Mission Accomplished? (Is PNAC closing its doors?)
The doors may be closing shortly on the nine-year-old Project for a New American Century, the neoconservative think tank headed by William Kristol , former chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle and now editor of the Weekly Standard, which is must reading for neocon cogitators and agitators.

The PNAC was short on staff—having perhaps a half-dozen employees—but very long on heavy hitters. The founders included Richard B. Cheney , Donald H. Rumsfeld , Paul D. Wolfowitz , Jeb Bush , I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby , William J. Bennett, Zalmay Khalilzad and Quayle.

The goal was to continue the Reaganite, muscular approach to projecting American power and “moral clarity” in a post-Cold War world, the group’s manifesto said. The targets were liberal drift and conservative isolationism.

PNAC and its supporters dominated the Bush administration’s foreign policy apparatus and championed a policy to get rid of Saddam Hussein long before Sept. 11, 2001.

1. They are NOT disappearing. You can be sure of that.
The mission is just morphing into another form.

6. When we take back the government
They should be hunted down and forcefully evicted from D.C. Perhaps to a reservation in the Dakotas or Oklahoma. Make 'em walk there; a modern trail of tears.

7. I would suggest a much harsher,more remote area. Perhaps not on this
planet.

3. Once the Bilderberg Group disperses
maybe they'll give us a complete disclosure of the meeting's minutes. NOT!!!

Not closing. They'll be hanging out a new shingle with a banner proclaiming "Under New Management" by August or so. But they won't be closing.

4. Merely changing their name.
Just look where all those assholes on that list congregate in the future, that's where they'll be.
