PNAC is one of Austy and the lefties conspiracy theories. Like Borillas Skull and Bones (He hates Yale University).

so colin, when you hear & see with your own eyes, the sentiments of the 'claimed' PNAC expressed by the following persons; they are just "theories".
The oppinions expressed on the web site I posted are consistent with opinions I have witnesed from some of these people.
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. Lewis Libby Norman Podhoretz
Dan Quayle Peter W. Rodman Stephen P. Rosen Henry S. Rowen Donald Rumsfeld Vin Weber George Weigel Paul Wolfowitz.
Do they have another agenda at hand, other than the 'good' of USA.

I'm glad you bumped this thread up front. Shows who some of the pro-Socialists are, and how they felt.
It's nice to go back a month or so and compare what they said then and now. Not that it's changed too much but they have toned down a bit. Especially now that the country supports the President.
Chances are they still don't see any connection with Iraq and 9/11.
Amen,

No, I still haven't seen any connection between 9-11 and Iraq, besides the most tenous kind, as in Colin Powell's assertion that Bin Laden calling Saddam Hussein an infidel on the last tape proved they were co-horts, or that Saddam Hussein pays the families of Palestinian suicide bombers (those are other terrorists). It would be like discovering that Saddam Hussein gave money to the IRA and saying that was a link to Osama bin Laden too, 'cause they're all terrorists.
I watched Fox News for the first time in a long time the other night, and I see now why so many people think there's a connection. They show Iraq war reports with a banner underneath that says "War on Terror." The government's largely successful attempt to link Iraq with 9-11 in the public perception is one of the neatest propoganda campaigns in history.
It's weird. I saw, on some news channel, can't remember which one, a brief interview with a young soldier in Iraq (Kuwait?) and he was referring to why they were fighting in Iraq and he said something like - We had to come over here to fight them, we didn't want to but they shouldn't have come over to the U.S. and done what they did.
But the "they" who came over here are not the "they" that he's over there fighting, and even if you did believe that Saddam Hussein was connected to some kind of behind-the-scenes support of Bin Laden (and I don't believe that), that still doesn't translate into any "they" in Iraq... except in this guy's mind, and lots of other peoples' minds, I guess, where it's all perfectly clear.
But, now this idea has been firmly embedded in a large part of the public consciousness, and nothing is going to dislodge it.

I was listening to the news and Sept. 11 was casually mentioned and I remembered something. For days after the horrific attacks, almost all the I-5 overhead bridges in Washington state were covered with people waving flags. There were large flags hanging from the bridges. And some people just waving. Signs saying, "We Love New York."
Where did these people go? Now I see nothing - or I see protestors. Are we afraid to remember we are Americans and we should stand tall because of it? I had one person say to me, "Well, the 9/11 attack wasn't from Iraq so why should I support this war?" Because it's the same mentality that attacked us on Sept. 11. It's the same brutality that attacked innocent people and made us start living differently. We're living in a different world now. Some of our freedoms have been altered because of these people. Should we let them kill more of our friends and eliminate more of our comfort in our homeland? It would be sick if we did so.
Bravo to all the brave men who are fighting. Courage to all the families left home. May God watch over you all.
) but what the hell does PNAC mean?
