" While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate

justification, the need for a substantial American force presence

in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein ...

 

" the process of [military] transformation, even if it brings

revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some

catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor ...

 

.... advanced forms of biological warfare that can " target " specific

genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror

to a politically useful tool. "

Geopolitically, Iran will be next because the real target is

elsewhere, and too strong to strike directly. The real target in the

neoconservatives' sites is China, and always has been.

The game is encirclement, and it's purpose,

the frustration of the Project for the New Chinese Century.

The Project for a New European Century

By Mark Leonard | Friday, May 27, 2005

Amidst bouts of European gloom and doom, Mark Leonard, author of

" Perpetual Power: Why Europe Will Run the 21st Century, "

has a different vision. Counterintuitive though it may seem,

he argues that a " New European Century " will emerge. Why?

Surely not because Europe will run the world as an empire but

— because the European way of doing things will become the world's.

 

PRETEXT TO THE " AXIS OF EVIL "

" We cannot allow North Korea, Iran, Iraq or similar states to

undermine American leadership, intimidate American allies or threaten

the American homeland itself. "

- Rebuilding America's Defenses, September, 2000

 

" States like [North Korea, Iran, and Iraq], and their terrorist

allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of

the world. "

How We Got Into This Imperial Pickle:

A PNAC Primer Bernard Weiner

Co-Editor, The Crisis Papers

May 26, 2003

Recently, I was the guest on a radio talk-show hosted by a thoroughly

decent far-right Republican. I got verbally battered, but returned

fire and, I think, held my own. Toward the end of the hour, I

mentioned that the National Security Strategy -- promulgated by the

Bush Administration in Sept. 2002 -- now included attacking possible

future competitors first, assuming regional hegemony by force of arms,

controlling energy resources around the globe, maintaining a

permanent-war strategy, etc.

 

" I'm not making up this stuff, " I said. " It's all talked about openly

by the neo-conservatives of the Project for the New American Century -

- who now are in charge of America's military and foreign policy -

- and published as official U.S. doctrine in the National Security

Strategy of the United States of America. "

 

The talk-show host seemed to gulp, and then replied:

" If you really can demonstrate all that, you probably can deny

George Bush a second term in 2004. "

 

Two things became apparent in that exchange:

1) Even a well-educated, intelligent radio commentator

was unaware of some of this information; and,

2) Once presented with it, this conservative icon understood

immediately the implications of what would happen

if the American voting public found out about these policies.

THE ROVING EYE

This war is brought to you by ...

By Pepe Escobar Asia Times Mar 20, 2003

www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/EC20Ak07.html

They've won. They got their war against Afghanistan (planned before

Sep. 11). They're getting their war against Iraq (planned slightly

after September 11). After Iraq, they plan to get their wars against

Syria, Lebanon, Iran and Saudi Arabia. Last Sunday, one of them,

Vice President Dick Cheney, said that President George W Bush

would have to make " a very difficult decision " on Iraq.

Not really.

The decision had already been taken for him in the autumn of 2001. ....

An Asia Times Online investigation reveals this is no conspiracy theory:

it's all about the implementation of a project.

 

The lexicon of the Bush doctrine of unilateral world domination is

laid out in detail by the Project for a New American Century (PNAC),

founded in Washington in 1997. The ideological, political, economic

and military fundamentals of American foreign policy - and uncontested

world hegemony - for the 21st century are there for all to see.

 

PNAC's credo is officially to muster " the resolve to shape a new

century favorable to American principles and interests " . PNAC states

that the US must be sure of " deterring any potential competitors

from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role "

- without ever mentioning these competitors,

the European Union, Russia or China, by name.

The UN is predictably dismissed as " a forum for leftists,

anti-Zionists and anti-imperialists " .

The UN is only as good as it supports American policy.

The PNAC mixes a peculiar brand of messianic internationalism with r

ealpolitik founded over a stark analysis of American oil interests. ...

 

These exponents include Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary

Donald Rumsfeld, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz,

Richard Perle, chairman of the Defense Policy Board, an advisory panel

to the Pentagon made up of leading figures in national security

and defense, Florida Governor Jeb Bush

and Reagan-era White House adviser Elliott Abrahms.

The 'Right' Way To Dominate The World

Harley Sorensen, Special to SF Gate

Monday, September 30, 2002

SF Gate

URL: http://sfgate.com/columnists/sorensen/

 

If you like conspiracies, you'll love an article in the Sept. 15

Sunday Herald (Glasgow, Scotland). In the article, author Neil Mackay

reveals a plan by the Bush administration to take over the world.

 

Mackay doesn't say that Bush plans to take over the world, but the

plan he cites gives that impression.

The plan was drawn up and published by a conservative think tank known

as " The Project for the New American Century. " It was published in

Sep. 2000, before Bush was elected president. According to another

report, this one in The Moscow Times, an outline of the plan was drawn

up much earlier, in 1992, when George H.W. Bush was president and

anticipating re-election.

The team that drew up the first version was headed by Dick Cheney,

then secretary of defense and flushed with success over the Gulf War.

Others involved included Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Zalmay

Khalilzad ( " special envoy " to Afghanistan), John Ellis ( " Jeb " ) Bush,

and I. Lewis ( " Scooter " ) Libby (Cheney's current chief of staff). (In

the strange, interconnected world of Washington, Lewis also was an

attorney for Marc Rich, whose pardon by President Bill Clinton drew

the ire of Republicans.)

What I'm calling the plan to take over the world was titled

" Rebuilding America's Defenses -- Strategy, Forces and Resources

For a New Century. " The think tank that wrote it is headed by

William Kristol, often seen on television as a conservative commentator.

 

According to a Sept. 17 editorial in The Charleston Gazette, Kristol

was paid $100,000 a year by Enron, the troubled energy broker.

The think tank grew out of the New Citizenship Project, which was

funded by the conservative Bradley Foundation, a part of Rockwell

Automation, a former defense contractor.

These convoluted relationships remind me of the laughter and derision

that greeted Hillary Clinton when she referred to " a vast right-wing

conspiracy. "

In any event, Hillary's husband gets mentioned often, and always

derisively, in the " take over the world " plan. He is repeatedly

accused of " degrading " America's defenses. George W. Bush, when he

was running for president, made the same accusations. Then, when

elected, he submitted the same military budget that Clinton had

previously submitted.

 

It wasn't until after Sept. 11, 2001, that Bush asked Congress for

more military spending. Our military budget, by the way, is bigger

than that of " the next eight spenders combined, and 22 times

the combined military budgets of our fiercest enemies -

- Libya, North Korea, Cuba, Iraq and Sudan, " according to an article

by Frida Berrigan, a research associate at the World Policy

Institute's Arms Trade Policy Center,

posted on commondreams.org.

 

According to the CIA, the U.S. military budget in 1999 was $276.7 billion.

Compare that with the military spending plans of the United Kingdom

($36.9 billion), China ($12.6 billion), France ($39.8 billion) and

Iceland ($0).

And, incidentally, we're told our service people now fighting in

Afghanistan are part of the world's best-ever fighting machine, but

that very same machine was said to be in dangerous disrepair by George

W. Bush when he was running for office and by the authors of the

" take over the world " plan. In essence, the " take over the world " plan

says we should be equipped to fight and win multiple simultaneous wars

in widely separated parts of the world.

 

It suggests that we should move into the Gulf region and control

the flow of oil, particularly in Iraq, even if Saddam Hussein ceases

to exist.

 

The Moscow Times article on the plan compares it with " Mein Kampf. "

 

I'd be the last person to compare anyone with Hitler, but I have to

admit that the plan drawn up by the Cheney people -- for whichever

Bush happened to be in power at the time -- reads in some respects

remarkably like " Mein Kampf. "

It has the same kind of arrogance, the sense that we are right

and everyone else is wrong, the unquestioned belief that only our

great nation is capable of leading all the lesser nations out of the

wilderness.

It goes further than that, hinting broadly that only the conservative

members of our government can be trusted to lead the world safely

to an American-dominated planet.

The plan is very dry reading and 90 pages long, but I suggest you scan

it if you have the time. If you read between the lines, you'll

conclude - - as I have -- that we're going to invade Iraq no matter what.

Our leaders believe it's our destiny to control the world.

Global Eye -- Dark Passage

By Chris Floyd

Not since " Mein Kampf " has a geopolitical punch been

so blatantly telegraphed, years ahead of the blow.

 

Adolf Hitler clearly spelled out his plans to destroy the Jews

and launch wars of conquest to secure German domination

of world affairs in his 1925 book, long before he ever assumed power.

Despite the zigzags of rhetoric he later employed, the various PR

spins and temporary justifications offered for this or that particular

policy, any attentive reader of his vile regurgitation could have

divined his intentions as he drove his country -- and the world -- to

murderous upheaval.

 

— Similarly in method, if not entirely in substance - the Bush

Regime's foreign policy is also being carried out according to a

strict blueprint written years ago, then renewed a few months before

the Regime was installed in power by the judicial coup of December 2000.

The first version, mentioned in passing here last week, was drafted

by a team operating under then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney in 1992.

It set out a new doctrine for U.S. power in the 21st century, an

aggressive, unilateral approach that would secure American domination

of world affairs -

- " by force if necessary, " as one of the acolytes put it.

— When the Dominators were temporarily ousted from government

after 1992, they continued their strategic planning with funding from

the military-energy-security apparatus and right-wing foundations.

 

This culminated in a new group, the aptly-named

Project for a New American Century (PNAC).

Members included hard-right players like Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld,

Paul Wolfowitz, Zalmay Khalilzad (now " special envoy " to the satrapy

of Afghanistan) and other empire aspirants currently perched

in the upper reaches of government power.

In September 2000, PNAC updated the original Cheney plan in a

published report, " Strengthening America's Defenses. " In this and

related documents, the earlier precepts were reiterated and refined.

 

The plans called for unprecedented hikes in military spending,

the plantation of American bases in Central Asia and the Middle East,

the toppling of recalcitrant regimes,

the militarization of outer space,

the abrogation of international treaties,

the willingness to use nuclear weapons and control of the world's

energy resources. And the present course of action was clearly set forth:

 

" The United States has for decades sought to play a more

permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved

conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need

for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf

transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein. "

 

But Iraq is just a stepping stone. Iran is next -

- indeed, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the PNAC team say that Iran is

" perhaps a far greater threat " to U.S. oil hegemony.

Other nations will follow, including Russia and China.

In one way or another -- by military means or economic dominance,

by conquest, alliance or silent acquiescence -

- they must all be brought to heel, forcibly prevented from

" challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or

global role. "

 

These texts spring from the Dominators' quasi-religious cult of

" American exceptionalism, " the belief in the unique and utter

goodness of the American soul -- embodied chiefly by the nation's

moneyed elite, of course -- and the irredeemable, metaphysical evil of

all those who would oppose or criticize the elite's righteous (and

conveniently self-serving) policies.

 

— Anyone still " puzzled " over the Bush Regime's behavior need

only look to these documents for enlightenment. They have long

been available to the media -- which accepted Bush's transparent

campaign lies about a " more humble foreign policy " at face value -

- but have only now started attracting wider notice, in the New Yorker

magazine this spring, and this week in the Glasgow Sunday Herald.

 

— The documents explain America's relentless march across Afghanistan,

Central Asia and soon into the Middle East. They explain the Bush

Regime's otherwise unfathomable rejection of international law,

its fanatical devotion to so-called missile defense, its gargantuan

increases in military spending -- even its antediluvian energy policy,

which mandates the continued primacy of oil and gas in the world economy.

(They can't conquer the sun or monopolize the wind, so there's no

profit, no leverage for personal gain and geopolitical power in

pursuing viable alternatives to oil.) The Sept. 11 attacks gave the

Regime a pretext for greatly accelerating this published program of

global dominance, but they would have pursued it in any case.
