QUESTIONS FOR WESLEY CLARK By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid October 10, 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Wesley Clark served as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe for three years. He was in overall command of NATO’s military forces in Europe and led approximately 75,000 troops from 37 NATO and other nations participating in ongoing operations in Bosnia and Kosovo. In 1999, Clark commanded the alliance’s military response to the Kosovo crisis – Operation Allied Force. He now works for the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The Center’s biography of the general neglects one important fact: as NATO commander, implementing Clinton’s war on Yugoslavia, Clark worked directly with the Kosovo Liberation Army, the KLA, some of whose fighters were trained by international terrorist Osama bin Laden. Clark has now been hired as a military expert on CNN and a columnist for Time magazine. In a Time magazine column, entitled, "How to Fight the New War," Clark says we need new tactics and strategies against terrorists. He also says, "We need face-to-face information collection: Who are these people, what are their intentions, and what can be done to disrupt their plans and arrest them?" Wesley Clark should ask his old friend, Hashim Thaki, the commander of the KLA. A photograph was taken of Clark and Thaki with their hands together in a gesture of solidarity. The U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee published a March 1999 report noting assistance for the KLA from bin Laden and Iran. An article in the Jerusalem Post reported, "Diplomats in the region say Bosnia was the first bastion of Islamic power. The autonomous Yugoslav region of Kosovo promises to be the second. During the current rebellion against the Yugoslav army, the ethnic Albanians in the province, most of whom are Moslem, have been provided with financial and military support from Islamic countries. They are being bolstered by hundreds of Iranian fighters, or Mujahadeen, who infiltrate from nearby Albania and call themselves the Kosovo Liberation Army. US defense officials say the support includes that of Osama Bin Laden, the Saudi terrorist accused of masterminding the bombings of the US embassies" in Africa. General Wesley Clark presided over the establishment of these bases of radical Islamic power in both Bosnia and Kosovo. Yet he’s never asked about this. Instead, on CNN, their new hire, Paula Zahn, interviewed the Libyan Ambassador to the United Nations, Abuzed Dorda. Zahn questioned him about Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s surprise criticism of the terror attacks on America. She referred to him as "President Gadhafi." Dorda responded that Libya had been victimized by terror attacks for two decades. Zahn managed to ask one mildly critical question, noting that Libya had been accused of supporting terrorists. Dorda said that wasn’t true, that Libya had only been supporting "freedom fighters." Paula Zahn didn’t bother to refute any of that bunk. And she never mentioned the recent conviction of a Libyan official in the bombing of Pan Am 103, in which 270 people, 189 of them Americans, died. First we were on the side of the KLA. Now Libya is supposed to be our friend. This makes sense to Paula Zahn. aim.org
