Here is one take on his firing: "Clark was fired by Secretary of Defense William Cohen shortly after the war ended ­and, just to make sure Clark didn't try to make an end-run, the chiefs leaked the firing to the Washington Post. The reasons for his dismissal seem clear: Clark had pushed a policy that Cohen and the chiefs had opposed (and, even after the war, continued to oppose); he went around them in his advocacy; he was too close, for the chiefs' taste, to Clinton (in signing Clark's release papers, Clinton was led to believe the move was a normal succession, not a dismissal); and, toward the end of the war, he pushed for a ground-invasion option that none of the Pentagon's top officials supported in the slightest."

How interesting. Smartest man in the world, just like his wife.

you have the info about Clark’s firing in quotes. I assume that means it’s from another source. I’d be curious to know where that’s from, for reference.
