A Policy of Dominance
Its good to know the enemy. The Project for a New American Century wrote the referenced report back in Sept. 2000. Read the whole 80 pages if you can stand it. Here is a gem from page 51 of their report:
Control of space and cyberspace. Much as control of the high seas – and the protection of international commerce – defined global powers in the past, so will control of the new “international commons” be a key to world power in the future. An America incapable of protecting its interests or that of its allies in space or the “infosphere” will find it difficult to exert global political leadership.
Is this what Gore was referring to when he spoke of a policy of Dominance. Makes you feel all warm and squishy and safe don't it?
Who are the founding members of this fringe group? Here they are:
Elliott Abrams, Gary Bauer, William J. Bennett, Jeb Bush, Dick Cheney, Eliot A. Cohen, Midge Decter, Paula Dobriansky, Steve Forbes, Aaron Friedberg, Francis Fukuyama, Frank Gaffney, Fred C. Ikle, Donald Kagan, Zalmay Khalilzad, I. "Scooter" Lewis Libby, Norman Podhoretz, Dan Quayle, Peter W. Rodman, Stephen P. Rosen, Henry S. Rowen, Donald Rumsfeld, Vin Weber, George Weigel and Paul Wolfowitz
Wow a virtual who's who of Bush administration thugs. Do you think they have any pull?
