Clark endorses Clinton

General Wesley Clark, a retired four star general and the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO during the Kosovo War, has endorsed Senator Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. Having been involved with wars himself, he states that she is the best person to deal with the War in Iraq as well as new challenges that will undoubtedly rise in the coming years:

"Senator Hillary Clinton has earned the support of millions of Americans in her campaign for president -- and today I am pleased to count myself among them. The world has reached a critical point, and we need a leader in the White House with the courage, intelligence and humility to navigate through many troubling challenges to our security at home and abroad. I believe Senator Clinton is that leader, and I whole-heartedly endorse her for President of the United States. Senator Clinton and I share a worldview in which diplomacy is the best first-strike tool in our arsenal; in today's complicated global system, the United States should be making more friends than enemies. Never before have so many Americans had our well-being so closely tied to world events. Our economic and national security has become more complicated than ever before, and we deserve a leader who draws on wisdom, compassion, intelligence and moral courage -- in short, we need Hillary Clinton. She is tough but fair, a rock-solid leader equal to the many weighty challenges ahead of us."

This is a huge endorsement for Hillary Clinton. General Clark is highly respected by both parties and in military circles. Clark is an expert on foreign and military affairs and will strengthen the public's view of Hillary on those issues. It will be interesting to see if he campaigns for her, as that would be a huge asset for the Clinton campaign. There is already rumors on the internet about Clark serving as VP or in a cabinet position. That may be thinking a little too far ahead, but I'll for one be watching this situation very closely, as it should give a boost to the Clinton campaign.
