Gen. Wesley Clark on John McCain’s lack of policy-making and foreign policy leadership experience.

Clark says McCain has always been for the use of force, and more force, when a president should view force as a last resort. He complains that when McCain talks about throwing Russia out of the G8 or makes up ditties about bombing Iran, he “betrays a disrespect for the office of the presidency.”

Hat tip: J. Miller Rampanti.
