Gen. Clark: Giuliani "has no relevant experiance that's in any way useful to be commander-in-chief"

For a man intent on moving into the White House, Rudy Giuliani carries a lot of baggage - but it's his draft-dodging past that may prove the biggest drag in the campaign, prominent veterans tell New York magazine in tomorrow's issue.

Speaking about terrorism and the Iraq war last week, Giuliani boasted, "It is something I understand better than anyone else running for president."

But it was draft deferments that kept Giuliani, 62, out of Vietnam while he attended law school.

"Giuliani gets a zero-zero," added Gen. Wesley Clark, an adviser to the group. "He wasn't willing to risk his life for his country, and he has no relevant experience that's in any way useful to be commander-in-chief. He hosted the U.N. and had a large police force."

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Clarke is, of course, a vocal Democrat, but this professional opinion as a military leader is valuable in any case.
