What do people here think of the General?

In case you missed it he's running for President.

Here's a link to Wes Clark's website

http://www.clark04.com

According to the site, he was/is not an aviator; check out the
About Wes Clark section for his biography at http://clark04.com/about/

His stand on some aviation-related matters is summarized at
http://clark04.com/issues/airtranssecurity/ with references to
the av business from a security perspective - nothing regarding GA
specifically.

The maintenance side of airline ops are wide open. And the fact
that most cargo goes on unchecked is unfortunate too.

But the country will never be secure and so they will do those
things that are most visible to the masses.

BTW Clark seems like a very solid guy. Military guy with compassion
and sensibility and intelligence.

Really?

Which solid Clark do you mean? The one who testified twice before Congress
saying the invasion of Iraq was necessary and urgent or the one who says he was
consistently opposed to the war?

Is the compassionate Clark the one who said that he supports abortion ON
DEMAND, regardless of medical need, right up to the moment of birth?

Just want to be sure how you define solidity and compassion.

Or it could be the Clark that the most decorated US officer during the
Vietnam War thinks is pretty much a dick head. My words not his. Here are
his words.

Clark is a squirrel, according to more than one officer who served with
him.

I'd say his military record serves to discount your theory.

If you actually were familiar with the testimony you would not
have drawn that false conclusion.


Read it for yourself:

Should we take your word for it? Any one taking your word for anything
would have to have built up some immunities to your vitriol.
Let's see the facts.

The one that served our country in the military and was highly decorated
for that service. He won't have to rely on his Daddy to get him a job
that's for certain.

Yes, he's the one alright.

Sounds like someone that's a bit bitter, maybe because he never made the rank
of General.

The upper ranks of the military are at least as rife with politics as
the upper ranks of most large corporations--in other words, actual
talent and qualification is often not considered criteria for promotion.
