Bush Insiders Plan for a New American Empire
(from Utne Reader – Top 10 Censored Stories of 2003)
An obscure think tank called the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), founded in the early ’90′s by Reagan-era hawks such as William Kristol, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Richard Perle, served as the incubator for George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq, according to reports by Harper’s, Mother Jones, and British journalist, John Pilger. Among the goals of the PNAC are permanent U.S. military dominance in the world and control of world markets – particularly the oil market. To this end, the hawks had targeted oil-rich Iraq for “regime change” long before last year’s debate on Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction.

Deep Thought: If you’re in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at some guys, throw one of those little baby-type pumpkins. Maybe it’ll make everyone think of how crazy war is, and while they’re thinking, you can throw a real grenade.
Today I am grateful for: Free office coffee

Thank you for posting this…
You got that right.
Wonder who censored them? Freedom of the press is guaranteed in the first amendment.
Oh I think censored just means hardly any of us read about it because the main media doesn’t print this information. Not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Because they are owned by corporations friendly to the administration.
