Gen Wes Clark's NYT's Op/Ed on Iraq/Iran

I'm willing to bet Wes wrote this op/ed himself... unlike Dumbya's "plan for victory in Iraq". A man w/political aspirations that possesses the ability to think and write? Amazing, no? NYTimes: "While American troops have been fighting, and dying, against the Sunni rebels and foreign jihadists, the Shiite clerics in Iraq have achieved fundamental political goals: capturing oil revenues, strengthening the role of Islam in the state, and building up formidable militias that will defend their gains and advance their causes as the Americans draw down and leave. Iraq's neighbors, then, see it evolving into a Shiite-dominated, Iranian buffer state that will strengthen Tehran's power in the Persian Gulf just as it is seeks nuclear weapons and intensifies its rhetoric against Israel." C'mon Gen Clark... ya know how difficult it is for Bush to get his empty head around concepts like history and geography right. Iraq? Iran? He was only 1 letter off...
