Plan for "Serial War" revealed by General Wesley Clark

I remember after the fall of Bagdad and the start of the didnt-see-it-comings that some undisclosed WH source that it was to be unexpected and that the next country we invaded would go much smoother.

 

Good thing Hayes wasn't a consultant then, otherwise China could be on the list.

 

Lets lay out some quotes for people. It's shocking:


"As I went back through the Pentagon in November 2001, one of the senior military staff officers had time for a chat. Yes, we were still on track for going against Iraq, he said. But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia, and Sudan." Clark adds, "I left the Pentagon that afternoon deeply concerned."

On the next page of the book, 131, Clark writes:
"And what about the real sources of terrorists—U.S. allies in the region like Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia? Wasn’t it the repressive policies of the first, and the corruption and poverty of the second, that were generating many of the angry young men who became terrorists? And what of the radical ideology and direct funding spewing from Saudi Arabia? Wasn’t that what was holding the radical Islamic movement together? . . . It seemed that we were being taken into a strategy more likely to make us the enemy—encouraging what could look like a ‘clash of civilizations’—not a good strategy for Winning the war on terror."
