Like you I think he is truthful about it. I also see the dominoes falling as he predicted - although not in the same time frame or pattern he laid out, so overall I continue to give this value as a distinct possibility, if not a proven fact.
Yup - and Clark namechecks Rumsfeld in the actual quote.
That is a potential explanation for this most revealing comment that I have long wondered about. Clearly he is being truthful. But why? Initially I took it at face value, as a warning. That he had parted ways with this philosophy. Some semblance of conscience at work. Has anyone ever asked him about these remarks? He's certainly being quiet on the issue at hand, Syria.
