John McCain's MIlitary Record

Can Democrats successfully attack John McCain's military record, as Barack Obama's campaign continues to make a mociery of Obama's lofty rhetoric--showing contnually that there is NO substance behind Obama's rhetoric.  I don't think Democrats can succeed on that level, when Obama was not even in tthe military.  But here is the "I can't make this stuff up" lead paragraph as to the ATTTEMPT by Obama surrogate, and truly squishy soft, former gerneal Wesley Clak:

"Gen. Wesley Clark, acting as a surrogate for Barack Obama’s campaign, invoked John McCain’s military service against him in one of the more personal attacks on the Republican presidential nominee this election cycle."

Clark's really despicable comment was that McCain was just a mere fighter pilot who managed to get shot down.  Clark, as far as I know, did not analyze Barack Obama's military record.  (sorry, there is somebody talking to me here, causing me to interrupt this entry.  I will put in quotes what I am saying to the OTHER person here:  "Huh.  You say that Obama has NO military record to criticize.  Isn't Clark treading on pretty dangerous ground then, if your are right?  Obama has alomst NO experience of ANY kind in either national, foreign or military affairs.  His experience BEFORE he started to campaign for President is just as an Illinois state legislator.  Uh-huh.  You say that is your point:  That Wesley Clark showed himself to be clueless when he ran for President as a Democrat, and is still showing himself as clueless as an advisor to Barack Obama?  Okay.  I can accept that.  But don't interrupt me anymore").

Still another example, I guess of Obama "bringing us together", I guess.  So much for Obama staying away from personal attacks.  Will Oama do what McCain has done with MORE JUSTIFIED attacks on Obama, and trash his ally (as McCain seems to ENJORY doing with conservatives--one of my many problems with him).?

Lest you misunderstand, I am NOT sure that Wesley Clark is really AGAINST McCain.   A man with a questionable military record, like Clark, can only HELP McCain with this kind of attempted smear.

Are leftists hypocrites of the intellectually dishonest kind?  Of course thery are.  Remember how unfair they thought it was to attack John Kerry's military record?  Sure you do, and to a degree it was, but there is no doubt that what they REALLY thought was unfair was that THEY were not doing it (as they did to President Bush's admittedly less impressive military record).

Absolute fact:  McCain's military record is better than that of Obama--as John Kerry's was better than that of President Bush, although Bush at least served in a BRANCH of the miilitary.
