>>>>>...They are receiving encouragement, financial support and recruits from the Muslim world and particularly from Saudi Arabia. Destroying this network is the primary strategic challenge we face. <<<<<

As NATO supreme commander, Gen. Clark was in position to eradicate Al Qaida network in Europe, but he chose not to do so. To the contrary, he assisted Al Qaida allies in Bosnia and Kosovo and thus helped Al Qaida grow.

WITHOUT BOSNIA, THERE WOULD BE NO MOHAMMED ATTA's CELL IN GERMANY

pls. see this: P> "The skill level and organizational capabilities of those leading terrorist activities is demonstrated in the career of a 41-year-old German citizen of Syrian descent, Mohammed Haydar Zammar, an al-Qaida operative interviewed by Der Spiegel.

Gaining experience in guerrilla tactics in al-Qaida training camps, Zammar plied his deadly skills in what militant Islamic fundamentalists referr to as the "holy war" which raged in ethnically strife-torn Bosnia in the 1990s.

Afghanistan offered another theatre to Zammar for further honing his skills, so that, after returning to Germany, he commanded deep respect among Islamic youth considering involvement in militant activity. Zammar had already obtained German citizenship in 1982.

Zammar played a key role in the terrorist ring operating in Hamburg, Germany, acting as a recruiter, youth leader for al-Qaida, and liaison between operatives in a city known to be a hotbed of terrorist activity.

German investigators have learned that one of the individuals whom Zammar tied into the al-Qaida network was Mohammed Atta, the pilot of one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center. Zammar also brought two of Atta's lieutenants into the al-Qaida network, Ramzi Binalshibh and Said Bahaji."

Hopefully, the name of Gen. Clark will be added to the list in $1 trillion lawsuit against Al Qaida supporters.

Gen Wm. Clark ALLOWED the free passage and roaming of the Jihadians AFTER the entry of IFOR shooters. What does that tell you, when the Jihadians were ALLOWED to walk right up to the gates/fencing and take photographs of soldiers, equipment?
