The Fate of the New American Century

February 11th, 2007 Posted in Of Interest

From the frighteningly titled Project for the New American Century June 3, 1997:

American foreign and defense policy is adrift…. We aim to change this.

And change it they did. Code-name: “hubris”. And aptly, here is the fate of the Project as an organization:

PNAC now only has one employee and is seen as nearly defunct.

Compare what one of my readers calls the Project for the New British Century, as described by Barry Lando:

Rear Admiral Sir Edmond Slade wrote in a report to the British
admiralty in 1918, “It is evident that the Power that controls the oil
lands of Persia and Mesopotamia will control the source of supply of the
majority of the liquid fuel of the future.” Britain must therefore “at
all costs retain [its] hold on the Persian and Mesopotamian oil fields.”

It’s still unclear to me why they hate us. I remember — it’s not because of a century of brutality, but because “they” are crazy islamofascists.
