Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a key military adviser for Barack Obama, dismissed John McCain’s war record as a qualification for readiness to be president.
Appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Clark downplayed the plane crash that led to McCain’s captivity during the Vietnam War, and said the squadron McCain commanded “wasn’t a wartime squadron.”
"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.
Let's add that up folks.
McCain: Squadron leader during Vietnam war, POW for 5 1/2, Senate Armed Services committee, traveled the world etc. etc., 25 years of service in the House and Senate.
Obama: Community Activist, Illinois state Senator for 6 years, Absentee US Congressman because he started running for President shortly after winning a senate seat.
Gee who would be more capable in foreign policy and military matters?
Anyway here is the detestable Wesley Clark on Face the Nation June 29, 2008:
