Critical as the military has been of President Clinton's sense of propriety, their own faces should have been a little red when the army's Lt. Gen. Wesley Clark-director of strategy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff-had one of those heart-warming military-to-military exchanges with Serbian Gen. Ratko Mladic. That's the same Mladic who was nominated in 1992 by then-Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger as a prime candidate for a war-crimes trial for his vigorous "ethnic cleansing." According to State Department officials, Clark was asked twice to keep away from Mladic, but "he went anyway" according to the Washington Times (September 2, 1994). Clark's tête-à-tête with Mladic may be tame by Jane Fonda-visits-Hanoi standards, but, according to one U.S. official, "It's like cavorting with Hermann Goering." To further the embarrassment, a photo of Clark and Mladic, wearing each other's hats, appeared in several European newspapers (Washington Post, September 1, 1994).

And here's the picture, Hurtgen, to go with that little item you just posted. I suggest it be downloaded onto your hard drive, as it is from a foreign source and may disappear.

"Clark's tête-à-tête with Mladic may be tame by Jane Fonda-visits-Hanoi standards,.."' Not to defend Jane, but she was a private (if famous) citizen, while Clark was a high-ranking officer in the US Army.
