I think Clark's statements on the illegality of the War he waged are germane to the proceeding. It should interest the Court and the world community if Clark (self proclaimed expert on international law) waged a war in defiance of the UN and all international norms. If Clark wants to denigrate and criminalize America's War against Saddam, it is mandatory that he face similar scrutiny.


The truth of the matter is that Clark waged a War without UN approval. He morphed a strictly defensive alliance (NATO) into an offensive war machine. Isn't that how our friends on the Left would describe the foreign policy that led to the war in Kosovo had the President in charge not been a Democrat? Clark and Clinton bombarded infrastructure and civilian centers. The passenger train of Serb innocents that was bombed should be relevant.

The fact that Clark and Clinton and the Left refuse to stand for Kosovo is telling. Every moment they sling arrows at the just war against Saddam, yet they are unwilling to have their actions judged against international law--the hypocrisy of it is chilling. Who could have predicted that their actions in Kosovo could defeat all of their arguments against Bush? The inconsistency and hypocrisy of the Left will damn them for years to come.

You forgot that congress denied President Clinton authorization for the Kosovo war. Clinton ignored congress anyway.

None of the issues you raise are relevant to the counts of Milosevic's indictment.

Sorry, but it's as simple as that.
