These links from UK newspapers (Not American media of course) detail Clark's nearly disasterous and reckless orders to attack or engage Russian troops during Kosovo. Only because the British General under Clark refused to obey the orders was a major incident with the Russians avoided. Clark demonstrated that despite what appear to be impressive credentials on paper, his judgement was seriously flawed.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/671495.stm I also notice that the News5 article doesn't delve at all into the circumstances of Clark's EARLY and GRUDGING retirement!
I have decided that News 5's coverage isn't worth watching. Consistently anti-Bush biased. Sometimes downright nauseating.
