Reply #60: Gen. Hugh Shelton is the one that switfboated Wes Clark

[FrenchieCat]

and stabbed him in the back during the '04 primaries with a slur uttered once, and never repeated or elaborated on......(The media made a big deal out of it, tried to get others to inpugne Clark....but couldn't find anyother Swiftboaters of the General Rank.....and yes, Shelton is a Republican, but he did work for John Edwards during the Primaries)

Retired Gen. Hugh Shelton was asked if he would support retired Gen. Wesley Clark for president, Shelton, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, quickly took a drink of water. "That question makes me wish it were vodka," Shelton said. "I've known Wes for a long time. I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart. I'm not going to say whether I'm a Republican or a Democrat. I'll just say Wes won't get my vote."

During the General's testimony in The Hague, Milosevic used Shelton's quote smearing Clark's character and integrity to impugn the General's testimony. The prosecutor Carla de la Ponte called Shelton to confirm and to evaluate whether he should come to testify on Milosevic's behalf. Shelton backpedaled, saying it was 'just politics.'
