“He picked up a piece of paper and said, I just got this down from upstairs, meaning the Secretary of Defense. He said this is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off with Iran.”

I can’t abide Weasley Clark, but he wrote about this back in 2003. Whether you believe him or not, the fact that he claims this is not altered by whatever medium conveys his words, commie or otherwise.
I never heard Thaci called that. Where did you get that?
His nom de guerre was “The Snake”.
You make a good point FRiend.
Wesley Clark wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him on the ass.

“The entire point was to destabilize the Middle East so a caliphate could take hold in the region allowing for Ottoman Empire II to take root.”

Russia isn’t going to be the problem. Turkey will be, and your namesake isn’t going to be around this time.
I agree Bro!
Don’t forget— Erdogan of Turkey offering to shelter Hamas leaders kicked out of Qatar. Erdogan in the same breath trying to tell the House of Saud that HE is going to be the Head Caliph of the new Caliphate.
What utter crap- they wont let him. And this interval of Syria will NOT turn out as obamaumao’s embeds think it will. Israel destroyed all major stored weapons these al-qaeda could have used. They do not have the ability to hold Syria, is the meaning.
US assets are still in Syria by the way. And Trump will have to hit the ground running with all the chaos idiots like Blinkin and Biden have created for their master, also on his way out— obamaumao the first of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Islam is not coming out well in all this.

You’re a cool person.
I do not trust Weasley to tell the truth, but his claim is somewhat plausible. At the time (2003) we were in Afghanistan and Bush had just declared “mission accomplished” in Iraq. Also at the time, unaware of what Weasley wrote, I wondered whether they were going to go after Iran next (looking at a map and taking into account the rhetoric of the day).
It’s not totally outside the realm of possibility that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld had ambitions to “clean up” that part of the world in those days. Little did they know at the time how we’d get all bogged down in Iraq and that Afghanistan would turn into the quagmire it did, too.
So I’m keeping it as a question mark. Perhaps this time there is at least some truth in his claim.
Yep. Exactly
Back in the Kosovo days, he was referred to by some of our government officials by that.
You’s is a better description.
He is not dumb. But he should have never been taken as an ally.
I found this:
http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_57430.shtml
“While in Switzerland, Hashim Thaci flirted with Marxism-Leninism and was one of the founders of the People’s Movement of Kosovo (LPK), aiming to revive the century long dream of Greater Albania. It is this point of Thaci’s life that we can understand by applying Weber’s analysis on charismatic leadership. According to Weber, a charismatic leader is the head of a new social movement whose mission and vision inspire others and who is often credited with having divine or supernatural powers. Charisma is alien to the daily routine. A charismatic leader often says very controversial things, rejects old rules and demands change.”
What I heard back then may have related to his earley years in Switzerland.
The article did refer to him as The Snake as you said.
Wesley Clark tried to start WW3 but a British officer stopped him from attacking the Russians.
what else do you expect hardspunned to post from? legit sources?
he’s the president of freeper antisemite caucaus and will post ANYTHING as long as it makes Israel look bad in some way and so he can make a “neocon” comment
Clark was sacked in 2000. In 2004 National Review, that was when it was worth reading, published "An Army of One" about Clark. It had this gem in it:
"Interviews with a wide variety of current and retired military officials reveal that Clark was disliked by only three groups: Those whom ranked above him in the chain of command whom he ignored, his peers at the same rank whom he lied to, and those serving beneath him whom he micromanaged. Other than that, everyone liked him."IIRC, he survived getting sacked earlier because Bill Clinton liked him. During Kosovo and he was noted for having his own press corp following him around and even a few members of Congress complained about it. His Presidential campaign was an embarrassment. His interview for the Advocate didn't help him.
In 2007, he was claiming that in 2003, that right after George W Bush decided to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, an unnamed high ranking general couldn't wait to tell him about it.
Take what he says with a huge grain of salt.
Re: Wesley Clark: Not since Colin Powell had a fawning media pulled out all the stops to catapult an American military officer into the ranks of politicians. Fortunately for the country it didn’t work.
