From the Paper:

"It would appear that the "scholar General" is doing military things precisely backwards. According to one high ranking Pentagon source, Clark is in "total panic mode," trying to amass the air and ground forces he's finally realized he needs to win this initiative. Mass is a principle of war, and Clark has violated not only this one, but other eight vital principles as well. Any seasoned soldier can tell you that if you don't follow the principles of war, you lose. Wellington triumphed over Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815, because the latter commander elected to piece meal his forces. Similar gradualism was one of the reasons for defeat in Vietnam, and now Clark is doing exactly the same thing in Kosovo, with his air power."
