Military service: A diminished campaign asset?
For McCain, getting shot down and enduring as a POW has been a political asset. Now Clark was suggesting that the "getting shot down" part was an irrelevant — at least as far as being a credential for the White House.

3 Obama has done absolutely nothing for the United States of America. Even now, his main focus is on increasing aid to foreign countries. Clark is using the same old Obama planned and executed method of attack:(1) Use supporters to stab the competition in the back (2) Play innocent and dumb. |

1 As I posted on a nearly identical thread Wes Clark is citing about 5% of McCains career treating it like is a 100% of his mil. and pol. experience. Somebody ought to resurrect Gen. Hugh Shelton's quote over why he fired Wes Clark. |

1 What does Wes Clark know? Every single one of his military achievements were through appointment and committee. He never served with the valor of those in combat. He got first dibs on the food and booze at that little party NATO threw in the Balkans ten years back. It bothers me to think that he even made news with his ridiculous statements, seeing as he is equal in relevance to Al Sharpton. Aside from that, we must speak the truth. Enlisted men or NCO's have never become presidents. That's the domain of ring knockers and the like. It's cute that you got to run some papers at some naval base a thousand miles away from combat. What does that mean? We shouldn't be surprised that military service means squat to the American electorate. It never really has. Furthermore, in the old days, you were drafted. Nowadays, how many voters out there served in the military? You don't need the GI Bill to go to college anymore. The voters of today cannot relate. Vietnam is a paragraph or two in the old high school history textbook to people under 60. We've too many problems here domestically that supercede familiarity with the military anyway. The issue is stagflation and the loss of confidence with the American system altogether. If McCain is to win, he should appeal to viable solutions to our current fiscal and monetary predicament. He must distance himself from the past eight years. He must radiate more confidence in the American people than he has done thus far. He must work to unite and heal old wounds as opposed to playing the Rovean way, as it is precisely what the American people are tired of. Most importantly, he cannot make the mistake of "100 Years" ever again. Harry Balz Command Sergeant Major, USA (ret.) |

3 NATO had all but won the war in Kosovo when General Clark, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander almost caused an international incident with the Russians. The Russians had helped negotiate the Serbian withdraw from Kosovo. The Russians wanted to participate in the police action in Kosovo, they wanted their own section to police in Kosovo. When NATO refused to give the Russians their own section, they became "Pissed Off" and decide to take control of the airport; it was just a political tantrum. General Clark almost turned this minor incident into World War III. He ordered the British and French in the NATO K-For (NATO's Kosovo Force) to take the airport ahead of the Russians and keep them from taking the airport. NATO's head of K-Force, British Lieutenant-general Sir Michael Jackson, refused to enter into a possible armed conflict with the Russians over a meaningless issue. When Lieutenant-general Sir Michael Jackson of K-For refused an order to block the runways, General Clark ordered US Admiral James Ellis, the Head of NATO Southern Command to land helicopters on the runways to prevent giant Russian Ilyushin transport from coming in; US Admiral Ellis also refused his order. General Clark was replaced three months early from his tour of duty as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander. You should read the British paper on General Sir Michael Jackson's account of the Pristina airfield debacle by General Clark. He must have been really been pissed off by General Clark, in the article he called General Clark by his derogatory nickname the "Perfumed Prince". A "Perfumed Prince" is a guy who got promoted doing staff work and not by doing the smelly and dirty work in the mud and guts in battle.

2 Not Obama's anti-American, racist, hate spewing, brain washing Trinity Church of 20 years. A "church" led by Obama's pastor and mentor the honorable butt spewing Rev. Jeremiah Wright pal of the honorable butt spewing Louis Farrakhan....despicable. It's no wonder black punks on these forums spew the same demented anti-American, hate your country, blame whitey crap. That is a path which heads directly to jail, a morgue or nowhere...Trace it all back to leadership that is anything but Bill Crosby, Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, JC Watts, Thomas Sowell, Condi Rice, Linn Swan et al. America...Love It Or Leave It. |

2 What a stupid thing to say when you are running for office and the economy stupid is the biggest issue (along with the war) that voters care about in this election. McCain obviously needs a better speechwriter? |

2 No comparison. We are talking about the family and friends of one man here, Obama, not the entire Democratic Party. If you want to make comparisons of the two parties in general, the list would be endless on both sides. After all, we are talking about the political arena which is all about power and corruption. Obama's campaign has been a good example of both. |

2 It's sad that the party has moved so far left that it actually hopes for bad news from Iraq and Afghanistan just in hopes of advancing itself politically. |

1 Of course prior events in life are most useful as a judge of character, not job task qualifications, which is why Clark's remarks were especially despicable. McCain, enduring living hell in a POW prison and subjected to non-stop mental and physical torture gave up a chance at repatriation out of sense of duty to fellow prisoners. The Marxist Dems are creatures from the lowest pits of hell for treating honor and sacrifice in this manner. |

1 Absolutely right!!! John McCain, in his early twenties, was serving his country with honor. While Barrack Hussein Obama, in his early twenties, was smoking dope and snorting cocaine! This presidential election should be a no-brainer. Besides, I'm very surprised Obama even has any brain cells left. |

1 My Standard bearer is Sen. Daniel Inouye of my home state of Hawaii a Democrat and war hero. And I don't know what you are talking about wishing for the war to go bad, I never heard any democrat say anything like that but I have heard republicans and their supporters say they wish for Americans to die in a terror attack to futher their polictical agenda. |

Look no farther than harry reid, nancy pelosi, or dick turbin durbin. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/... http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/0... House Speaker Nancy Pelosi undermined U.S. foreign policy with her unauthorized trip to Syria to meet with that country's president, Bashar al-Assad -- a known supporter of terrorism, including the insurgency in Iraq. She did so against the wishes of the White House and Departments of State and Defense. She did so possibly in violation of the Logan Act, which affirms the Constitutional directive that matters of foreign policy reside solely with the Executive Branch. Madam Pelosi is now pondering a "diplomatic trip" to Iran. Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid publicly declared, "This war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything." As if bolstering the will of America's enemies and deflating the morale of U.S. troops weren't enough, Reid followed up his comment by stating that he wouldn't believe General David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, if he said things were improving there. Perhaps the Democrat leader needs to be reminded that he was one of 81 Senators to vote in favor of General Petraeus' confirmation back in January (not one Senator voted against his confirmation). Oh yeah, Reid also voted to authorize the war. Indeed, their strategy was summed up by Harry Reid himself when he declared in an interview this week, "We are going to pick up Senate seats as a result of this war." Taking the matter even further was Senator Inhofe, who called for Reid's recall. Responding to a question on "Bill Bennett's Morning in America" radio show regarding whether the Majority Leader should resign, Inhofe responded, "I think it's more serious than that. I think there should be a recall... for saying something as un-American as that." Senator Inhofe added, "But it would have to emanate from the people... I can't imagine that something isn't going to happen." |

I don't see anything in your post that says that the Democrats said that they want the war to go bad, I see alot of specualation but nothing to the level of Mr. Black's comment on terror attacks and others that are documented of them saying that it would be helpful if America was attacked by terrorist. I can see Reid's comment as wrong but other than that I don't see any statement by the democrats that said that they desire the war to go badly. |
