General Wesley Clark takes on Mclame's foreign policy creds..

[BREMPRO]

-In a wide-ranging interview with The Huffington Post, Clark offered opinions on the current state of American foreign policy, the Democrats' emergence as a more "full-service" party on security issues, and -- lest anyone doubt his potential use as a running mate for Obama -- the shortcomings of Sen. John McCain.

"I know he's trying to get traction by seeking to play to what he thinks is his strong suit of national security," Clark said of McCain while speaking from his office in Little Rock, Arkansas. "The truth is that, in national security terms, he's largely untested and untried. He's never been responsible for policy formulation. He's never had leadership in a crisis, or in anything larger than his own element on an aircraft carrier or his own congressional staff. It's not clear that this is going to be the strong suit that he thinks it is."

Resume aside, though, Clark also took issue with the Arizona Republican's instincts on national security. "McCain's weakness is that he's always been for the use of force, force and more force. In my experience, the only time to use force is as a last resort. ... When he talks about throwing Russia out of the G8 and makes ditties about bombing Iran, he betrays a disrespect for the office of the presidency."

I can't express with words how happy I am to have General Clark no longer attached to the Hillary machine.

6. My #1 pick for VP. He brings the full-meal deal

to complement Obama:

1. Extensive military & foreign relations experience


2. Very smart


3. Eloquent speaker


4. A white, macho male from the South (this is hugh!1!1!!) Can grab the Bubba vote.


5. Can bring the Clinton vote over to Obama (50+ women think he's HOT! This one does!!! ;))


6. No political dirty laundry (i.e. lobbyists, corporate cow-towing, voting record to examine)


7. He can clean the clock of the likes of Huckabee, Lierman, or the other dishrags that McSame is considering for VP in a debate

Vice-President Clark has a nice ring to it.

Obama/Clark......I can dance to it. :party:

8. Clark would be my very first choice for VP.

I have occasionally posted a lengthy explanation of why.
