Clinton and Blair tried to turn NATO into the Fabian Socialist dream of an "Atlantic Union," with the aggressive intervention in the Serbian civil war in Kosovo. I fear that the Norwegians are a bit naive as to European power politics. They certainly do not understand such consummate evil as Clinton represents.
The idea of putting a draft dodger, who hates the military, in charge of a military alliance, would of course turn that alliance into a joke. But, again, I do not think that the Norwegians have a clue as to the Bill Clinton we all came to know so well.
