Secret Document: Bush Supporters Planned Iraq Attack Before Election
A secret blueprint for world domination prepared for top associates of
George Bush over a month before the 2000 presidential election called
for an attack on Iraq and outlined actions designed to create a "Pax
Americana."
This is the startling charge leveled by Australia's Sunday Herald,
which reports that the document obtained by the newspaper shows that
the Bush administration came into office determined to pursue policies
that would allow America to control the destiny of the world.
Writing in the Herald, Neil Mackay reports that the document was drawn
up for Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz (now Rumsfeld's
deputy), Gov. Jeb Bush and Lewis Libby (now Cheney's chief of staff).
Mackay wrote that the document, entitled "Rebuilding America's
Defenses: Strategies, Forces And Resources for Aa New Century," was
written in September 2000 by the secretive think tank "Project for the
New American Century [PNAC]."
According to the PNAC document, the plan envisions the new
administration taking military control of the Gulf region whether or
not Saddam Hussein is in power.
It states:
"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 document calls for a "blueprint for maintaining global U.S.
pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping
the international security order in line with American principles and
interests" and adds that the strategy must be advanced for "as far
into the future as possible."
It also calls for the U.S. to "fight and decisively win multiple,
simultaneous major theatre wars" as a "core mission."
The Herald says that the document describes American armed forces
abroad as "the cavalry on the new American frontier."
The PNAC blueprint is similar to the infamous 46-page Wolfowitz
memorandum written in 1992 that said the U.S. must "discourage
advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even
aspiring to a larger regional or global role."
Asserting that U.S. security requires that the United States tolerate
no rivals to its global dominance, Wolfowitz wrote, "the new regional
defense strategy requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile
power from dominating a region whose resources would, under
consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power. These
regions include Western Europe, East Asia, the territory of the former
Soviet Union, and Southwest Asia."
The memo has been described as nothing less than a plan to create a
U.S world empire.
The PNAC report goes on to make the following recommendations or
observations:
Key allies such as the United Kingdom are "the most effective and
efficient means of exercising American global leadership";
Peace-keeping missions must be seen as "demanding American political
leadership rather than that of the United Nations";
Europe could rival the U.S.A.;
It says that "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 U.S. troops - as
"Iran may well prove as large a threat to U.S. interests as Iraq has";
It targets 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";
It calls for the creation of "US Space Forces" to dominate space, and
the total control of cyberspace to prevent "enemies" from using the
Internet against the U.S.;
Shockingly, it hints that, despite threatening war against Iraq for
developing weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. 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";
It pinpoints North Korea, Libya, Syria and Iran (two of the three
"axis of evil" nations) as dangerous regimes and says their existence
justifies the creation of a "world-wide command-and-control system."
It should be emphasized that, according to the Herald, the document
was written "for" the present Bush administration Cabinet members,
which does not necessarily mean they either sought or agreed with its
recommendations.
But it is eerily similar to current or planned U.S activities on the
world stage and the grandiose worldview of the Wolfowitz memorandum.
