Project For The New American Century Links And Quotes - A Reminder
Edited on Sun Aug-28-05 10:35 AM by DistressedAmerican
Never forget who we are dealing and what their aganda is. Plain and simple they want hegemonic domination of the oil producing Middle East.

They have two goals, secure our oil supply and secure the state of Israel. This is what these folks are up to. They will not stop with Iraq. They are eye-ballying the whole region folks.

A draft will be on the way soon.

-REMINDER SNIP FROM THE NEOCON MANIFESTO-

We are in danger of squandering the opportunity and failing the challenge. We are living off the capital -- both the military investments and the foreign policy achievements -- built up by past administrations. Cuts in foreign affairs and defense spending, inattention to the tools of statecraft, and inconstant leadership are making it increasingly difficult to sustain American influence around the world. And the promise of short-term commercial benefits threatens to override strategic considerations. As a consequence, we are jeopardizing the nation's ability to meet present threats and to deal with potentially greater challenges that lie ahead.

We seem to have forgotten the essential elements of the Reagan Administration's success: a military that is strong and ready to meet both present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully promotes American principles abroad; and national leadership that accepts the United States' global responsibilities.


Of course, the United States must be prudent in how it exercises its power. But we cannot safely avoid the responsibilities of global leadership or the costs that are associated with its exercise. America has a vital role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges to our fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire. The history of this century should have taught us to embrace the cause of American leadership.

Our aim is to remind Americans of these lessons and to draw their consequences for today. Here are four consequences:

• we need to increase defense spending significantly if we are to carry out our global
responsibilities today and modernize our armed forces for the future;


• we need to strengthen our ties to democratic allies and to challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values;


• we need to promote the cause of political and economic freedom abroad;


• we need to accept responsibility for America's unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles.

Such a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity may not be fashionable today. But it is necessary if the United States is to build on the successes of this past century and to ensure our security and our greatness in the next.

1. In my case, you're
preaching to the choir, good on you getting the word out though. It is just too insane for most people to believe, PNAC seems like a 007 villian....scary thing is that they are very real.

2. I Just Like To Remind Folks Every So Often What The Big Picture Is
It is easy to get too focused on the details. Especially when the details are the size of the entire country or Iraq.

But, as you know, they play big picture politics.

Iraq is just a slice of the pie to these folks...

3. Thanks for the links!
Especially the Old American Century one. The MSM still seems to be in denial when it comes to exposing this screwed up administration. Or they are complicit. I presume the latter.

7. Added One On My Better Animations To Illustrate The Point!
They want oil and Iran. They want Syria. They have teamed up with the religious right to get the power to give it a shot and want to run as far AS WE LET THEM!

We have to hit the streets in big numbers folks!

That is the only thing they listen to. We will make them pay in 2006 then for the brief period Bush lasts after that. Lame duck SOB.

15. These PNAC'ers are scum
After they dupe that dopey Bush into doing their harebrained schemes they blame him when things go wrong.

Here's a flash assholes:

Your plan is no fucking good. That's why it's not working.
