Gen. Wesley Clark On McCain's Presidential Qualifications

  Yesterday on Face the Nation, Gen. Clark had a few not so nice things to say about John McCain's war record not making McCain qualified to be the President of the United States.

  Said Gen. Clark:

"I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war," he added that these experiences in no way qualify McCain to be president in his view:
“He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee. And he has traveled all over the world. But he hasn't held executive responsibility. That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded — that wasn't a wartime squadron,” Clark said.
“I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.”

   Maybe McCain should just stick to his voting record in the Senate instead of relying on his war record to win the White House. Oh wait! I forgot that McCain's voting record mirrors George Bush's commands. Guess he can't run on that either.
