Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a former Democratic presidential candidate, seemed to be enjoying his chance to bash the Republican presidential candidates Monday, making fun of their national security views and spotlighting what he says are their flip-floppy stances.

Clark was joined in remarks by former Navy Secretary Richard Danzig and Ret. Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton at the National Press Club on the eve of the CNN Republican National Security Debate in Washington, D.C. It will be the last foreign policy-focused debate before the Iowa caucus in January.

In what seemed like a highlight reel of Clark's best jabs, the former supreme allied commander to NATO seemed to single out former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney the most with his references, but Clark didn't go so far as to call out the presidential hopefuls by name.

"One (candidate) praised President Obama's troop surge and concurred with the idea of later taking combat troops out of Afghanistan while criticizing setting a withdrawal date," Clark said of Romney's stance on Afghanistan. "Then he suggested U.S. troops should stay there. Then he said he'd like to see the troops come home as soon as possible."
