Wars Were Planned 7 Countries In 5 Years: General Wesley Clark

...During an interview in 2007, retired U.S. General Wesley Clark, explained that the Bush Administration had plans to ‘take out’ 7 countries in 5 years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran

Because I had been through the Pentagon right after 9/11. About ten days after 9/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said, “Sir, you’ve got to come in and talk to me a second.” I said, “Well, you’re too busy.” He said, “No, no.” He says, “We’ve made the decision we’re going to war with Iraq.” This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, “We’re going to war with Iraq? Why?” He said, “I don’t know.” He said, “I guess they don’t know what else to do.” So I said, “Well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda?” He said, “No, no.” He says, “There’s nothing new that way. They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.” He said, “I guess it’s like we don’t know what to do about terrorists, but we’ve got a good military and we can take down governments.” And he said, “I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.”

So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, “Are we still going to war with Iraq?” And he said, “Oh, it’s worse than that.” He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, “I just got this down from upstairs” — meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office — “today.” And he said, “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.” I said, “Is it classified?” He said, “Yes, sir.” I said, “Well, don’t show it to me.” And I saw him a year or so ago, and I said, “You remember that?” He said, “Sir, I didn’t show you that memo! I didn’t show it to you!”

Dar as someone that held a TS clearance (graduated the class before PFC Manning) and read Wesley Clarck's book 'Waging Modern War' I can tell you the Pentagon has contingency plans for invading just about every country of interest. Its their standard operating procedure. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

This is Stange. There is no such thing as a general TS clearance. It's all over tv but has no meaning in the real military. In reality security clearances are compartmentalized. They are based on specific areas There no such thing as a general top-secret clearance.

Mine was signals communications and biowarfare.

Richard. Army Intelligence. Again, I graduated in the class before PFC Manning. They did a ten year background check on me. I held it for 4 years active duty and it was renewed for additional 4 years for calling me back if needed. While in the army, I also ran two marathons one in San Antonio and one in Baghdad, Iraq. Also ran the Batton Memorial Death March - that is running the distance of a marathon with a 40lb backpack at White Sands Missile Range.
