  Project for the New American Century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PNAC and its members had long called for the United States to abandon the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty between the US and the Soviet Union, from which the US withdrew in 2002.
The PNAC also proposes to control the new "international commons" of space and "cyberspace" and pave the way for the creation of a new military service—U.S. Space Forces—with the mission of space control.
PNAC argues that the current Cold War deployment of forces is obsolete and that force deployment must reflect the post-Cold War duties that the US forces have been called upon to perform.

PNAC's credo is officially to muster "the resolve to shape a new century favorable to American principles and interests".
Horrified by the "debased" Bill Clinton, PNAC exponents lavishly praise "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".
Kristol's co-chairman at the PNAC is Robert Kagan, former deputy for policy in the State Department in the bureau for Inter-American affairs.

 Chris Floyd 2/23/03 - American dominance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
PNAC was formed in 1997, with a roster of conservative heavy-hitters, many of whom are now major players in the Bush administration.
PNAC fired its first shot across the bow in 1998, with letters to President Clinton and congressional leaders calling for regime change in Iraq, by force if necessary, and the establishment of a strong U.S. military presence in the region.
He stated that no global rival would be allowed even the "hope of surpassing or equaling the power of the United States" and pledged that America would maintain its "global leadership" through "the unparalleled strength of the United States armed forces and their forward presence" around the world.

PNAC is staffed by men who previously served with groups like Friends of the Democratic Center in Central America, which supported America's bloody gamesmanship in Nicaragua and El Salvador, and with groups like The Committee for the Present Danger, which spent years advocating that a nuclear war with the Soviet Union was "winnable."
PNAC has recently given birth to a new group, The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, which met with National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice in order to formulate a plan to "educate" the American populace about the need for war in Iraq.
PNAC's "Rebuilding America's Defenses" report is the institutionalization of plans and ideologies that have been formulated for decades by the men currently running American government.

 AEI-PNAC
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.
The names of every prominent PNAC member were on a letter delivered to President Clinton in 1998 which castigated him for not implementing the Act by driving troops into Baghdad.
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.

PNAC may be trying to take over the world for the benefit of wealthy few, but the right in Canada, including large and influential parts of our Liberal party, is all too willing to cheer them on.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Focus | A beginner's guide to PNAC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Many of the key supporters of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) entered the White House along with George W Bush in 2000, and have been instrumental in designing and launching the war on terror in general, and the occupation of Iraq in particular.
Their major work as PNAC can be found in two books, Present Dangers, which was published in 2000 to support Bush's election campaign, and Rebuilding America's Defenses, which came out the same year.
PNAC's ideas are now much less persuasive to the American public as a whole, and also probably to people like Condoleezza Rice, and maybe even George W Bush.

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.
The men from PNAC are in a perfect position to see their foreign policy schemes, hatched in 1997, brought into reality.
Another PNAC signatory, author Norman Podhoretz, quantified this aspect of the grand plan in the September 2002 issue of his journal, 'Commentary'.

 How We Got Into This Imperial Pickle:
This PNAC group was led by such heavy hitters as Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, James Woolsey, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Bill Kristol, James Bolton, Zalmay M. Khalilzad, William Bennett, Dan Quayle, Jeb Bush, most of whom were movers-and-shakers in previous Administrations, then in power-exile, as it were, while Clinton was in the White House.
(PNAC's chairman, Bill Kristol, is the editor of Rupert Murdoch's The Weekly Standard.) In short, PNAC had a lock on military policy-creation in the Bush Administration.
No, friends, the PNAC boys are dangerous ideologues playing with matches, and the U.S. is going to get burned even more in years to come, unless their hold on power is broken.

PNAC followed up its statement of principles with a number of studies and sign-on letters, most of which were aimed at pressuring the Clinton administration and Congress into pursuing hawkish and interventionist policies regarding overseas conflicts, arms budgets, and relations with rogue regimes.
All that was required was a dramatic jolt to the nation's psyche--like a devastating terrorist strike inside the country's borders.
Nine days after the terrorist attacks, PNAC released an open-letter to President Bush applauding his newly declared war on terrorism and urging the president to take action against Osama Bin Laden as well as a number of other "perpetrators," including Saddam Hussein and Hezbollah.

 PNAC and the second Gulf War - Neo-Conservatives in the USA
PNAC stands for The Project for the New American Century and it's a right wing think-tank that includes some very influential members of the Bush administration, including Dick Cheney (vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), Jeb Bush (George Bush's younger brother) and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff).
The PNAC document supports a 'blueprint for maintaining global US pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests'.
The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document written by Wolfowitz and Libby that said the US must 'discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role'.
