...seriously. I took the ASVAB in 1981 and they asked me if I wanted to be admiral. They didn't ask you? Huh.
No but the Army offered me General, I wanted to go in the Navy and they made me a Chief which is the same thing as an Army General so it was a wash.

Funny story time.
I was a newly minted Chief and I was sent to a meeting at Lockheed-Martin in Eagan MN for a new weapons system. Lockheed-Martin has contracts with all services and the Army was at a meeting next door. During a break an Army captain kept looking at me and finally on the 3rd break he came over and asked me "what are you" while he examined my collar devices to which I replied "a Navy Chief". he then asked "Well what is that exactly" and I said "a Chief :shrug: He said "No no, if you were in the Army what would you be?" to which I said "Probably a friggin General"

Why, in this political era, does a guy stand by his allegation even after attack after attack on him? How about because his story is true and he knows he's right? Wesley Clark was a general, and he knows that failing at an entry-level management job (which being a unit commander is) does not qualify you to be POTUS. I also imagine that given his position and background, Clark knows all about McCain's piss-poor conduct as a POW and he's just itching to make it all public knowledge. I hope the McCainiacs overplay this card just as they do every other card, and the more they deny and attack, the more the MSM will dig into McCain's sordid history. You all have such credibility... not!
As usual... you guys are so busy acting like Clintonites that you can't see the forest for the trees.
And who's rushing to McCain's defense? Why none other than professional McCain defender, lawyer, and business partner George "Bud" Day. As soon as this story broke, there was Bud giving input to the media about what a fantastic guy McCain is... just like he has every other time McCain is attacked on his record. McCain was released with what... 500+ other POWs, and no one but Bud ever comes to his defense??? And how about all his fellow sailors who monitored his captivity from DC... oh wait... these were the same guys who denied McCain his automatic promotion while a POW. Other POWs were automatically promoted when their time came, but the Navy declined to promote McCain. Hmmm... he went in a LCDR and should have come out a captain... instead he came out a LCDR. Hmmmm. So I wonder what's going to happen when the dam breaks and all the facts come out, and Bud Day is still the only guy rushing to McCain's defense?
And how funny is it that McCain has become the 9/11 Widows club for men? He is wrapping himself in the infallibility shield and anyone who dares to challenge him on what he says is attacked. "How dare you question McCain's accounting? He was in the Navy! He was a POW! He's a war hero!" Ann Coulter sure denounced the whole infallibility defense when the Democrats did it, but now that Republicans are doing it... it's okay!
The only thing I find funnier is watching you guys contort yourself to try to make the case that since McCain was an officer and served in combat that he must be believed, but a guy who was all that and accomplished much, much, more, Clark, is just a liar, a Clinton synchophant, should be silenced, etc. If being an officer, commanding officer, and decorated veteran means you must be believed, yet you discount everything Clark says, then the determining factor isn't is you're an officer, commanding officer, and decorated veteran, it's just if you're a Republican or Democrat.
You must stop talking. Obama has refuted you and Wesley.As usual... you guys are so busy acting like Clintonites that you can't see the forest for the trees.

Saddam Hussein attacked us on 9-11?
You righties never cease to amaze me. Even George Bush says Saddam Hussein didn't attack us on 9-11.
I bring up the fact that the war in Afghanistan is going worse now than ever, and that we still haven't caught the people who attacked us on 9-11 and you send me the IWR.
Effing incredible.

Yes, yes I am.
Yes, yes I am.
I spoke about 9-11 and the fact that al-Qaida is, according to intelligence reports from the region, as strong as ever. Bann refuted me by posting the IRAQ War Resolution.
Even Bushie has said Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11.
Saddam sucked, yes. He was a horrible human being, and he deserves his own special place in hell. But, it's not our role to play God. We shoud be on the offensive against those who attacked us, not against those who were minding their own damn business for five, ten years.
I can definently see the maturity of your grown self in that post.
