCain's experience this idiot (Clark) is illustrating the gulf between McCain's experience and the experience (lack thereof) of his own candidate.

I'd like to see Clark, Obama, or Hillary even survive going through what McCain went through!  (Maybe Clark could...I don't want to demean his own military experience but his rhetoric is not only insulting to McCain but politically stupid for his own candidate.)

Here's the article from Townhall.com (as usual all emphasis is my own; I don't think that any further sub-text comments are needed by me, just read what this fucking lunatic says...):

Clark: McCain a hero, but lacks command experience
AP News
Monday, June 30, 2008

Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a former Democratic presidential candidate now supporting Barack Obama, said Sunday John McCain's military service does not automatically qualify him to be commander in chief.

Underscoring during a national television appearance a position he has been expressing for several weeks, Clark said performing heroic military service is not a substitute for gaining command experience.

"In the matters of national security policy making, it's a matter of understanding risk," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "It's a matter of gauging your opponents and it's a matter of being held accountable. John McCain's never done any of that in his official positions. I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war.

"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," Clark said. "That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded _ that wasn't a wartime squadron."

Moderator Bob Schieffer, who raised the issue by citing similar remarks Clark has made previously, noted that Obama hadn't had those experiences nor had he ridden in a fighter plane and been shot down. "Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president," Clark replied.

In a March conference call with reporters while he was still backing Hillary Rodham Clinton, Clark said: "Everybody admires John McCain's service as a fighter pilot, his courage as a prisoner of war. There's no issue there. He's a great man and an honorable man. But having served as a fighter pilot _ and I know my experience as a company commander in Vietnam _ that doesn't prepare you to be commander in chief in terms of dealing with the national strategic issues that are involved. It may give you a feeling for what the troops are going through in the process, but it doesn't give you the experience first hand of the national strategic issues."

He reiterated that position last week in an article on The Huffington Post Web site.

"If Barack Obama's campaign wants to question John McCain's military service, that's their right," McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said after Clark's appearance Sunday. "But let's please drop the pretense that Barack Obama stands for a new type of politics. The reality is he's proving to be a typical politician who is willing to say anything to get elected, including allowing his campaign surrogates to demean and attack John McCain's military service record."

Here's that piece of shit swapping hats with Serbian General Ratko Mladic (a convicted war criminal and piece of shit in his own right). Puts Wes right up there with a 3rd piece of shit, Senator John Kerry, as power hungry fucktards that should be hanged.

"I've known Wes for a long time. I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart. I'm not going to say whether I'm a Republican or a Democrat. I'll just say Wes won't get my vote." - Former JCS Chaiman and Auburn grad, General Hugh Shelton

Military service does not qualify you to be CIC, but NO military service at all somehow does?

What a dickhead.

Apparently that dickhead thinks that Obama's experience IS better than McCain's at being President of the United States.  Let's look at Obama's Senate experience...

Obama's 143 Days of Senate Experience

Posted by Cheri Jacobus

Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much.

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.

143 days -- I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.

In contrast, John McCain's 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi now seem more impressive than ever. At 71, John McCain may just be hitting his stride.

Clark should shut the fuck up...

I hate that General Clark has abandoned the values that he defended when he was a soldier.  I have no use for people who criticize a person for their service to the country for poltical gain.

Oh, hell, I hate politics and most politicians.  Clark should get a clue and stop being a puppet of the Democratic Party.  They ask him to say stuff and he is too stupid not to just keep his mouth shut.
