The skinny: Clark is getting valuable exposure for his possible run for president. A critic of the Bush administration's coalition-building efforts--he has said the White House has not treated U.S. allies respectfully--Clark also was critical of the Clinton administration's military tactics in the former Yugoslavia.
"[W]e may have a democracy that emerges there and people may really thank us. But also we could be in a situation where we're quickly viewed as occupiers."
