52. You are mixing what some Clark supporters believe with what Clark believes.....
which is producing an opinion based on misleading information.

Please keep in mind that Clark and his supporters are not interchangeable.
Wes Clark never said that he would only support a candidate who didn't vote for the IWR; although some of his supporters have said this.

So Questioning Clark's motives of his endorsement based on what some of his supporters have said isn't rational.

Further, not all IWR votes are exactly the same......something that I personally maintain. There is a difference between co-sponsoring, advocating for, and cheerleading the Blank check and simply voting for it without the exclamation point.

Clark obviously believes that Clinton is the best person for the office, or he wouldn't have endorsed her. He has always maintained that during times of war, the candidate should have foreign policy experience....and on CNN he spoke of Hillary going over to Kosovo and her being there at some of the high level meetings. He believes that the fact that her other half held the office for eight years, means that she has a team ready to go when she gets in.

It makes sense to me as to why Clark endorsed Hillary (besides the fact that they go back a way and have roots in the same state)......

Although that doesn't mean that I'm endorsing Hillary Clinton due to his own choice.

In other words, your post didn't make your case on questioning Clark's reasons for doing what he did.
