Clark: "About 10 days after 9/11 I went through the Pentagon and I saw secretary Rumsfeld and and deputy secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the joint staff who used used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in he said, 'Sir you got to come in, you got to come in and talk to me a second.' I said, 'Well, you're too busy,' he said 'no, no' he says, 'We've made the decision, we're going to war with Iraq.' This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, 'We're going to war with Iraq? Why?' He said, 'I don't know,' he said, 'I guess they don't know what else to do.' So uh, I said, 'Well did they find some information connecting Saddam to Al Qaeda?' He said 'No, no' he says 'there's nothing new that way, they just made the decision to go to war with Iraq,' he said 'I guess it's like we don't know what to do about terrorists but we got a good military and we can take down governments.'" Clark: ... "So I came back to see him a few weeks later and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, 'Are we still going to war with Iraq? And he said, 'Oh it's worse than that,' he said, he reached over on his desk he picked up a piece of paper and he said, 'I just' he said, 'I just got this down from upstairs' - meaning the secretary of defense's office - 'today' and he said, 'this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off, Iran.'" Amy Goodman: ... "Go through the countries again." Clark: "Well, starting with Iraq, then Syria and Lebanon, then Libya then Somalia and Sudan and then back to Iran."
