#1 Lebanon, Libya, Somalia and Sudan as well as Iraq, Iran and Syria.

One down, six to go. Sadly, not on Bush's remaining watch and not likely at all under any democrat administration. I'd love to see Saudi Arabia and Pakistan on that list but stripping away their satellite proxies would still represent huge progress.

Saddest of all is that there isn't a more credible source airing this information. This is the sort of destabilizing propaganda that's needed to put these terrorist pest holes on notice. America needs to read these rogue regimes the riot act. Ever since we rocketed Kadafi's camp and offed some of his family, he's been writing us love letters. We need to makes similar demonstrations of our displeasure throughout the region.

#2 To be honest, I AM sick of hearing from the perfumed prince. This is one man who deserves nothing but a nobel peace prize for his inaction in Ruwanda.

#3 Iff I remember correctly, this news came out ala PRE-OPER IRAQI FREEDOM. As said or inferred bcak then, 9-11/WOT agz America > Amer accepts subornment to anti-US OWG-SWO/CWO, including as under Radical Islam's GLOBAL ISLAMIST/JIHADIST STATE, etal., or it will be destroyed, which Dubya correctly interpreted as "America either rules the World + future OWG, or America will be destroyed, ergo America chooses/decided to rule the World-OWG".

#7 Okay, Wes, let me ask you something. Wolfowitz told you this in 1991 and then your best bud Bubba got elected in 1992. So, what happened in those 8 years of inaction, burgeoning Islamic terrorism and safety for those 7 states (well 8 with the Soddys) sponsoring it? Nada. Thats what. In fact, you and Bubba went the other way - you declared war on Serbia who was trying to eradicate their "Islamic" problem (not that I am agreeing with Serbia). Maybe, we need to read some of your memos on that. What ya say?

#11 The Bush administration wants to bring about a regime change in seven Middle Eastern countries, according to General Wesley Clark’s new book.

Yo, weasel--that's not a bug, it's a feature!

#12 Lebanon, Libya, Somalia and Sudan as well as Iraq, Iran and Syria.

One down, six to go.

The Syrians were thrown out of Lebanon, and little attempts at re-enty like that which came out of the Palestinian camps have been a failure; only Hizb'allah remains, and they are busily building a Maginot Line of mines and tunnels throughout their territory facing Israel, rendering it ultimately uninhabitable. The mighty Aethiops drove the Islamists out of power in Somalia, and are keeping them out, even at the cost of total chaos. Libya sent us many of their nasty little toys, including the Chinese paperwork. The regime in Sudan is busy, but not terribly effective. Iraq is ours, and getting more so by the day, and Iran and Syria are paying very, very close attention.

General Clark doesn't seem to have forgiven President Bush for remaining in the White House instead of retreating as he ought to have done in the face of such magnificence.

#14 Clark is nothing more than a paper officer that should disappear quietly before his "peers" out him for his complete incompetence during his duty and tours. Especially in Bosnia.

#15 I'm sure glad this guys wasn't around 2 weeks after Dec 7, 1941. He would have soiled himself. The real men of the Greatest Generation would have given him a sharp kick in the arss.

#16 I saw this putz last week walking around at AUSA. Not sure if anyone actually spoke to him or not. What a weasel.

#18 And Saudi Arabia?

#19 And Saudi Arabia?

After Iran and Syria, Woodrow Flique2473. But it will have to be the next president. The current president's father would never forgive him for being mean to George H. W.'s bosom friends.

#20 These people are businessmen and politicians. By definition they don't have real friends.

#21 Clark is such a liar I'm not certian why we are commenting. Might be a good idea but who in their right mind would let Clark in on it?

#23 But we did learn one thing that’s very important. With the end of the Cold War, we can now use our military with impunity.

Appears the butcher's bill completely slipped his mind. Interesting insight into the general's thinking.
