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.

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

Rather,

Funny how the media LABELS Clinton/Clinton/Clark's entire Kosovo campaign (initiation, setup, political, logistical, airware, ground (movement & occupation), and (lack of) withdrawal, and restoration) "successful and impressive"

.............

Yet labels W's Gulf War II as "an unsuccessful quamire" only months after its successful offensive.
