Follow links for greater depth.
The official story on Iraq has never made sense. The connection that the Bush administration has tried to draw between Iraq and al-Qaida has always seemed contrived and artificial. In fact, it was hard to believe that smart people in the Bush administration would start a major war based on such flimsy evidence.

The pieces just didn't fit. Something else had to be going on; something was missing.

In recent days, those missing pieces have finally begun to fall into place. As it turns out, this is not really about Iraq. It is not about weapons of mass destruction, or terrorism, or Saddam, or U.N. resolutions.

This war, should it come, is intended to mark the official emergence of the United States as a full-fledged global empire, seizing sole responsibility and authority as planetary policeman. It would be the culmination of a plan 10 years or more in the making, carried out by those who believe the United States must seize the opportunity for global domination, even if it means becoming the "American imperialists" that our enemies always claimed we were.

Once that is understood, other mysteries solve themselves. For example, why does the administration seem unconcerned about an exit strategy from Iraq once Saddam is toppled?

which also said that this march to world domination needed a tragic catalyst. Sorry, but I don't believe the official story of what happened on 911. It fits too neatly into their plans.

2. thank you - I wish DU'ers would do more homework on this

If they want to argue against all us 911 so-called conspiracy nuts I suggest they punch holes in this first:

4. What? We won't be leaving?!

Say it ain't so. So you've discovered PNAC - tell your friends. It never ceases to amaze me that people don't just figure it out all by themselves, just sitting around watching Fox, because it's beyond obvious at a glance. But sometimes knowing about PNAC helps the figuring along.

5. No I haven't just discovered the PNAC

I'm posting this because it was one of the more well written articles on the subject and it provided a great deal of sources.

I will agree w/ you that more people can see through their transparancy - especially when they don't even try to hide any of their agendas

It's amazing how clueless many DUers are on the subject. First, they will start ranting conspiracy nut when someone starts posting things about 911 being a fabricated event. Then, an article will get posted on DU about an Iranian woman getting stoned to death and the post will get about 400+ horrified responses. 5 out of 400 responses will see through the pathetic propaganda attempt.

Agreed on the quality of the article.

8. I think you give them too much credit

The rationale is not idealistic. Its baser than that. It was a way to divert attention from failure on 9/11 and the economy, and retain power.

[clem_c_rock]

9. The motivation to do all this has to have some idealism behind it

I don't buy the idea that these guys are doing all this just for power and egos. Power, egos, and idealism.

I'm also not buying the excuse that everything is a failure w/ good intentions.

This excuse is used for everything.

10. Whatever they planned, it has failed miserably. (nt)

12. and dangerously

probably one of the biggest fuckups in history.

11. Those who don't learn from history are condemned to relive it.

Every nation that has ever tried to dominate the planet has fallen.

These guys just don't get it.
