On the first visit, less than two weeks after Sept. 11, he writes, a 'senior general' told him, 'We’re going to attack Iraq. The decision has basically been made.' <br /><br />Six weeks later, Clark returned to Washington to see the same general and inquired whether the plan to strike Iraq was still under consideration. The general’s response was stunning: <br /><br />‘Oh, it’s worse than that,’ he said, holding up a memo on his desk. ‘Here’s the paper from the Office of the Secretary of Defense [then Donald Rumsfeld] outlining the strategy. We’re going to take out seven countries in five years.’ And he named them, starting with Iraq and <b>SYRIA</b> and ending with Iran.” <br /><br />While Clark doesn’t name the other four countries, he has mentioned in televised interviews that the hit list included Lebanon, Libya, Somalia and Sudan."<br /><br />(source: libertariannews.org/2011/10/25/general-wesley-clark-us-planned-invasion-of-seven-countries-back-in-2001/)Isaac A.

As unpleasant as chemical weapons use is, thousands of dead Americans and trillions of dollars spent over the next ten years "securing democracy" in Syria is a fools errand.
