Funny how the one candidate exposing PNAC gets tarred as PNAC-er. It's a never ending slander, so I am gathering some ammunition here:

Here's Clark on TPM:
 And in an odd replay of the Carter administration, found itself chained to the Iraqi policy -- promoted by the Project for a New American Century -- much the same way that in the Carter administration some of the same people formed the Committee on the Present Danger which cut out from the Carter administration the ability to move forward on SALT II.

TPM: This being the same neo-conservatives that people hear about in the press today?

and here's PNAC responding:

Also, after his book was published, the press noticed the PNAC chapter. here's the Islamic press:

7 Muslim Countries Were On U.S. War List: Wesley Clark

http://www.islam-online.net/English/News/2003-09/22/article04.shtml
"What a mistake! I reflected...as though the terrorism were simply coming
from these states," Clark wrote
WASHINGTON, September 22 (IslamOnline.net) - U.S. Presidential hopeful
Wesley Clark, the former general who led NATO forces during the Kosovo
campaign, revealed on Monday, September 22, that the Bush administration
had set-up a five-year plan to invade seven Muslim countries after the
9/11 attacks, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran,
Somalia, and finally Sudan.
In his book "The Clark Critique" excerpts of which were published by
this week's Newsweek edition, the four-star retired general wrote that
following the September attacks, the U.S. administration became
preoccupied with the idea of "state sponsorship" and "draining the
swamp" of terrorism.
"In the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, many in the Bush
administration seemed most focused on a prospective move against Iraq.
This was the old idea of state sponsorship-even though there was no
evidence of Iraqi sponsorship of 9/11 whatsoever," the anti-Iraqi war
Democrat said.
"But there was more. This was being discussed as part of a five-year
campaign plan and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with
Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia, and Sudan."
The Vietnam veteran said that Washington saw that it would be effective
to attack a state than "to chase after individuals, nebulous
organizations, and shadowy associations."
"...For this was not something I wanted to hear. And it was not something
I wanted to see moving forward, either," he said.

act and declared his love for the preemption doctrine:
Senator Kerry issued the following statement
after the president's
 speech last night(SOTU):
"Even having botched the diplomacy, it is
the duty of any president,
in the final analysis, to defend this nation
and dispel the security
threats, both immediate and longer term,
against it. Saddam Hussein
has brought military action upon himself by
refusing for 12 years to
comply with the mandates of the United
Nations."

PERLE: "So I think General Clark simply doesn't want to see us use military force and he has thrown out as many reasons as he can develop to that but the bottom line is he just doesn't want to take action. He wants to wait."

The full-mooners fixated on a think tank called the Project for the New American Century, which has a staff of five and issues memos on foreign policy. To hear these people describe it, PNAC is sort of a Yiddish Trilateral Commission, the nexus of the sprawling neocon tentacles.
We'd sit around the magazine guffawing at the ludicrous stories that kept sprouting, but belief in shadowy neocon influence has now hardened into common knowledge. Wesley Clark, among others, cannot go a week without bringing it up.
