need a link to PNAC's pre-9/11 "new Pearl Harbor" statement

[wli]

Any URL to their statement or a mirror thereof would be much appreciated. I'm having a tough time digging it up via google.

Thanks.

4. Page 63 of 90.

"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor."


Only Greedy Monsters Can Be Such Ev~o~il Gangsters... :grr:

Halliburton (+284%) = Their Sick "Revolutionary 9/11" Goals! :mad:

2. It's always taken out of context

Per Wikipedia:

A line frequently quoted from Rebuilding America's Defenses famously refers to the possibility of a "catastrophic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor" (page 51). This quote is part of a discussion about military use of information technologies, where the report asserts that full transformation to new technologies is likely to be a slow process unless some "catalyzing" event causes the military to upgrade more quickly. Despite this context, some opponents of the Bush administration use this quote as evidence for their belief in the conspiracy theory that the US Government was complicit in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. See the article 9/11 domestic conspiracy theory for further information on this topic. Many critics also claim that the PNAC believed this "new Pearl Harbor" would justify war on Iraq, but there is no evidence in the report to back up this assertion.

3. not "conspiracy theory," rather motive, means, and opportunity

This is what makes them suspects, and very legitimately so. And until the coverup stops, all one can do is judge which suspects are most likely.

5. Even Wikipedia can be wrong. N/T

9. I have never taken it out of context. It is quite clear what they are

saying. How fortunate things were sped up for the authors, so they could bring All Their Plans in Rebuilding to fruition. They are even working on the insane Space Force........

Rebuilding is a plan for US domination of the earth, outer and inner space. I wonder if these sociopaths spent their teens playing Risk? Notice at the end of Risk you don't have to have an after war plan, just like these crazies didn't have one for Iraq.

6. this paragraph from the "statement of principles" says nearly the same

"Of course, the United States must be prudent in how it exercises its power. But we cannot safely avoid the responsibilities of global leadership or the costs that are associated with its exercise. America has a vital role in maintaining peace and security in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite challenges to our fundamental interests. The history of the 20th century should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire. The history of this century should have taught us to embrace the cause of American leadership."

7. If a person who wasn't in office now had said the same,

Specifically, if a heavily-armed right-wing militia group in the US said publicly that a "new Pearl Harbor" was needed to rebuild America's defenses, would you investigate them in connection to 9/11?

8. It's on their web page in their statement of goals/ mission

statement I think.
