I didn’t pay much attention — except I noticed that his introduction was careful to note that he was shot four times in Vietnam. Not just shot, or shot three times, but four times. Clark has the misfortune of following a very talented speaker. It makes him seem like what he is: a general and TV commentator who shouldn’t be running for president. In both the introduction to Clark and in his remarks, it is noted that he saved hundreds of thousands of Kosovars. This makes me think that Democrats still have an interest in stopping genocidal civil wars, but there’s a crucial proviso that gets applause–without losing a single American. That proviso, of course, would rule out pretty much all other significant military engagements.
