If you carefully read the goals of the organization that was founded by just the people that Cheney picked for the administration it is apparent that Empire is the goal. Just read the official strategic goals released by Bush - it is to make sure that no other country is even remotely capable of challenging the U.S. and that all favors will be reserved for those countries that agree with the U.S. What is that if not Empire?

Project for the New American Century

The Statement of Principles of the ‘Project for the New American Century’ was signed, among over 20 others, by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz on 3 June 1997. The declared aim of this grouping is ‘to make the case and rally support for American global leadership’ and to provide a strategic vision and guiding principles for American foreign policy. In the Statement of Principles the need is postulated for America ‘to increase defense spending significantly’, ‘to strengthen our ties to democratic allies and to challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values’, ‘to promote the cause of political and economic freedom abroad’ and ‘to accept responsibility for America’s unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles’. Their main concern was, before September 11, whether ‘the United States have the resolve to shape a new century favorable to American principles and interests’.

it sounds like you are saying the losers win in the end

In simple terms, throughout history the peoples and states who are contemporary with an Empire, but are not included in the priveledge and power have within a few hundred years overthrown the empire. More than that, they leave no stone unturned and no family not slaughtered. It's not karma, its more revenge.
