A lot of the last military work I did was Balkans related and I spent almost half a year living there. Most military either don't support wesley, don't know who he is, or don't care who he is. You would be extremely hard pressed to find a military person that knew of him and had something good to say about him. Most military support for him is usually from the younger ranks that never even served while he was in and know nothing of his history.. Even the people that live there don't care much for him. He was basically a weak dud and definitely not the person that needed to be there..

BTW, supporting someone based on a TV show they're on would be like saying obama had any qualification to take on anything military related...

Funny... most military I knew in my arduous campaign overseas in the trenches of Okinawa or the DMZ in N. Chicago , didn't know much about anything in politics. So I guess life is but personal experiences; sometimes to easily confused and hastily generalized as fact.

I see you specialize in non-sequiturs as much as you do Political prowess. Tell me... who supports who based off a TV show. I'm dying to know!

You don't make any sense I'm afraid, but nobody ever said that you did.
No it wasn't. You equated his TV appearances as the basis of credibility. I am amused by your verbal gymnastics to get out of your original point however.

Prestigious tenure? That's a new one to me. His collegues in NATO might have something to say about that. The man isn't warrior, he was always a politician.

The only reason Clark is getting air time is because Obama thinks this tool is going to be an asset for his campaign and that's the only reason.

oprah is also on TV quite a bit and she's about as clueless about anything as they come...

BTW, looks likes obama had to toss poor wesley under the bus too... Obama disowns critique of McCain's military record - Road Runner
I will give him credit for throwing people away faster than any candidate in history..

If people Obama has known personally for decades turn out not to be who he thought they were, then its no surprise that Weasel didn't last long.

Obama's "disowning" was so weak that it was more of a shove into the street rather than being thrown under the bus......

Incorrect. Please try to keep up. You implied nobody cares what [Clark] thinks; I said people must, evident by his repeated returns to the news show. You see... there's this funny thing called ratings in the tv business. Ahh... nevermind. Please don't put words in my mouth in your futile effort to reshape the context of your silly retort.

Please do tell (and provide relevant and credible citations)

Hold on... writing notes. 'If someone is a politician (as many Admirals/Generals no doubt are), they can't be honored'. Thanks for your useful insight

I thought they record was bestowed onto McCain and his Evangelical (pray or go to hell) backers... You faux-conservatives are an amusing bunch. Imagine if you actually had a conservative with the GOP nomination this year.
