131. Calling Gen.Clark a clown

Reply to nationalize the fed (Reply #58)

Is a bit clownish and childish on your part. Plus, easy on the WWIII meme. Gen.Clark was and is not an ignoramus about what he was trying to achieve at the height of the Kosovo conflict. You and I will most probably agree to disagree on the actions, merits, methods, and conducts of Operation Allied Force but tone down on any contemptuous and dubious accusations against Gen.Clark's strategic operations on the Kosovo campaign. That charge stems from the hyperbolic and emotional reaction, out of frustration from a very exhausted british officer Lt.Gen.Mike Jackson.

In any case, the matter (Pristina incident) has been discussed here ad nauseum and ad infinitum ,that this will be my final response in reference to that incident. Plus, I do not want to hijack the overall theme of the discussion and veer off into another avenue where nobody wins. You believe what you believe and I believe what I believe and I rest at that.
