Romney has no national security experience: Wesley Clark
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has no national security or foreign-policy experience and also has avoided giving details on how he would handle important foreign- policy issues, according to Gen. Wesley Clark, retired four-star general and former Supreme Allied Commander in Europe.
"[Romney] doesn't bring any real national security experience to the issues at hand. He doesn't have any foreign-policy experience. He has less foreign policy experience than Senator Obama had when he ran," said Clark, who launched his own unsuccessful run for president in 2004.
Clark also echoed comments by some conservative pundits criticizing the Romney campaign for avoiding detailing specific policies on major world issues, such as the wars in Afghanistan and Syria.
"Mr. Romney hasn't delivered answers to the critical questions, such as what we he actually do beyond the current actions to isolate and pressure Iran?" said Clark, who accused Romney of "throwing out a bunch of generalized charges and Cold War bromides that actually have no basis in reality."

(22,143 posts)Kerry really should have picked him for VP. Hell, he should have been top of the ticket. I wish the President would find a spot for him in the administration. Secretary of Defense would be perfect. State if Hillary steps down as she says she will. General Clark is a brilliant guy, excellent diplomat and very well liked around the world.
And, of course, he's dead on correct here.

I'd hoped for National Security Advisor, and have never understood why President Obama has not taken advantage of General Clark more. Maybe he has, sub rosa???
