Taken from Congressional hearing in SEPTEMBER 02!
GEN. CLARK: I think that the United States always has the option of acting unilaterally. But I'd say in this case it's a question of what's the sense of urgency here, and how soon would we need to act unilaterally? And so I think it's very important that we recognize that so far as any of the information has been presented, as General Hoar said, there is nothing that indicates that in the immediate, next hours, next days, that there's going to be nuclear-tipped missiles put on launch pads to go against our forces or our allies in the region. And so I think there is, based on all of the evidence available, sufficient time to work through the diplomacy of this.
GEN CLARK: I've been concerned that the attention on Iraq will distract us from what we're doing with respect to al Qaeda.
GEN. CLARK: Yes, sir. I think that there is a substantial risk in the aftermath of the operation that we could end up with a problem which is more intractable than we have today.
Oh wait, these confirm his feeling that this war was unnecessary, back in 2002. Say what about inconsitency?
