Hmmm . . .

I see that Wesley Clark is criticizing John McCain because he says that the Senator doesn't have any executive experience and that in wartime, he didn't command "a wartime squadron" or order "the bombs to fall."

One searches the news report in vain for any claims that Senator Clinton--who Clark initially supported--had executive experience, commanded "a wartime squadron" or was responsible for ordering "the bombs to fall." One searches in vain as well for similar observations concerning Senator Obama. Indeed, one cannot help but wonder why Wesley Clark would make the arguments he makes about Senator McCain, given that they apply with a hundred times more force--at least!--to Senator Obama.

If one were to ask the personnel of the US military to name their least favorite generals of modern history, Clark and Merill "Tony" McPeak would compete for top dishonors.  They are, of course, now both shilling for Obama.

Who's most likely to offer a job to Gen. Clark in a new administration: Obama (Clinton) or McCain? I'm sure that's the only job qualification that counts to the General.
