Help! Link? Wes Clark book, PNAC memo on 6 more countries to invade
Does anyone have info or the link on the memo revealed in the Clark book that specified the list of countries to invade?

Think it was Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan and Somalia but need more info. Think it was a memo from Feith but now can't remember or find.

Help!

7 Muslim Countries Were On U.S. War List: Wesley Clark
http://www.islam-online.net/English/News/2003-09/22/article04.shtml
"What a mistake! I reflected…as though the terrorism were simply coming
from these states," Clark wrote
WASHINGTON, September 22 (IslamOnline.net) - U.S. Presidential hopeful
Wesley Clark, the former general who led NATO forces during the Kosovo
campaign, revealed on Monday, September 22, that the Bush administration
had set-up a five-year plan to invade seven Muslim countries after the
9/11 attacks, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran,
Somalia, and finally Sudan.
In his book "The Clark Critique" excerpts of which were published by
this week's Newsweek edition, the four-star retired general wrote that
following the September attacks, the U.S. administration became
preoccupied with the idea of "state sponsorship" and "draining the swamp" of terrorism.
"In the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, many in the Bush
administration seemed most focused on a prospective move against Iraq.
This was the old idea of state sponsorship-even though there was no
evidence of Iraqi sponsorship of 9/11 whatsoever," the anti-Iraqi war
Democrat said

3. Heard from a deploying soldier that his unit is heading for Somalia
Guess we'll know soon if it's true.

4. We would need somewhere in the range of 50K troops for Somalia
The local population, or "skinnies", own an average of 2 guns each and 60% of the population are considered to be addicted to narcotics. Ugly, ugly, ugly place.

There are still some small UN missions there, that might be what he's headed for.
