After all the crap Clark got for promising no new attacks...
...why aren't people riled up about the military's promise that they will get Bin Laden in a year?

Unless, of course, you buy Buzzflash's theory that Bin Laden's already been caught.

1. I fail to see what this has to do with Clark
Would you like to explain?

2. The way I understand it...
Clark was irresponsible for making a promise that's impossible to keep. I don't see how the military saying they're "sure" to nab Bin Laden is any different.

3. Your remark still doesn't make sense. 1) Clark is retired and therefore
has no say over what the military does.

What has he got to do with Bush stashing Bin Laden?

4. It's got nothing to do with Clark...
...My comment had more to do with the media. Why is it wrong for Clark to promise something that can't be known, but not the military? Why is it irresponsible to say you will stop further attacks as president, but it's not irresponsible for the military to say Bin Laden will be captured? I always thought the criticism centered around making claims that can't be known for sure...

Obviously, I'm the only one who sees it this way.
