Reply #52: About Four months ago Clark said essentially the same thing.

I am not enamored with the beltway plan, because it's not a plan...it's an agenda.

"We’ve got a window of about four months after this election to try to get that constitution re-jiggered so that it cuts off the Iranian’s access and the Shi’as control over the oil in the south and denies Iran the opportunity to create a Shi’a-dominated buffer state in the south of Iraq. About a four month window. After that we’re going to leave because we’ve done our work there and the Shi’as will want us to leave because we’ve handed over to them what they’re most interested in. It won’t be a victory that we’re proud of ultimately unless we take advantage right now of our military capabilities.
Eric Shawn: Alright, General Wesley Clark, we thank you. You’ve just laid out the strategy and the challenge after this Thursday for the next four months. Thank you, sir. Live in Little Rock.
GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Thank you.
