"In 2000, the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) issued a report that proposed establishing a new U.S.-led security perimeter across the globe to protect Western interests and perform the constabulary duties associated with shaping the security environment in critical regions.
The report, Rebuilding Americas Defenses, which suggested billions more in the Pentagon budget annually for reimagining military capabilities across the forces, including nuclear and space, was based in part on the Defense Policy Guidance, crafted by Paul Wolfowitz and Dick Cheney during the George H. W. Bush Administration for maintaining U.S. preeminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests.
The report noted that the process of transformation that PNAC envisioned, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing eventlike a new Pearl Harbor.
Good PNAC. Anything to pour hundreds of billions of $$$ to feed the MIC beast. Who cares if it blows up the national debt. Who cares if American blood is shed? After all, the Melon Felon thinks members of the military are "suckers". When Don Jr expressed an interest in signing up, the Donald said he would DISOWN him if he did. There aren't too many rich white kids in the military.
