1. I dunno about his book, but here's this
Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan

CNN'S SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: "A speech made in New Hampshire Monday night, you said that there was a memo that was circulating within the administration after 9/11 which talked about overturning the governments of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan. Did you see this memo? Do you know that, in fact, this memo exists?"

CLARK: "Well, the people that told me about it would not have told me about it had it not existed. Now, what's happened to it since, I don't know. But it's been the subject of the sort of neoconservative talk network for some time. And the President's obliquely referred to it."


They tried to tear Clark apart on gop.com. Do you want the link?

THis is why Bush is moving as fast as he can in an election year to reinstate the DRAFT.

There are 6 more countries on the list! Including Iran, Libya, Sudan, Somalia all large, hellish places.

2. Bush planned Iraq 'regime change' before becoming President
spotlights China for 'regime change' saying 'it is time to increase the presence of American forces in southeast Asia'. This, it says, may lead to 'American and allied power providing the spur to the process of democratisation in China';
pinpoints North Korea, Libya, Syria and Iran as dangerous regimes and says their existence justifies the creation of a 'world-wide command-and-control system'.

4. Arab press take from the newsweek article:
7 Muslim Countries Were On U.S. War List: Wesley Clark

http://www.islam-online.net/English/News/2003-09/22/article04.shtml
"What a mistake! I reflected…as though the terrorism were simply coming
from these states," Clark wrote
WASHINGTON, September 22 (IslamOnline.net) - U.S. Presidential hopeful
Wesley Clark, the former general who led NATO forces during the Kosovo
campaign, revealed on Monday, September 22, that the Bush administration
had set-up a five-year plan to invade seven Muslim countries after the
9/11 attacks, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran,
Somalia, and finally Sudan.

5. Seems like about every Middle Eastern country is targeted. Except one.
But when you have Likud double agents dominating the "pResident's" cabinet, why would that be surprising.

This is not, never was, and never will be, remotely connected to the security of the United States of America.

10. I don't see Jordan, Saudi Arabia...
Egypt, the Gulf emirates, or the "'stan's" on that list. Or other North African states.

You're right that it has nothing to do with security or terrorism, but it's a stretch to pull Zionist conspiracy theories in.

7. From Slate:
Page 130: A revelation:

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. … He said it with reproach—with disbelief, almost—at the breadth of the vision. I moved the conversation away, for this was not something I wanted to hear. And it was not something I wanted to see moving forward, either.

11. Bush is moving as fast as he can to get nuclear weapons going.
Over the last 3 years, there have been changes in White House policy on nuclear weapons. Research is back on line. Bush has replaced all high military leaders against preemptive nuclear strike with those that would go along with it. He has also back out of treaties against nuclear testing because of Star Wars.

Nuclear preemptive strikes have some big advantages: don't need soldiers so there are none of those messy transport tubes to be seen. The bomb would disintegrate civilians, so you have no messy bodies lying around to convict you of war crimes. And lastly, he can spend tons of money for them and make more defense contractors filthy rich.

I've been watching this for 3 years now and as usual no one in the media has commented on this. These people are exptremely dangerous and getting more so.

Oh yeah, Russia says it's new bombs can't be stopped by our missle defense system. Of course, the system couldn't stop anything because all the tests have been fixed, but I guess that's another quesitons for another day.

they're gonna blame everything on Iran, gives them an excuse to go after Iran next.

I'm worried they're gonna nuke Iran before the election.
