In a recent conversation, the 9-11 topic was approached. I have very different perceptions and have researched both sides of our current Administration. With opposing political views we battled, both of us utterly stubborn and unable to budge. I still love him, my surrogate father and friend. Below is an excerpt from the site I tried to have him look at before. It took me quite some time to find, as I have had many computer crashes since the original discussion. This website is listed under my political links and their research is amazing and hard to take. I knew my friend would shoot these things down so I followed the some of the many statements through to their original source. They stand up as once reported findings, common articles, suppressed, but once VERY PUBLIC. Although we have conflicting views, he raises valid points, through plumes of smoke and trips to the potty. Maybe we shouldn’t talk about these things, but I digress, he challenges me, as I hope, I also do him.
Here Socrates,
Do some alternate research.September 2000 The neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century writes a “blueprint” for the “creation of a ‘global Pax Americana’” (see also June 3, 1997). The document, titled, Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategies, Forces and Resources for a New Century, was written for the Bush team even before the 2000 Presidential election. It was written for future Vice President Cheney, future Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, future Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Florida Governor and President Bush’s brother Jeb Bush, and future Vice President Cheney’s Chief of Staff Lewis Libby. The report calls itself a “blueprint for maintaining global US preeminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests.” The plan shows that the Bush team intended to take military control of Persian Gulf oil whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power and should retain control of the region even if there is no threat. 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 report calls for the control of space through a new “US Space Forces,” the political control of the internet, the subversion of any growth in political power of even close allies, and advocates “regime change” in China, North Korea, Libya, Syria, Iran and other countries. It also mentions that “advanced forms of biological warfare that can ‘target’ specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.” (see also Spring 2001 and April 2001 (D)).

Sunday Herald (Glasgow), 9/7/2002;
Project for the New American Century, 9/2000 ] However, the report complains that these changes are likely to take a long time, “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor.” [Los Angeles Times, 1/12/2003] In an NBC interview at about the same time, Vice Presidential candidate Cheney defends Bush Jr.’s position of maintaining Clinton’s policy not to attack Iraq because the US should not act as though “we were an imperialist power, willy-nilly moving into capitals in that part of the world, taking down governments.” [
Washington Post, 1/12/2002] This report and the Project for the New American Century generally are mostly ignored until a few weeks before the start of the Iraq war (see February-March 20, 2003).
