This guy is a nut. Reno you said he openly criticized the Pentagon for not finishing Kosovo. You are correct, but do you know what he wanted to do. First off the man is a careless, self-centered man who has made VERY few fiends along the way. He's been called a "know-it-all", a "nut", and as one Clinton official said in the late 90's "After talking to Clark for an hour, you had to take a Valium". Clark is to Grant as Bush is to Sherman. Clark just runs into a battle like a bayonet charge, while Bush demoralizes his opponent with relatively little human loss. Clark was relieved of his command in Kosovo because people thought he was crazy and wanted to jeopardize thousands of troops lives. His 10 week bombing campaign was working like a charm, however he got impatient and wanted to send in ground troops into the streets of Kosovo as well as Apache helicopters which would have been as sitting duck to the shoulder fired missliles that are so popular today. Clark also has a short fuse which I'm sure will be his big downfall. He has already been caught in two lies by reporters, and he doesn't take criticizim well. Obviously some of you anti-war people didn't do your homework on him when you said he sounds like a good candidate or that he would have done Afghanistan and Kosovo better. As long as you like great loss of human life, sure maybe he would have gotten that done for you.
