Don't you people who are defending Clark know what he has done?

Wesley Clark lead the attack on Waco and ordered the slaughter of many American men, women and even children. He is a Clinton crony and that is why he was running for POTUS in 04.

Men like this have NO right to disgrace or downplay the service of a man who went into a Democrat spun war and almost died for our country. He could have been released but instead decided to stay behind, because he would have to publicly denounce his country and the war on tv. He is accused of being a traitor, because he was broken ONE time, when he was given an option between being hung on the rack and tortured or being given good food after being starved for a very long time. Give him a break! I'd love to see which one of you wouldn't do that if you were starving.

I don't care what your party affiliation is, you know attacking him for this is wrong and UNpatriotic.

God Bless McCain and God Bless those who keep themselves above this type of thing.

The only thing Clark said was that being a prisoner of war did not qualify one for POTUS, even though McCain was a patriot and to be admired for his service. That is not an "attack", simply a true statement.

No one challenged McCain's patriotism, so calm down. All that flag waving is sure to make you tired and grumpy.

Tina,

When you grow up you will understand that just because Limbaugh, Hannidy and O'Rilley say something does not make it fact.

Gen Clark is a Patriot. Senator McCain is a Patriot.

Gen Clark did not, in any way, belittle Senator McCain.

General Clark has been Swift Boated by the right wing radio and media gurus.

The same individuals who state that Clark criticised McCain are the ones that got the US into this God forsakden unwinnable war. They are the ones who "proved" that Saddam had WMD, nuclear weapons, mobile biological labs, missles that could hit the US and it allies and on and on.

Nonsense.

"The only thing Clark said was that being a prisoner of war did not qualify one for POTUS,"

Well, OK then, let's say it was a simple innocuous observation. What a TOTALLY STUPID thing to say. Riddle me this...what ONE thing does qualify a person to be president???

Of course, there isn't ONE, which makes Clark's pathetic statement all the more aggregious!

BTW, what on earth qualifies Obama? You could list a dozen things and still be waiting for something of import.

"General Clark has been Swift Boated by the right wing radio and media gurus."

Does it strike any of you left-wingers as ODD that all the derogatory sayings that take on an eternal shelf-life are based on a NEGATIVE concept of Conservatives?

ie McCarthyism, swift boated, a jillion "gates" based on watergate, countless others. That alone speaks to the one-sidedness and power of mainstream media!

Gen Clark might want to tell us how as NATO commander he got away with bombing the Chinese Embassy. <link> Maybe if he comes clean on his and Bill Clinton's war crime I might take something that comes out of his mouth seriously.

Or it could have something to do with the fact that the genesis of the term is derived from the negative actions that those organizations/events employed. But, right it's the liberals.

And wtf is wrong with criticizing McCain's military experience. Obama's gotta give a speech to reassure (stupid) people that he's a patriot, even though he's running for president.

Oh, yeah, I'm SURE it's simply bnecause only Conservatives do anything worthy of eternal mockery. Kinda like Dan Quayle and "potatoe." FAR more memorable and significant than Obama and the reverend.

Gosh it's funny when one of you wingnuts comes charging in here with absolutely no factual support to your crazy assed assertions.

Clark did not lead the attack at Waco.

He didn't order the slaughter of anyone. That was Koresh's doing.

General Clark did not accuse McSame of being a traitor or anything like it. He simply stated that McSame's service in Vietnam does not, by itself, demonstrate that he is Presidential material. Any more than Clark's, or Kerry's, or many others.

Please step away from the keyboard and do some reading before posting.

Yeah, and it's not like Corporate Media for the last 30 years hasn't made "liberal" out to be a crime.

And terms like "blue dress" or "the meaning of is, is" have not been made part of the lexicon. I'm sure I could find more than a few more badges like McCarthyism and SwiftBoating with Democratic pedigrees.

The paranoia and self-absorption of the right always amuses me.

And that's what Clark was saying. Too many in McSame's camp have trumpeted his service in 'Nam as proof he could be Commander in Chief. Apparently you agree with Clark that it doesn't, yet are so offended that you agree with a Democrat that you can't admit it.

The bombing of the embassy was in a war. It was an accident caused by poor intelligence, not because the commanding general ordered the attack. The stupidity of the Chinese is evident. Why maintain an embassy in a city that is under air attack? They abandoned their embassy in Baghdad during desert storm, they decided to take a chance. In my opinion.....tough luck.

Clark did not attack McCain. You did attack Clark. You have shown an incredible disrepect for an honorable man who has done nothing but serve his country.

Clark did not disgrace or downplay McCain's service. Please cite any evidence to support your allegation.....or apologize for your slander.

Wow!

That comparison is hilarious! Obama must prove he's a patriot, because he won't even give proper salutation to our flag and wants to change our national anthem. McCain is a war hero- nothing to prove.

Wesley Clark is a war criminal and I haven't seen Yugoslavia mentioned. Why not?

Maybe the liberal glasses colored in rose, which you have rested upon your nose?

Ben,

You are awesome!

Much more knowledgable than the lefties here dealing with their eternal blinders.

God Bless!
