Clark: Iraq war used to settle score (Kevin Landrigan, The Telegraph, November 6, 2003) The attack against Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism, but was the work of military leaders in the Bush administration with a long score to settle, retired Gen. Wesley Clark charged Wednesday. . . . The Democratic presidential candidate predicted that poor planning and the cost of the Iraq war aftermath would lead to a political realignment, since Americans no longer see Republicans as more trustworthy on national security issues. . . . “The legacy of Vietnam will be put to rest by the legacy of Iraq,” Clark said . . . Rumsfeld wrote a memo five hours after the terrorist attacks that ordered up intelligence on whether it could be used to “hit S.H.,’’ referring to Saddam. . . . “Go massive. Sweep it all up. Things related and not,” the memo said, according to those reports.
[COMMENT: Also see Beyond Bush Part II for an interesting take on who might be behind Wesly Clark and others. Nothing we know right now is very straight forward. Think for yourself and question the motives, advisors, and powers behind every candidate.]
