Ten days after the attacks of 11 September 2001, former US Army General Wesley Clark revealed a controversial military strategy. In a conversation in the corridors of the Pentagon, Clark learned of a secret plan to "eliminate seven countries in five years." This 2007 revelation raised many questions about the real motivations of the "War on Terror" and the garbage narrative fed to the world via mainstream media.

Clark reported that the plan was to invade Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and, finally, Iran. The surprisingly extensive list raised questions about US intentions and global strategy after the 9/11 attacks.

According to Clark, the decision to attack Iraq was made without clear justification, underlining officials' inability to deal with the terrorist threat effectively. The conversation that took place between Clark and another senior Pentagon official revealed the uncertainty and confusion within the upper echelons of the military. "Are we going to war with Iraq? Why?," asked Clark. The answer was puzzling: "I don't know. I guess they don't know what else to do."
