General Clark said Sunday that he did not believe McCain's being shot down over Vietnam qualified him to be president, but he did not suggest McCain had exaggerated his heroism.

I believe this comment was to imply there are different types of leadership.

That this type does not have the sole experience to lead a country. By McCain own words said that he doesn’t no enough about economics.

If you where to focus this signal act as an ability to run & make polices for our country.

Than stepping back to look at the view in which this stands comes into play.
Linking to other comments made by McCain as to not willing to come to table on issues unless they agree to our terms.

Slamming Sen. Obama for wanting to talk to key players that force the only thing they understand.

There are some key things that the leadership in his role of being shot down and POW missed, not to say bravery comes into play.
In any battle where there needs to be ground taken. One has to look at the cost of taking that ground not only in funds & equipment but human life.

If these don’t out weigh the gains to reach that goal. Case in point the cost of this war the life’s & economic damage that has caused hardship on this country.

Compared to the gains to this country being safer. To include the rights & freedoms being rolled over.

Than other options should have been found. Strengthen our boarders; tighten controls of our shipping and mass transportation. Communication engaged just to name a few.

If indeed war is the last hope than a complete plan would have been nice in and out.
No if these comments had problem at all it was he had not explained them far enough for his words not to be twisted.

It would be nice if McCain’s words where looked at just as close that is if he would say the same thing twice on the same issue.

One also has to think why McCain wants Sen.Obama to cut Loose General Clark???
