Gen. Wesley Clark releaved of Command in Kosovo.com?

Question

was Gen. Clark releaved of Command by Pres Clinton in Kosovo conflict?

Answer 1

Clark was not relieved of command during the Kosovo conflict. He was fired from being NATO Supreme Commander after the war.

Said retired Gen. Hugh Shelton, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; "I've known Wes for a long time. I will tell you the reason he came out of Europe early had to do with integrity and character issues, things that are very near and dear to my heart."

Answer 2

Clark was not 'relieved of command' in Kosovo and Hugh Shelton retracted his statement when called up by the judge at Milosovic's trial at the International Court in the Hague.... admitting to the judge that it was 'just politics". At the time that Shelton made the statement, he was working as a consultant for one of the other candidates running for President in 04 on the Democratic ticket--though Shelton remains a staunch supporter fo George Bush today.

As far as Clark leaving the NATO command early, here's some of what the New York Times has reported about it:

"According to three former Clinton aides, when Clinton approved the list of appointments submitted to him by Cohen (for the new commander), including the selection of General Joseph W. Ralston as the new commander of the NATO forces, it wasn't made clear to the President that this would cut Clark's term as the supreme commander by nearly three months. (Of this, Clinton later said at a press conference in Europe, "I had nothing to do with it.") Despite having been treated badly, Clark continued to serve for the following nine months. Clinton was reportedly furious when he realized the mistake that had been made, but he didn't want to go back on it lest he look indecisive, or further alienate military officials, with whom he had been on bad terms since the beginning of his presidency."

Hope this helps.
