The general has a question: Where’s NATO? In all the debate over Afghanistan and Iraq, in Congress and at the U.N., there’s been very little talk about the alliance that was formed to protect and defend the U.S. and its European allies.
General Wesley Clark thinks that’s a big mistake. He was “Supreme Allied Commander Europe” for NATO. He led the air attacks on Kosovo, NATO’s first major combat. Today, as the House votes on whether to authorize the use of force against Iraq, General Wesley Clark is urging the U.S. not to go it alone.
In the past, he’s complained loudly and publicly about the problems of working within the NATO alliance. But, he says, it’s still the best way to win a war, and win the peace. General Wesley Clark.
