PNAC Revisited 1

The Project for a New American Century produced "Rebuilding America's Defenses" in the late 1990's. This document became known as the "PNAC" document. We like to call it simply "PNAC" (pee-knack). The whole crew of neo-conservatives, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith, Libby, Kristol, even Jeb Bush, Dan Quayle (yes that Dan Quayle), and many many more signed on. In fact the document has been the underlying framework of the George W Bush Administration since many neo-conservatives where brought into positions of elite power through the election of George Bush.

Here is a quote from the document, I will post more in the future. Please keep in mind that this was signed by our present Vice-President, Dick Cheney, and our present Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld.

Here PNAC is talking about future weapons for our military:
"And advanced forms of biological warfare that can "target" specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool." "Rebuilding America's Defenses" by the Project for a New American Century, page 60, left column

Comment: Understand what they want to create, a biological weapon that will attack particular ethnic groups, for example a weapon that can wipe out those of African heritage. Does this strike you as a less than sane idea? What I also find to be particularly bizarre here, is that this weapon is a "politically useful tool." Please take note of the deliberate word usage where a hideous diabolical weapon is transformed into the realm of "tool." All humanistic concerns are avoided as we wrap the diabolical weapon in the term "tool." Can you find any examples in our present political situation where you find the same manipulation of language? Perhaps it is a phrase that puts a smiley face on a bleak situation?
