RCW: From the beginning President Obama said that he refused to be used a political talking point for Ahmadinejad. But after the President's statement supporting the protesters, Ahmadinejad responded by saying there is no difference between Obama and President Bush.

Even though he was receiving a lot of pressure to express his support for the protesters, do you think, by possibly allowing himself to become the foil, the President might have made a misstep?

Gen. Clark: Well no, I don't think he's made a misstep and I don't think he allowed himself to become a foil. I think from the time he gave his speech in Cairo that was warmly received in most of the Islamic world and throughout the Arab world, the Iranian hierarchy objected to it and found fault with President Obama and his statement. So this is just more of the same.
