Wesley Clark's Conspiracy Theory: Tells Wolf Blitzer about the neoconservative master plan

Does Gen. Wesley Clark subscribe to The Weekly Standard? Commentary, maybe? Because he seems to know a lot about, as he puts it, the "neoconservative press." Yesterday on CNN's "Late Edition," for example, Clark said — not for the first time — that the Bush administration's war plans extend far beyond Iraq.

"I do know this," Clark told Wolf Blitzer. "In the gossip circles in Washington, among the neoconservative press, and in some of the statements that Secretary Rumsfeld and Secretary Wolfowitz have made, there is an inclination to extend this into Syria and maybe Lebanon." What's more, Clark added, "the administration's never disavowed this intent."

Well, no. Here's what a senior administration official told the Los Angeles Times's Robin Wright last April: "The lesson of Iraq is not 'Watch out, the U.S. is going to invade.' We're not. . . . Do you think President Bush would do anything to prepare for an election like fight another war? He's not looking for more foreign adventures. We won't get ahead by invading Syria or Iran."

Secretary of State Colin Powell made the same argument when he visited Syria last May. The secretary traveled to Damascus shortly after major combat operations in Iraq had ended, Powell said, in order "to pursue diplomacy and mutual political efforts that both sides can be taking." The reason for the visit? "So the issue of war hostilities is not on the table."

Case closed, right?

Wrong. Clark has made his charge a central plank of his presidential campaign. …

"If the administration felt the need to "disavow" all the nonsense Wesley dreams up, they'd have to hire a full time Senior Administrative Disavower."

LOL!

And if they have? So what? Did the President not vow to go after terrorists and the nations who harbor them? I expect this to go on to another country. What is the big freaking deal Clark? Do you understand yet the threat to our security? It is because of the appeasement of your party that we are in this mess to begin with. God deliver us from a democrat in charge or we are doomed.
