"So generals generally do not get into making comments about fellow generals, for or against." You seem to be missing my point. Some Generals have been very pointed about not trusting Clark and no one has really come to his defense. It doesn't have to be a General. Over the last 10-15 years how many thousands of people have had direct professional and personal relations with Clark while they were both in the military. Of the thousands, how many might you think have returned to private life and gain a high level position of importance in the private sector. I would guess hundreds. But I haven't seen anyone of any notoriety standing up and praising Clark on how he was a great leader and changed their lives or inspired them, e.t.c. NO ONE?? Yes he is noted as being a smart and quick learner, was a top student. But where are all of his peers from his 30 plus years in the military? Very odd?

Some thoughts on the debate tonight... I fear Clark has been over coached. His debate performance (and sometimes his stump speeches) differ greatly from his incredible fluency during one on one interviews. It's like he's been brainwashed to speak in soundbites. I hate to say it but I think he did not do very well. The handlers and advisers should back off. Kerry did well - he looked presidential and had some compelling comments. Dean was uneven but redeemed himself a bit. Edwards had one brilliant moment when asked about process - he said we should be talking about the 35 million people living in poverty.
