I'm not 100% sure about this, but I heard Wesley Clark earned his 4th star by providing the tanks for the Waco event when those kids were burned alive. Wasn't Wesley fired from Nato?

He was not directly involved with the assault at the Davidian compound as far as I know from what I have read although forces were called up from the base where he was?
You can read more about his medals and awards here.

"One lingering question about General Clark's résumé is why his NATO tour came to an abrupt end in 2000. He was not fired by the White House, as some accounts have suggested. Rather, former officials of the Clinton administration say, his tour was cut short by Defense Secretary William S. Cohen and Gen. H. Hugh Shelton, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who were still smarting over their differences with the NATO commander."
I dunno man, this was more a shot at O'Reilly than a commendation of Clark. He's still one of the snakes up there on the hill, but I would trust his judgement over that of O'Reilly on what may or may not work in Iraq.
