Stripes letter: ‘Must-read’ writer a patriot (PNAC document)

‘Must-read’ writer a patriot

I read “Document is a must read” (letter, Sept. 20), about the Project for a New American Century (PNAC).

I was very pleased to see that there are still young officers thinking for themselves and looking deeper into the throes of our current political situation.

Two events brought PNAC into the mainstream of American government: the disputed election of George W. Bush, and the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. When Bush assumed the presidency, the men who created and nurtured the imperial dreams of PNAC became the men who run the Department of Defense and the White House. When the towers came down, these men saw their chance to turn their “White Papers” into substantive policy.

I have been aware of the Project for a New American Century for a long time now, but I have until recently kept my political views to myself.

The letter writer is right when he says this is a “must read” because that neo-conservative think tank has laid out the blueprints for our future, if they are to maintain control of our government and resources. They have counted on our collective complacency for years, and it is time to bring these issues to light. e as a people had better start becoming aware of what is really going on in D.C.

To the letter writer: Thank you for giving me hope in the officer corps. I hope that there are many more patriots like you who are not willing to subject themselves to a “group-think” mentality because if the “fit ever hits the shan,” we, the people, will be counting on soldiers like you to defend us from our own draconian government.

3. If you can, I'd add to your post the actual PNAC document that is being

referenced....I think that most people (myself included) have read it, but there are still lots of newbies that should read it as they are on this thread. (including the Freepers who even they could not possibly deny that this was the blueprint for their wetdream nightmare that Bush's Amerika represents).

5. good idea. Here's the PNAC document

Also, listen to Ray Taliafero on KGO Radio, who discusses PNAC and its significance frequently. He's archived for 24 hours, 1 - 5 a.m.

Interesting that the Stripes editors haven't included the URL for the PNAC document, now that it's been mentioned three times in Stripes letters. After all, it IS written by those who head our current government.
