  • Wesley Rocks! Keep speaking truth to power General Clark! Never back down when you are completely in the right. Don't let them reduce the discussion to sound bites!

  • Exactly my feelings. I've yet to find anyone who can argue otherwise.

  • I give General Clark a lot of credit for refusing to back down. Let's be honest here. John McCain getting shot down in a fighter jet really means one of three things: 1. he was unlucky 2. he sucked as a pilot or 3. the Viet Cong were skillful gunners

    The incident does NOT mean he is uniquely qualified to be president.

  • I put out an add in need of an AC repairman. A guy shows up:

    "Hi, I served in Vietnam, got shot down, and spent several years in a POW camp."

    "Wow, that is really great," I reply. "Can I see your AC Repairman certificate?"

  • Wes Clark would make a great choice for Obama's V.P.

  • Exactly. All of this mock (or real) outrage is bull crap. Anyone with half a brain should know that by definition of the word qualification alone, Wes Clark is right. If being shot down in a fighter plane were a qualification, then we've had a lot of unqualified presidents. Especially before planes were invented.

  • Watch this clip at 03:35, Dan Abrams asks General Clark, you said "riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down effectively is not a qualification for president"

    General Clark responded "it's a great line, I didn't make it up, it was given to me by the interviewer".

  • That's Very True.

  • Hmm, Very Few People Actually Capitalize Every Word In Their Comment.

  • What The Hell Does Flying a Bomber Have To Do With Being President ?
