PNAC Again

This is a highly recommended article for those unfamiliar with the neo-cons and how they have affected the course of the US under the Bush administration.

Libby Trial Exposes Neocon Shadow Government By Sydney Schanberg

Its all there, straight forward and easy to follow.

excerpts:

1. "They came out in the open in 1997 when they formed a Washington think tank of their own—the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). Their first public act was a 1998 letter to President Bill Clinton, calling for the swift “removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime.”"

2. "Perhaps the eeriest sentence in the document is found on page 51, conjuring up images of 9/11: “The process of transformation … is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor.” (The PNAC documents can be found online at newamericancentury.org.)"

This eery sentence, has sent chills through the community. This is because a careful investigation of PNAC from the origins of its precursor right after WWII, through Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush I, up to its present incarnation, "the neo-conservatives", one will find a trail that legitimizes massive distortions and lying to the public, plots that involve killing American citizens while placing blame on other governments in order to coalesce public support for war, erosion of democratic rights, and the undeniable rise in fascism and corporate power. Sound familiar? That is just a tiny part of the story.

Could there possibly be any wonder why people are out there completely dissatisfied with the findings of the 9-11 commission?

One of the ugliest kickers about all of this? The fact that most mainstream Republicans are clueless about the neo-conservatives and their true bent. In spite of this Republicans will blindly and faithfully support and defend neo-conservative policies which blatantly go against Republican values!!! Such is the power of party loyalty.

Don't believe me? Just ask your Republican uncle about the neo-conservatives and PNAC. His answer, "you're a conspiracy nut."
