Their Method
According to their own document, Rebuilding Americas
Defenses ( available in .pdf format on their website) their
stated goals would never be realized absent some catas-
trophic catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor. (page
52).
George W Bush, whose political career has been nearly
fully funded by the energy and defense industries was
appointed by the Supreme Court after the disputed elec-
tion of 2000. Immediately he appointed signatories of
PNAC documents to the top levels of the Whitehouse
and Pentagon.
It has now been proven that once Bush had all of his top
levels filled by the PNAC, that our guard against terrorist
attacks was let down.
Richard Clarke, whose position as terrorism czar
was promoted to a cabinet level position under
Clinton, was subsequently demoted from the cabi-
net and reassigned by Bush to other projects. Dick
Cheney himself, has said that Clarke was kept out
of the loop.
Paul ONeil, former Secretary of Treasury, has
stated that the Bush administration did not treat Al-
qaeda as an imminent threat.
The Bush administration ignored and denied the
existence of a presidential briefing entitled Bin
Laden determined to attack inside the United
Sates until it was revealed to the public.
The Bush administration needed a new Pearl Harbor to
implement the PNAC agenda and they let down their
guard until it occurred.
Their Goal: the neoconservative
agenda
Established in the spring of 1997 and funded largely
by the energy and arms industries, the Project
for the New American Century was founded
as the neoconservative think tank whose stated
goal was to usher in a new American century.
Having won the cold war and no military threat to
speak of, this group of ideologues created a blue-
print for the future whose agenda was to capitalize
upon our surplus of military forces and funds and
forcing American hegemony and corporate privati-
zation throughout the world. In their statement of
principles they outline a fourfold agenda:
Increase an already enormous military budget
at the expense of domestic social programs
Toppling of regimes resistant to our corpo-
rate interests
Forcing democracy at the barrel of a gun in
regions that have no history of the democ-
ratic process
Replacing the UNs role of preserving and
extending international order

What is the Project for the
New American Century?
The Aftermath

Knowing what we know today, the invasion of
Iraq was based on falsehoods and was an unneces-
sary and dangerous diversion from the effort to
reduce terrorist attacks on the United States.
Muslim anger at the United States is at an all time
high. Iraq posed no threat to us and the process of
containment was working. Most importantly, Iraq
is in chaos, on the brink of civil war, and now a
breeding ground for a hundred new Bin Ladens.

The PNAC members of our government told us
that it would be a cake walk. That we would be
greeted as liberators. That wed see parades in
the streets. Terribly undermanned, our military is
in the middle of a quagmire where only the best
case scenario was planned for.

The museums, the hospitals, the munitions de-
pots, were left unprotected at the onset of the
invasion. The ministry of oil was securely guarded.

Who has benefited from all of this at the expense
of over a thousand US soldiers lives and tens of
thousands of Iraqi civilian lives?
Halliburton, once headed by Vice President
Dick Cheney
Bechtel, once headed by Secretary of de-
fense Donald Rumsfeld
Trireme, a defense company started by
Deputy Secretary of Defense, Richard Perle
shortly before the invasion

And finally, one last question:

Where did the first oil tanker to leave Iraq after
the invasion go?

Answer: Texas
