Project for the New American Century?!
Ddoubleez turned me on to a video, that had this in it, although it was only briefly mentioned. I was unaware something like this existed, I mean I knew that all the neo-cons were crazy, and all were part of a secret boys club, but god damn! Here's the link to the wiki article on this wacked-out group. On a side note, I looked at their website, and their last posted article was in early 2006, so maybe they don't exist any longer--for everyone's sake.

Re: Project for the New American Century?!
Good find, and an interesting read. I'm sure they still exist, just behind a thicker curtain. Corruption and power abuse will remain intact as long as we live on this earth.

Re: Project for the New American Century?!
Seems like no one has an opinion, besides the liberal trio...........

In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes.

- President Dwight Eisenhower, January 1961.
Who is PNAC? Its members include:
* Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the PNAC founders, who served as Secretary of Defense for Bush Sr.;
* I. Lewis Libby, Cheney's top national security assistant;
* Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, also a founding member, along with four of his chief aides including;
* Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, arguably the ideological father of the group;
* Eliot Abrams, prominent member of Bush's National Security Council, who was pardoned by Bush Sr. in the Iran/Contra scandal;
* John Bolton, who serves as Undersecretary for Arms Control and International Security in the Bush administration;
* Richard Perle, former Reagan administration official and present chairman of the powerful Defense Policy Board;
* Randy Scheunemann, President of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, who was Trent Lott's national security aide and who served as an advisor to Rumsfeld on Iraq in 2001;
* Bruce Jackson, Chairman of PNAC, a position he took after serving for years as vice president of weapons manufacturer Lockheed-Martin, and who also headed the Republican Party Platform subcommittee for National Security and Foreign Policy during the 2000 campaign. His section of the 2000 GOP Platform explicitly called for the removal of Saddam Hussein;
* William Kristol, noted conservative writer for the Weekly Standard, a magazine owned along with the Fox News Network by conservative media mogul Ruppert Murdoch.
The Project for the New American Century seeks to establish what they call 'Pax Americana' across the globe. Essentially, their goal is to transform America, the sole remaining superpower, into a planetary empire by force of arms. A report released by PNAC in September of 2000 entitled 'Rebuilding America's Defenses' codifies this plan, which requires a massive increase in defense spending and the fighting of several major theater wars in order to establish American dominance. The first has been achieved in Bush's new budget plan, which calls for the exact dollar amount to be spent on defense that was requested by PNAC in 2000. Arrangements are underway for the fighting of the wars.
The first step towards the establishment of this Pax Americana is, and has always been, the removal of Saddam Hussein and the establishment of an American protectorate in Iraq. The purpose of this is threefold: 1) To acquire control of the oilheads so as to fund the entire enterprise; 2) To fire a warning shot across the bows of every leader in the Middle East; 3) To establish in Iraq a military staging area for the eventual invasion and overthrow of several Middle Eastern regimes, including some that are allies of the United States.
Another PNAC signatory, author Norman Podhoretz, quantified this aspect of the grand plan in the September 2002 issue of his journal, 'Commentary'. In it, Podhoretz notes that the regimes, "that richly deserve to be overthrown and replaced, are not confined to the three singled-out members of the axis of evil. At a minimum, the axis should extend to Syria and Lebanon and Libya, as well as 'friends' of America like the Saudi royal family and Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, along with the Palestinian Authority, whether headed by Arafat or one of his henchmen." At bottom, for Podhoretz, this action is about "the long-overdue internal reform and modernization of Islam."

Re: Project for the New American Century?!
The liberal trio, I love it! I'm surprised none of the overwhelming amount of Republicans on this board would chime in on this topic. Where did that one guy, Sgtpat or whatever go? He was always good for defending the administration's ridiculous policies, no matter how wrong. Come on Bush supporters, and neo-cons, defend this organization, I would love to hear your reasoning!

Re: Project for the New American Century?!

Every superpower in the history of the world has tried to dominate the planet. Things never change and history repeats itself.

Re: Project for the New American Century?!
Love the Tombstone reference, I never would've pictured you as a conservative. I don't think I've ever seen you in here. This thread is rather old, so I just assumed not very many people have seen it or cared about a group like this pulling the strings in our government, but the newer people keep bumping older threads. As far as my beef to conservatism, there's so many things, I wouldn't know where to begin. Good to see you in here, later.

Maybe the most concise post in a long while. Agreed, and it makes me worry about our current state of the good ol' U S of A.

The past superpowers were not subject to the freedom of information that we have... We will be the first that has the information that can lead to intervention.....
