First of all, one of his most attractive qualities is his military experience. . .it would seem that he, along with John Kerry, could ease the belief, right or wrong, that the Democratic party is incapable of handling foreign policy. . .however, with statements such as the first one listed above, I don't think that quality can be attributed to him any longer. . .his justification for the justness of the Kosovo war is absurdly tenuous and in fact, as Sullivan notes, the Security Council had voted 15-0 in favor of enforcing the resolutions against Iraq while the Kosovo war had no such backing. . .

Concerning the second link above, another quality that I would think draws people to Clark is that because of his military experience, he would understand why we fight when we do. . .he should understand better than others why it's admirable that we defend the rights of those we find disgusting. . .however, by pandering to a group of veterans while supporting a limitation of free speech, I believe he loses that credibility as well. . .Ady Barkan states this more eloquently than I do. . .

For me, what his statements say is that he's not worthy of holding any public office, much less the highest one in the land. . .I'm still hoping that Kerry can emerge from the pack to challenge Dean and Gephardt. . .as noted here, he seems to be a man of honor and one worthy of a closer look. . .
