28. It can be done in the form of a 527 ad along the lines of ....
"Hijacking Catastrophe". Show the actual documents with certain sections highlighted:

In "The Wolfowitz Doctrine" from NYT

"...access to vital raw materials, primarily Persian Gulf Oil"

(I think there are PNAC documents mentioning this as well.)

In "Rebuilding America's Defenses" from PNAC, 2000

"increase budget $100 billion"
"boldly and purposefully promote American principles abroad"
"shape circumstances before crises arise"
eliminate "states like Iraq"

"the process..of revolutionary change is likely to be a long one"
"absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor"

"a willingness to undertake military action...remove Saddam Hussein from power"

Then show the signatory page highlighting signatures of key Pentagon and State Dept officials:

Elliot Abrams
Richard L. Armitage
John Bolton
Salmay Khalilzad
Richard Perle
Donald Rumsfeld
Paul Wolfowitz

The underlying message should be that this strategy may be increasing terrorism against the U.S. It may have even provided the 9/11 attackers with more conviction.
