Secret 2001 Pentagon Plan to
Attack LebanonBush's Plan for "Serial
War" revealed by General Wesley Clark

"[The] Five-year
campaign plan [includes]... a total of seven
countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria,
Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan"
(Pentagon official quoted by General Wesley
Clark)
According to General Wesley Clark--the
Pentagon, by late 2001, was Planning to Attack
Lebanon
"Winning Modern Wars" (page 130)
General Clark states the following:
"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. ...I left the Pentagon that
afternoon deeply concerned."
Of course, this wholly consistent
with the US Neocons' master plan, "Rebuilding
America's Defenses," published in August 2000 by the
Project for the New American Century (PNAC)
And, as PNAC's website (
http://www.newamericancentury.org ) notes,
that the lead author of that plan, Thomas Donnelly,
was a top official of Lockheed Martin--a company
well acquainted with war and its profit potential.
It's no surprise that Republicans
are starting to talk about withdrawing troops from
Iraq; the troops will be needed in Lebanon. And
maybe Sudan and Syria?

all this in his pre-Iraq war commentary on CNN--is
