Notice the complete absence of any mention of Shelton's assertion that Clark was pulled from Europe due to issues of "integrity", and that he would not be voting for him. While I've never been a big fan of Shelton either, it is telling that he would state such a thing publicly.
Jed Babbin of the American Spectator Online, "Clark and his wife are good friends with the Clintons, but that didn't save him from being fired from the SACEUR -- Supreme Allied Commander, Europe job. Clark was fired not by the Clintons, but by then Defense Secretary Bill Cohen. Clark got cross-wise with Cohen for routinely going to Clinton around both Cohen and then-Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Hugh Shelton". And it also irked Bill Cohen that Clark was a media hound that couldn't stay away from the cameras.
Jack Kelly of the Washington Times: He is opportunistic and lacks integrity"... "After a Serb surrender had been negotiated with the help of the Russians, Gen. Clark ordered British Lt. Gen. Michael Jackson to parachute troops onto the airport at the Kosovar capital of Pristina, so NATO would hold it before Russian peacekeepers arrived. Gen. Jackson refused. 'I'm not going to start the Third World War for you,' he told Gen. Clark, according to accounts in British newspapers". Rumor has it that this incident weighed heavily in Bill Cohen's decision to fire Clark.
