8. Clark's Role in Kosovo (MSNBC News)
   "A detailed examination of Clark's role in the war and his tenure as NATO's senior military officer from 1997 to 2000 shows that three of Clark's most prominent traits — his willingness to defy convention, his persistence and his occasionally grating self-confidence in matters small and large — not only influenced his advocacy of the war, but also helped alienate some of his superiors."
   
   "Clark supported bombing Yugoslavia in an effort to force Milosevic to relinquish control over the province of Kosovo..." but "...the predominant Army, Marine Corps and Air Force views were that such a war would be unwise without clearly articulated U.S. interests, and political backing for overwhelming force."
   
   "The frictions, stemming largely from a conviction that Clark had failed to respect his superiors' orders, culminated in 2000 with his dismissal by Cohen at a moment when he expected to be reappointed for another year."
   
   "Clark explains that he wore a second hat, little understood in Washington, as the top NATO officer as well as the top U.S. officer in Europe. In that role, he says, he had a responsibility to meet with members of Congress and senior officials outside the Pentagon to inform them about 'dangers looming in the Balkans,' including the risk of genocide such as that seen in Bosnia." 12-03
