Blind loyalty to bad leadership is not patriotism.
The Project for the New American Century is a non-profit educational
organization dedicated to a few fundamental propositions: that American
leadership is good both for America and for the world; and that such
leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to
moral principle.

Bush planned Iraq 'regime change' before becoming President
By Neil Mackay
A SECRET blueprint for US global domination reveals that President
Bush and his cabinet were planning a premeditated attack on Iraq to secure
'regime change' even before he took power in January 2001.
The blueprint, uncovered by the Sunday Herald, for the creation of a
'global Pax Americana' was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice- president),
Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy),
George W Bush's younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of
staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies,
Forces And Resources For A New Century, was written in September 2000 by the
neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the
Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says: '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.' 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'.
This 'American grand strategy' must be advanced for 'as far into the
future as possible', the report says. It also calls for the US to 'fight and
decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars' as a 'core
mission'.
The report describes American armed forces abroad as 'the cavalry on
the new American frontier'. 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'.
The PNAC report also: l refers to key allies such as the UK as 'the
most effective and efficient means of exercising American global
leadership'; l describes peace-keeping missions as 'demanding American
political leadership rather than that of the United Nations'; l reveals
worries in the administration that Europe could rival the USA; l says 'even
should Saddam pass from the scene' bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will
remain permanently -- despite domestic opposition in the Gulf regimes to the
stationing of US troops -- as 'Iran may well prove as large a threat to US
interests as Iraq has'; l spotlights China for 'regime change' saying 'it is
time to increase the presence of American forces in southeast Asia'. This,
it says, may lead to 'American and allied power providing the spur to the
process of democratisation in China'; l calls for the creation of 'US Space
Forces', to dominate space, and the total control of cyberspace to prevent
'enemies' using the internet against the US; l hints that, despite
threatening war against Iraq for developing weapons of mass destruction, the
US may consider developing biological weapons -- which the nation has
banned -- in decades to come. It says: 'New methods of attack -- electronic,
'non-lethal', biological -- will be more widely available ... combat likely
will take place in new dimensions, in space, cyberspace, and perhaps the
world of microbes ... advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target'
specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror
to a politically useful tool'; l and pinpoints North Korea, Libya, Syria and
Iran as dangerous regimes and says their existence justifies the creation of
a 'world-wide command-and-control system'.
Tam Dalyell, the Labour MP, father of the House of Commons and one of
the leading rebel voices against war with Iraq, said: 'This is garbage from
right-wing think-tanks stuffed with chicken-hawks -- men who have never seen
the horror of war but are in love with the idea of war. Men like Cheney, who
were draft-dodgers in the Vietnam war.
'This is a blueprint for US world domination -- a new world order of
their making. These are the thought processes of fantasist Americans who
want to control the world. I am appalled that a British Labour Prime
Minister should have got into bed with a crew which has this moral
standing.'
You should do a search for "Bush + Aranco", "Cheney + Aranco", "Barbara
Administration + Aramco". You'd be surprised.

Bzzzt. Bushco lied about WMDs that he new didn't exist. Oz had nothing to
do
with it.
Our President was acting on bad intell, he did not lie. You can not
tell a lie unless you know you are not telling the truth. The WMD were
smuggled in Syria
Geeze if countries like OZ spent the 290 million they took in bribes
from Saddam and used that money for intell into WMD then perhaps the
truth would have been discovered sooner.
BTW IMO WMD had nothing to do with the justification of taking out
Saddam

Now Oz'es monopoly grain export company AWB faces the loss of its
67-year-old government-sanctioned stranglehold on exports after the
Cole report into the company's $290 million in kickbacks to Iraq this
week recommended possible criminal charges against 11 former executives
and an oil businessman.
Sorry *******s helped Saddam snub his nose at UN sanctions after the
first gulf war. If these traitors did not help Saddam then perhaps the
war would not have been needed. Perhaps sanctions would have worked.
