Sure, they call it an endorsement but it amounts to a request for a spot in her administration:
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton was endorsed Saturday by retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who sought the party’s nomination in 2004 and whose sterling military credentials could bolster her bid to be the first female commander in chief.
Notice too that Hillary continues to denounce the MoveOn ad:
But Clinton also sidestepped questions about a newspaper ad by the liberal group MoveOn.org that criticized the top military commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus. She has refused to condemn the ad, which referred to Petraeus as “General Betray-Us.”
“I have repeatedly not only expressed my strong admiration and support for our men and women in uniform but with respect to General Petraeus, I have also made my respect for him abundantly clear and I think that speaks for itself,” she said.
So if she respects them then why wasn’t the ad out of bounds? It is one thing to disagree with policy it is another to call it a betrayal. But Hillary doesn’t want to lose the faith of the far left in her party so she straddles and evades the issue. Typical.
