Here, Newsweek reports the actual damage; but, then again, that was before Clark had to be "presented" by the national media as a "national hero" and "tremendous general" of a "tremendously successful" air campaign.

Funny how Gulf War I and Gulf War II air campaigns were successful, but yet the Kosovo campaign was not.

Difference?

Clark did not understand strategic air power.

As Dr. Schlesinger, Former US Secretary of Defense, said, “Airpower is no longer ancillary to ground war, it too can destroy enemy ground forces.”

I'd add the caveat that this is true IF employed properly. In Kosovo it wasn't used properly and in a dis-jointed manner---and with a LEAKED ATO. (Leaking the ATO gives the bad guys the info they need to avoid attack.)

Clark is an idiot.
