PNAC is BACK? McCain's Neocons May be Breathing Life Back into the Organization

[DogPoundPup]

This is interesting. The Project for a New American Century -- the lilly pad for the neoconservative movement -- is back online.

For nearly a year, perhaps more, the site has been down. No one seems to have paid the bill to the internet site host. But it's back up.

Perhaps this is a sign that neoconservatives like Randy Scheunemann and others are looking at PNAC as a foundation from which to critique Obama foreign policy and national security moves.

1. They're waiting for Obama to create a surplus so they can steal it. Again.

I hope they don't attack my city next time.

2. He's deep in it

McCain also was co-chair (with Sen. Joseph Lieberman) of The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq (CLI). Established by PNAC in late 2002, this committee continued to finance Chalabi’s INC with millions of taxpayer dollars, until shortly after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, when it was discontinued. In 2004, McCain became a signatory of PNAC, ironically signing on to a PNAC letter condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin’s foreign policy for its return to the “rhetoric of militarism and empire.” Source: Truthdig
