Clark: McCain a hero, but lacks command experience

[dragonrider]

What would be worse than going after McCains age? That's right, his military record!

I agree. Leave Mccains war record out of this he cant win that way. I respect Mccain and what he gave for this country. His war record should be left alone.:rasta::rastasmoke:imp:

How do you guys see this as an attack on McCain's war record? I didn't see where Clark attacked McCain's war record at all. This is what he said about McCain's war record:

"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."

And this:

"Everybody admires John McCain's service as a fighter pilot, his courage as a prisoner of war. There's no issue there. He's a great man and an honorable man."

Sounds to me like he was praising McCain's war record but questioning how it qualified him to be President, which is a vaild question. I don't see this as a very strong point that Clark was raising, but it's definitely no attack on McCain's war record.

Maybe you saw something I didn't. What in that article did you see as an attack on McCain's war record?
