Former US Army Gen. Wesley Clark had no patience with his ringing cellphone during a live TV interview on Iraq Wednesday — so he flung the offending device across the room.

“I’m glad we used diplomacy. I’m glad to see the Iraqi government being able to get its security forces engaged in this point.,” he said on CNN about the attack on the US Embassy in Baghdad the day before.

“But this is like by the Iranians — this is like landing a left jab in a 12-round boxing match. I mean, this is just one more punch. So they’ve taken out and attacked some Saudi oil facilities. They were put back in place,” Clark noted before the phone started ringing.

The former Allied NATO commander, 75, didn’t miss a beat, grabbing the phone and flinging it off camera while still staring straight ahead.

“Sorry about that,” Clark told host Jim Sciutto

“That is the best reaction to a ring I’ve seen on the air. Nicely done, General,” Sciutto replied, laughing, according to a video of the moment posted by Mediaite.

“Thank you. They caught it, too,” Clark said, referring to someone in the studio who snagged the phone.
