not trying to do something in secret. >> joining us now with reaction from little rock, general wesley clark, the former supreme allied commander of nato. general clark in both of those sound bites, there was one word that appeared in both. it was trust. how in god's green earth should we or would we trust iran? >> well i think that for the agreement itself, it has to be verifiable. and so when we get the agreement and we can actually look at it we're going to have to look at the inspection regime. and the consequences. so for example do we have the right to inspect where the centrifuges are and understand and verify that they're not in producing highly enriched uranium. and what if we don't get to do the inspection then what are the consequences? and those have to be automatic. now, what i've read about the agreement says that it will go to the u.n. security council. there will be an automatic u.n. security council resolution, automatic that condemns iran, and consequences to that. we want to see what those consequences are. presumably, they would be the reimposition of sanctions and maybe

wesley clark. mr. clark, you hear me? guest: yes, i do. caller: i am serb. i was -- what you did over there, you and president clinton and madeleine albright, and the rest of you people, over there, what you did to yugoslavia, you choose all enemy sebs. you bombed all serbian places. and you took half of serbia and gave it to our many are. you know what is going on over there. all armenians, they would like to leave kosovo. i'm not against arminian. i'm not against m muslim. i'm not against kurds. i grew up with them. they are all my friends. mr. clinton, mr. albright, mrs. clinton, prepare a few million dollars, go over there. host: i want to give you a chance to respond. guest: we did not do that over there, actually. we had nothing to do with outbreak of fighting. if you go back to the historical record. when tito died, what happened is that the ethnic conflicts that had been suppressed, broke out again. ethnic nationalism serb nationalism, was used as a binding force for authority. in so doing, he alienated other groups. the slovenians, the croatians the

>> i want you to stand by because i want to bring in the former nato supreme allied commander, wesley clark threat that we heard the head of the commander of norad discuss earlier? >> yes, it is of concern, wolf. but there's also a wave of russian nuclear modernization that we know about that's of concern. russia is rearming. russia is flying these aircraft and putting these patrols out to warn us that it wants what it wants and it's a powerful military force. this is part of its psychological campaign of preparing for the united states not to withstand and stand up against it. this is the way they operate. and so yes, we have to have the right technology and the right forces to defend ourselves and to deter. we have that capacity. i'm more worried about ukraine and what could happen there. think julia has it right. we don't know how putin will see this going forward, whether he will maintain cooperation on the ground in ukraine. people feel like that another wave of the offensive it imminent. they don't feel secure from -- as a result of the agreement. they are holding their breath. there'

. >>> let's talk more about this with former nato supreme allied commander general wesley clark, author of "don't wait for the next war." a retired four star general. sir, thank you for being here. this seems like a pretty dire warning from the admiral. russian missiles in range of the u.s. kh-101s. if they go operational, what then? could that spark a new arms race of some sort? >> well they will go operational. there's no doubt about that. and yes, there is an arms race that's coming. we just have to face the fact that russia is coming back. under vladimir putin as president obama said he's got a foot firmly in the soviet past. all these bomber patrols are part of putin's strategy. he wants to rebuild the soviet space so he's in ukraine, but he wants to send a warning to the rest of the world about russia's military power, and they are in about the fifth or sixth year of a major military overhaul that started after the russian invasion of the former soviet republic of georgia in 2008. so we have been involved in the middle east we are worried about isis, we are worried about terrorism

outfront former nato commander wesley clark.ow concerned are you about the fight with isis. >> it will be difficult to turn back. let's make this simple. we overturned a sunni regime that's hussein. iraq is 65% roughly, give or take shia. iraqi leadership is now in trouble. that's isis. the iraqis go next door to the iranians and say we need help come on in. they now have provided that help. the likelihood in coming years it will back away from this integration is limited. >> general clark, it begs the rule that as the u.s. is involved here how does this complicate things for the u.s. and how should the u.s. relate to iran when it comes to iraq? >> in the first place we're in there to try to contain, stop to destroy isis. in that case we're right now making common clause with iraq. we didn't participate in the tikrit offensive. the commander, iranian air strike iranian artillery were in there. we stayed out of that. this is a complication as phil said. as the offensive moves forward and we're looking at what we're going to do wi

. >>> former nato supreme allied commander general wesley clark reacted to this news earlier on cnn andays russia is sending a clear message to the u.s. take a listen. >> well, they will go operational. there's no doubt about that. and yes there is an arms race that's coming. we just have to face the fact that russia is coming back. what he wants to do is he wants to set the hook here that if we try to do something in response to his actions in ukraine or maybe further actions in let's say lithuania, latvia or even poland that we'll be afraid in the united states to take action because he's been demonstrating had his bait to reach out and touch us. >> meantime russia has repeatedly denied any direct involvement in the conflict in the eastern ukraine. swedish furniture giant i keep ca is shutting down its website magazine in russia to avoid violating the country's guy ban. the magazine featured same sex coup counsels and mayor families. putin signed a lauf penalizing propaganda of nontraditional sexual orientation among minors. i kia could be forced to pay more than $16,000 or stop activ

and from little rock arkansas retired general wesley clark, author of the new book "don't wait for thear." general clark, you heard senator corker a few minutes ago right here on cnn, he's the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, say he's concerned the obama administration in effect is trying to rearrange the u.s. relationships in throughout the middle east weaken israel to a certain degree and strengthen iran i'm paraphrasing. but you're reaction? >> i don't think that's the case. i think what the obama administration is trying to do is reduce the geostrategic conflict throughout the region. and that's to everyone's benefit if we can do this. we had before 1978-'79 we had a great relationship with iran. there are a lot of positive pro-american feelings there. saudi arabia is our longtime friend and ally. we used to look at the middle east as two pillars, both saudi arabia and iran were u.s. allies. so if we could get back to that and obviously maintain a strong israel and deal with the conflict in syria, all those things are positive. but we can't put ground troops in.

general wesley clark, who i think you've probably known colonel, is quoted as saying on cnn recently "isis got started through funding from our friends and allies to fight to the death against hezbollah." he goes on to say you can't get, you know, people that are used to sitting behind desks to fight these people. you need to get these wild-eyes jihadis to do it. a fellow you might know, admiral james also has said the same thing on a different venue. that's one suggestion. another suggestion, get our friends, of course, to stop funding these people. another suggestion is talk to our lovely ally, israel, who it has been reported has been giving intelligence, training and medical assistance to the isis fighters in the golan heights area. in fact, the golani brigade of israelis has been training them to fight now in egypt. so we might talk to our lovely ally israel, and get them to stop doing that. and we could findedly, as far as suggestions -- remember, i have a question -- we could get our lovely nato ally turkey, to seal their border because they are going across with ease all of t
