Ret. Gen. Wesley Clark on Attacks on Kharg Island: It Could Be That We‘re Softening Them Up to ‘Put the Marines in There’

EXCERPT:

CLARK: "Well, it could be that we're softening them up to be able to put the Marines in there, or another force in there at some point. So that makes sense because before you go into some place, you're going to want to do everything you can to eliminate the opposition. But it also could be just symbolic that we were holding the sort of crown jewels of Iran hostage, and we could shift those targets from military sites to the energy sites that are there, the petrochemical complex, and storage facility, and so forth. So it's a dual message."
