IIRC, it was retired General Wesley Clark who stated[1] in an interview that someone he knew at the Pentagon told him about plans that had already been drawn up to attack 7 Middle Eastern countries:
> We're going to take out seven countries in five years.' And he named them, starting with Iraq and Syria and ending with Iran.
It's an apparent plan from 2001:
> And he named them, starting with Iraq and Syria and ending with Iran." While Clark doesn't name the other four countries, he has mentioned in televised interviews that the hit list included Lebanon, Libya, Somalia and Sudan
Iraq, 2003.
Libya happened in Obama time:

Syrian war also started in 2011.
Iraq, then Iran, then North Korea. That's been the plan ever since 9/11.
