Let me repeat myself: Clarke's remarks are easily addressed without raising questions about his own military service.It is true that McCain's POW status does not qualify him for the Presidency.But no one ever claimed that he should be President because he was a POW.It has been said it was a heroic story and a testament to McCain's character. But he has not claimed that he ought to be President on the basis of his captivity during Vietnam. He has claimed his long tenure of service in war and in public office has qualified him for it. Clarke's remarks are a non sequitur.
