In a shocking revelation, retired U.S. four-star general Wesley Clark has disclosed that following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the United States had devised a plan to target seven countries over a span of five years. According to Clark, the strategy was to initiate military actions starting with Iraq, followed by Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and ultimately Iran.
General Clark's statements shed light on the aggressive foreign policy maneuvers that were considered in the wake of the attacks. While such plans were intended to dismantle terrorist networks and prevent future threats, they also sparked significant debates on their geopolitical implications and the long-term impact on international relations.
The targeting of these nations reflects a broader strategy aimed at destabilizing regions that were perceived as harboring extremist groups. However, the plan also raised concerns about the humanitarian consequences and the potential for escalating conflicts in already volatile areas.
As discussions around post-9/11 policies continue, General Clark's insights provide a critical perspective on the decision-making processes that have shaped global politics in the 21st century.
