Gen. Clark Endorses Clinton

ABC News’ Kate Snow reports: Former Presidential Candidate General Wesley Clark added his name to the list of Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., fans today. 

On a conference call with reporters, the four-star general called Clinton a remarkable person with incredible experiences.  "She’s smart, does her homework," Clark offered.

He said Clinton would be a strong President.  "I think she’d be a great Commander in Chief for our men and women in uniform," the former NATO Commander added.

Clark’s endorsement is perhaps not that surprising.  After all, he reached top levels of the military during the administration of Bill Clinton, commanding forces in Kosovo and working as a military advisor in Bosnia.  He is from Arkansas and his 2004 failed presidential campaign featured many former Clinton administration staffers.

Though the campaign billed today’s announcement as a "major national endorsement" it was unclear exactly what Clark’s role will be.

"I haven’t considered anything like that," Clark said when asked exactly what he would do for the Clinton campaign.  "This is about trying to help the Democratic party and the American people make the right decision."

Senator Clinton said she was "very grateful" for Clark’s support and would be "pleased and honored to have General Clark play whatever role his demanding schedule and other commitments allow."

Clinton then went on to– as she put it– "pump up" Clark’s new book. Clark’s book hits bookstores on Monday. 

"I know how busy you’re going to be with your book tour," Clinton said "and I’m looking forward to getting a copy myself."

Clark promised that a copy was already in the mail.
