Regime Rotation in America: Wesley Clark, Osama bin Laden and the 2004 Presidential Elections

Has General Wesley Clark joined the ranks of the 9/11 "conspiracy theorists"?

Clark has not only accused George W. of "possible manipulation of intelligence",  he is also calling for an investigation "into possible 'criminal' conduct in the drive to war." (Daily Telegraph, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/10/04/wclark04.xml 4 October 2003)

Strong words from the front-runner Democratic candidate in the presidential race:

"Nothing could be a more serious violation of public trust than consciously to make a case for war based on false claims... We need to know if we were intentionally deceived... This administration is trying to do something that ought to be politically impossible to do in a democracy, and that is to govern against the will of the majority... That requires twisted facts, silence, secrecy and very poor lighting." (quoted in Daily Telegraph, 4 October 2003)

General Clark's statement hints to a cover-up in the 9/11 joint Senate-House inquiry, regarding Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, which he identifies as  "terrorist sponsors".  In other words, the Retired Four Star General tacitly acknowledges the insidious role played by Washington's indefectible ally, the military government of President Pervez Musharraf, which is known to have supported Al Qaeda and the Taliban.

It is important that we understand the political motivations behind Wesley Clark's position.

While his observations regarding the Bush administration are accurate, his own record is tainted.
