I don't blame McCain for playing the POW card.

It works so well.

I'm still pretty pissed that General Clark was trashed for daring to tell the truth about McCain...namely that although he deserves respect as would any other veteran, that his military service at the tactical level does not equate to national security expertise.

Wes Clark warned us from the beginning not to be distracted by a faux debate over the size and duration of a so-called surge because the key to long term stability and bringing our troops home from Iraq is and has always been what Wes called a "diplomatic surge".

There are two diaries on DK one is the top recommended one that quotes Obama saying he was not referring to what General Clark said about McCain in his speech and does not think General Clark owes Senator McCain an apology.

Wes Clark, Joe Lieberman's nemesis, followed Lieberman today on Face the Nation via satellite from Little Rock. General Clark did a great job on behalf of Barack Obama, which I'll get to in a moment.

I wish to thank Tom Rinaldo, Stan Davis and a few other Clarkies who have graciously re welcomed Clarkies who supported Barack Obama during the Democratic Primary. These Senator Clinton supporters have made an effort to be accomodating and even open to the possibility that Barack Obama may be a more worthy presidential candidate than they may have once thought. They are willing to consider the points made by Obama supporters and respond fairly.

I just read dengre's diary in his/her continuing expose of the Jack Abramoff scandal that seems to have permeated the Republican political machine, from the election process through the legislative process.

It's an ugly story of greed and corruption that has threatened our democracy and brought us to the edge of a financial/geopolitical/environmental cliff.
