Clark seemed to have skeletons in his closet. I supported him during the primaries, but I think he would have had a scandal or two in the general election which would have killed him.
Yeah, he had little things that would have hurt him. Like the time he ordered the British to start WWIII. That might have hurt him a bit.
World War III. Say what?!?
During the Serbian operation, Russian troops occupied the Pristina Airport. Clark, without orders, ordered the Britsh forces to take it from them, by force.
The UK Commander Gen. Michael Jackson (that name is an odd coincidence), refused, on the grounds that the government had to order an attack on non-combant foreign troops. Clark, enraged called Jackson's superiors in London. They backed up Jackson. Then Clark called the Pentagon, who
also supported Jackson. Soon after, Clark "retired."
While prehaps not starting WWIII, the action does reflect on Clark's judgment.
