Wolfie now interviewing Former Supreme Allied Commander of Nato but it is

[Nashyra]

General Joolvan or something like that. What a blatant slap to Clark. I think it is a direct attempt to minimize Clark.

1. Maybe not Clark. Clark is a busy man these days he might not have been

able to get him or Wolfe could have wanted a different presepective. No way of knowing, but I don't think it's a slap.

2. Would interviewing Clinton be a slap to Carter?

Let's worry about something more important, ok?

3. I think it is important

because of the fact that the media did in fact try to minimize Clark in the primaries and I so happen to think that Clark would make an excellent vice President and would have made an excellent nominee. Considering that the war and the middle east, Iraq and Afghanistan are virtual hell holes, the fact that CNN could come up with a "General" with the identical credentials of Clark is troubling to me and important. I still think they are trying to minimize Clark. Your post was extremely rude considering I was only bringing something up that might have not been noticed by others. If you didn't think the post was important why not just leave it alone.

4. It's not meant to be rude, just a statement of fact

I just think that it's not a big deal. They don't have to interview Clark every time they interview a former commander of NATO.

I should have realized that you were sensitive about this issue since you brought it up in the first place & I probably should have left off my editorial comment.

The problem is, that's what I really think. -- it's not a slap to interview a different commander, just as it wouldn't be a slap to Carter to interview Clinton & there really are more important things to think about.

& the reason I didn't leave the post alone is because I think it's important to not overreact about insignificant things such as who CNN decided to interview today & I thought you were overreacting.

5. I brought it up because of the fact that

it was not only "a different" general, but the fact that he was also a retired "Nato" Supreme Allied Commander. I should have put the emphasis on the fact that CNN was being what I thought was blantantly partisan and thought that it was an attempt to minimize a potential vp selection. I should have worded it differently. I don't think I over reacted by posting an observation and I still think it is an attempt to minimize Clark's resume as a potential veep.

6. point taken

guess we just have a difference of opinion.
Now if CNN continues to do this over the next week or so and never consults with Clark, then I will agree with you.

7. Thanks for the debate

and I try to make my post's more subjective so that they do not appear to be overly sensitive about a particular candidate.
