Clark on Morning Joe
Following up his appearance the previous night, Clark was on Morning Joe.
He backed Obama up on the following points:
- The commander in chief takes the advice of his regional commanders but may not always be able to give them what they want because he has other theaters to consider
- Afghanistan is the top security priority right now, and requires both military and economic solutions
- It is critical to talk with Iran
- The surge is only part of the story of the improved situation in Iraq
He also gave some strategic advice about Pakistan and Afghanistan and attempted to set the record straight on the history of the surge (when Joe would let him speak instead of parroting McCain talking points endlessly).
Another superb performance by Clark.
