Dear Mr. Russert:

In regards to this Sunday's scheduled interview, kindly ask Mr. G.W. Bush why his Administration is primarily populated by members of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC)? (Please refer to the following documentation if you are unfamiliar with this group.)

===================================================


In June 1997, the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) was born. Populated by influential Movers
of industry and Shakers of public opinion, the PNAC is an organization united in the vision for a global U.S.
empire - "Pax Americana" - through coercion and military domination. Their philosophy can be simply
summarized:

- There are countries to plunder and fortunes to be made. You have it, we want it. Do as we say or suffer the
consequences.
- The U.S. already has a powerful military but we plan to nurture and grow it until it's massive and we are
indominable. Resistance is futile. We are.......

Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Steve Forbes, William J. Bennett, Frank
Gaffney, and I. Lewis Libby, signator's - among others - of the PNAC's "Statement of Principles".

"We need to...challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values."

"We need to increase defense spending significantly if we are to carry out our global responsibilities
today and modernize our armed forces for the future."

"It is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge."

JANUARY 1998 - The PNAC knew that he who owns the oil also owns the world so they sent a letter to
President Clinton urging him to attack Iraq and remove Saddam Hussein from power since he put "a
significant portion of the world's supply of oil at hazard". Clinton didn't grant them their wish and the PNAC
was disheartened that they couldn't manipulate the military while outside of the White House power
structure.

MARCH - APRIL 1999 - In an effort to capture and control the castle and all its warriors and weapons, the
PNAC offered up members Steve Forbes, Dan Quayle and Gary Bauer to run as Republican candidates in
the upcoming Presidential election.

JUNE 1999 - Ever persistent and determined to maximize their potential for success in the Presidential
campaign, the PNAC exercised their power of nepotism and member-Jeb Bush's brother George stepped up
to the plate to join the race.

Assured that the White House would soon be theirs, the PNAC debuted their 76-page blueprint to achieve
world domination. "Rebuilding America's Defenses" became the PNAC's manifesto, detailing the ideal level
of military power to specifically eliminate the hostile regimes of Iraq, Iran, Syria and North Korea and it
endorsed pre-emptive strikes against them, tradition be damned. Iraq was given star billing as Control
Central for their Mideast base of operations.

"At present the United States faces no global rival. America’s grand strategy should aim to
preserve and extend this advantageous position as far into the future as possible."

"American landpower is the essential link in the chain that translates U.S. military supremacy into
American geopolitical preeminence.

"We cannot allow North Korea, Iran, Iraq or similar states to undermine American leadership."

"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."

What is particularly foreboding and chilling in view of events to later unfold, is this statement bemoaning the
lengthy process of rebuilding the existing U.S. military according to the heightened standards and
specifications the PNAC aspired to.

...the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long
one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."

DECEMBER 2000 - In a highly contentious Presidential vote battle on the home turf of PNAC-Jeb Bush,
the Supreme Court decided that George Bush was the new President.

Bush now had the green light to seamlessly merge members of the PNAC into his Administration with no one
the wiser. PNAC members elevated to the Bush hierarchy include, among others:

Donald Rumsfeld - Secretary of Defense
Paul Wolfowitz - Deputy Secretary of Defense
Elliott Abrams - Member of the National Security Council
John Bolton - Undersecretary for Arms Control and InternationalSecurity
Richard Perle - Chairman of the advisory Defense Policy Board
Richard Armitage - Deputy Secretary of State
John Bolton - Undersecretary of State for Disarmament
Zalmay Khalilzad - White House liaison to the Iraqi opposition

An Honorable Mention was awarded to Condoleezza Rice - National Security Advisor - who is a former
oil-company consultant having been on the board of directors of Chevron as its main expert on Kazakhstan.

The PNAC agenda had now passed "Go". The most powerful military machine in the world stood at their
ready and Saddam was in the crosshair.
