Wesley Clark spent four decades in uniform, rising to Supreme Allied Commander Europe for NATO during the Kosovo War before running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004. In this Fault Lines interview, Al Jazeera's Josh Rushing sits down with the retired four-star general to talk through Iraq, Afghanistan, and what Clark calls America's insatiable appetite for oil. Clark speaks plainly about commanding the Kosovo air campaign, about the political fights that followed his run for president, and about the military options and mistakes he sees in the post-9/11 wars. Rushing pushes him on his own record as well as on Washington's, and the exchange moves between personal recollection and blunt policy argument rather than staying at arm's length. There is no reenactment or archival footage here, just two men in conversation, but Clark's position, an insider willing to criticize the institutions he served, gives the interview its edge. It works as a plain-spoken record of how one of NATO's most senior wartime commanders sees the decisions made after he left the chain of command.
