Bush built himself and the U.N. a box that it will be hard to get out of.’ - GARY SCHMITT Initially organized as the Committee for the Present Danger played critical roles in the mid-1970s in killing détente with the Soviet Union Project for a New American Century Since 1997, their extra-governmental guise has been the Project for a New American Century (PNAC). Like the Committee on the Present Danger 25 years ago, this group--whose two dozen founding members included Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Libby, and Abrams--sees its main enemies as the same pin-striped set at the State Department; overly cautious and conservative military brass; and intelligence analysts who believe that facts should not be tailored to suit policy preferences or paranoia.fpif.org "Hawk take aim at Iraq" 11/30/01 -"It's all but official.

This group includes people who hold important positions in the Bush administration, including Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Vice-President Dick Cheney's chief of staff Lewis Libby, top Bush aide Elliott Abrams, Defence Under secretary Douglas Feith, Defence Policy Board chief Richard Perle, and Florida Governor Jeb Bush, the president's brother. Astonishingly, the letter asked President Bush to attack Iraq "even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the (September 11) attack." This being the state of mind of some of the top Bush officials, one wonders what chances the world coalition has of staying together for a successful completion of the operation in Afghanistandawn.com The evil-doers have the ear of the President:gannettonline.com ********************* END LINKS MIRROR: Message 17998586 Message 17998674
