The General on the Ground

Since we always listen to the "generals on the ground" -- and give them the first option of withdrawal or carpet bombing -- we should listen to Wes Clark. You see, folks, Wes Clark is a general. And I'm not going to sit here and allow no one no how to be a'bad-mouthin' this here general!

If Wes Clark says, "John McCain is running his campaign on his experience and how his experience would benefit him and our nation as President. That experience shows courage and commitment to our country - but it doesn't include executive experience wrestling with national policy or go-to-war decisions. And in this area his judgment has been flawed - he not only supported going into a war we didn't have to fight in Iraq, but has time and again undervalued other, non-military elements of national power that must be used effectively to protect America But as an American and former military officer I will not back down if I believe someone doesn't have sound judgment when it comes to our nation's most critical issues," that's good enough for me.

Now be careful what you say. Because anyone who says anything against Wes Clark is criticizing a general. And if there's anything we should know from the last eight years, it is that generals cannot be criticized.
