Wes Clark blasts McCain on military experience

General Wesley Clark on Face the Nation June 29, 2008

Retired general Wesley Clark in Little Rock, AR tells Bob Schieffer that although John McCain has experience in the military, he lacks the diplomacy and strategy of Barack Obama

some Clark jewels:

Well, I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president

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. And he has traveled all over the world. But he hasn’t held executive responsibility

He hasn’t been there and ordered the bombs to fall. He hasn’t seen what it’s like when diplomats come in and say, I don’t know whether we’re going to be able to get this point through or not
