Wes Clark: Iraq war used to settle score

[maha]

CONCORD – The attack against Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism, but was the work of military leaders in the Bush administration with a long score to settle, retired Gen. Wesley Clark charged Wednesday.

The Democratic presidential candidate predicted that poor planning and the cost of the Iraq war aftermath would lead to a political realignment, since Americans no longer see Republicans as more trustworthy on national security issues.

“The legacy of Vietnam will be put to rest by the legacy of Iraq,” Clark said during remarks at the New Hampshire Political Library.

Clark said a memo from Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld soon after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York and Washington was a foreshadowing of the effort to remove Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
“It is a world-class bait and switch,” Clark told reporters.
