PNAC: Project for a New American Century, Paul Wolfowitz/Dick Cheney/BrZezinski Doctrine

"The process of revolutionary change ... is likely to be a long one absent some catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbour".

-- PNAC in "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century" September 2000 (one year before 9/11)

PNAC is a group founded in 1997 by - among others - Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz (later President of the World Bank), arguably the ideological father of the group.

Since its inception PNAC has been agitating for a war with Iraq. PNAC was the driving force behind the drafting and passage of the Iraqi Liberation Act, a bill that painted a veneer of legality over the ultimate designs behind such a conflict.

PNAC has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to a Hussein opposition group called the Iraqi National Congress, and to Iraq's heir-apparent, Ahmed Chalabi, despite the fact that Chalabi was sentenced in absentia by a Jordanian court to 22 years in prison on 31 counts of bank fraud. Chalabi and the INC have, over the years, gathered support for their cause by promising oil contracts to anyone that would help to put them in power in Iraq.

Most recently, PNAC created a new group called The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq. Staffed entirely by PNAC members, The Committee has set out to "educate" Americans via cable news connections about the need for war in Iraq. This group met recently with National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice regarding the ways and means of this education.

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.

This project is clearly the concrete realization of Brzezinksi-Rockefeller blue-print in The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives
