| Description | WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential hopeful Wesley Clark (search) uses his first campaign commercial to showcase his military service and press his case that he is the most qualified candidate to "clean up the mess in Iraq."
The retired Army general and political newcomer will become the sixth Democratic candidate to hit the airwaves when his 60-second television ad begins running Tuesday in New Hampshire.
The ad, titled "Liberate," is almost a combat resume. It uses black-and-white photographs of U.S. soldiers in combat and Clark in fatigues to highlight his leadership in Vietnam, when he took three bullets and won the Silver Star, and in Kosovo, when he lead NATO (search) as the supreme allied commander.
"Now, when we need a leader to clean up the mess in Iraq, he's the one who has done it," an announcer says.
The ad describes Clark as "a man who cares first about the people he leads" and someone who has a "quiet, real American courage." It bolsters his assertion that he is the most qualified to be commander in chief. |
