Wolfowitz and his 1992 Strategy of World Dominance: “The Defense Planning Guidance”

wolfowitz-ap-photo.jpg Nicole linked this article up once before, but I think it merits its own post. This document that was leaked to the NY Times back in 1992, explains in detail the Neocon wet dream of world domination. One wonders if the media would have looked at the cabinet Bush put together when he took office and then asked some real questions about Wolfie’s plan of world domination. I guess they had other things to do.

These scenarios, issued separately to the military services on Feb. 4, were detailed in a New York Times article last month. They postulated regional wars against Iraq and North Korea, as well as a Russian assault on Lithuania and smaller military contingencies that United States forces might confront in the future.

These hypothetical conflicts, coupled with the policy guidance document, are meant to give military leaders specific information about the kinds of military threats they should be prepared to meet as they train and equip their forces. It is also intended to give them a coherent strategy framework in which to evaluate various force and training options…read on

Here it is. The PNAC’ers plan right in front of our media.  And you’d think the NY Times would have taken the lead on this since they actually published it. Oh, that’s right. Judy Miller and Michael Gordon had other ideas. When the administration turned its attention to Iraq—-flashing red lights should have gone off…

These guys and their policies are awful. Too bad we didn’t have any courageous Democrats to effectively oppose and expose them. I guess some of them have been killed though too, so you can’t blame them totally. I’m thinking of JFK Jr., Paul Wellstone, all the Kennedy’s. And that guy from Missouri. But still. More people need to learn from them and take their place. I guess that’s what we are trying to do. Keep it up.

Boy these goofy smiles of Wolfowitz, Kristol, Bush, and Rumsfeldt, really drive me nuts. I wish someone could wipe those smiles off their face. I hope I live to see the day these guys are brought to justice.

Here’s a quote from General Wesley Clark on the plans of this administration:

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK:….I would say this, that you cannot win this war militarily. Everybody says it, including Generals Petraeus and Odierno. So, the question is what is the administration doing to help the men and women in uniform? What are they doing diplomatically? What are they doing politically? The answer is, diplomatically they’ve done very little. From the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, it was known that this administration had plans for regime change throughout the Middle East. Iraq was the first, Syria was going to be the second, Lebanon and ultimately Iran. Those countries viewed their first line of defense as keeping us bogged down in Iraq. So they’ve had an incentive to feed the insurgency. If you don’t deal with that incentive, whatever the efforts of the military, they come to naught because we’re going in a very resistant medium.

Blue Buddha Says:

I hardly call this “damning evidence”. For one thing, the paragraph previous to the passage is:

Senior Defense Department officials have said the document will be issued by Defense Secretary Cheney this month. According to a Feb. 18 memorandum from Mr. Wolfowitz’s deputy, Dale A. Vesser, the policy guidance will be issued with a set of “illustrative” scenarios for possible future foreign conflicts that might draw United States military forces into combat.

These are just various scenarios that may or may not happen… it’s mere speculation, not a master plan. Also, if you look past the N. Korea and Iraq part of the paragraph you highlighted, there is this: “as well as a Russian assault on Lithuania and smaller military contingencies that United States forces might confront in the future.” So, does this mean that there was ever a plan to prod Russia into invading Lithuania? Nope… it just means “what would we do if Russia invaded Lithuania?”

From the first link in John’s post, Wes Clark says in his new book that someone in the pentagon tried to show him an official DOD secret document while Rumsfeld was defense sec that was based on the same neocon plan. Straight out of Wes Clark’s book:

“Here’s the paper from the Office of the Secretary of Defense outlining the strategy. We’re going to take out seven countries in five years!’ And he named them, starting with Iraq and Syria and ending with Iran. It was straight out of Paul Wolfowitz’s 1991 play book, dressed up as the search for weapons of mass destruction and the global war on terror.”

That should have gotten lots of attention. The msm ought to be asking more about that document.

John Says:

While the PNAC doctrine is mindblowing, it is fundamentally flawed. It relies on the notion that wealth is to be extracted by coercion. While the followers moved their agenda closer to full-scaled reality this time around, ultimately they will become unsustainable and internally collapse as they reach the 11th hour of implementation.

Honest wealth transfer is not understood as a plausible goal by these men.

Value for value. Forever.

I have a clip I saved somewhere, from some top-brass cabinet-type guy (name escapes me, can’t find clip) which says, “U.S. foreign policy has always been based on control of world resources.” Think about it. It’s so true. Darfur has nothing to exploit. Got resources? Here come the marines!

Darfur has oil. It’s just that China has laid claim to it. That’s what the crisis in Darfur is all based on. Oil.

Let’s see here, on one hand we have people like Wolfie and LIEberman working in the best interests of Israel. On the other hand we have people like Chalabi working for the Iranians. These are the people most directly responsible for the quagmire in Iraq.

But the only people dying are Americans and Iraqis.

Talk about being used.

Ron Russell Says:

This portion of the Times article that paraphrased the policy, scares the hell out of me and seems to be happening here:

“after a lengthy political realignment and re-orientation to authoritarian and aggressive political and economic control.”

Granted, they were talking about fears of a Reconstituted Soviet Union, but I know I’m not the only one who believes that’s what has been happening here for over 6 years.

I’m surprised by this post. Is it not clear yet that the NYT has been in bed with the neocons? Does anyone think for a moment that Judy Miller Michael Gordon would have had the space to print their misinformation without the blessings from management? The management of the NYT believed in the neocons crap, and when one believes, one does not question. That’s why Michael Gordon still has his secure job with and continues to write crap at the NYT

Robt Says:

Can someone post up Wolfie’s Military record. How many years of west Point did he attend?

How many years of military service did he serve.

What branch of service and what rank did he attain.

Was he decorated for valor? Givin the Silver Star, Purple Heart? What conflicts/wars did he fight and serve as a military troop in?

We all know how his hard core World Banking job went…..That is how he did most everything else….

Well, the link is not to a flawed article, it’s just not the NYT. Until a week ago when the NYT paywall came crashing down you couldn’t get that article to come up at the NYT unless you paid for it. In any case, it’s the same article, except the link John has up also has other relevant NYT articles archived there too.

Peter G. Says:

For the life of me I can’t see why guys like this are called neocons. There is nothing new about their cons. They’ve been pulling the same crap since the written word was invented. Carthago delenda est. Those wars were probably about oil too. Olive oil.

43
Chip Says:

Yep, this all started because a few whimpy pasty white guys thought the world needed a dominate superpower after the Cold War. 9/11 was a Godsend for them. The perfect opportunity to put their plan into effect. Another Godsend was that lackey (to use PassedPawn’s expression) we have for a President. They certainly couldn’t have pulled this off with Clinton in office although they did try to persuade Clinton through a couple memorandums but he wasn’t interested. Why the major news outlets failed to cover this is beyond reproach.

There is an Isreali tie to all this as well. The plan wasn’t just for Oil but to protect Israel as well. Up until 9/11 Israel was one of the last countries to attack the US. That’s right at the end of the 6-day war Israel attacked one of our ships and the US didn’t do a thing about it.

There are many links that can be traced from members of the PNAC back to Isreal. Wolfowitz having several relatives there. Why we continue to kiss Isreal’s ass is beyond me. Actually it’s not beyond explanation when you dig further. Whatever.

It’s not about sending our citizens to fight for our freedoms. I feel like barfing when I hear the saying, “Our troops are fighting for our freedoms.” It hasn’t been that way for decades. It’s about sending our citizens to fight battles to stroke these guys ego’s. It’s for twisted policy not our freedoms. It’s a waste of human life and needs to stop. All these fuckers should be strung up.

hareli Says:

Buy your family guns. These guys are taking us to war that will result in nuclear action on this continent. Zionists declared Judea War Against Germany in 1933 (ADL link) and initiated worldwide sanctions (click to see the actual newspaper headline). 75 years later these jerks are repeating the process. The parallels are frightening. They learned butt-fuck nothing. And non-Jewish Americans are too frightened to examine the parallels. Or pipe up. Fucking astounding. We Jews who do bray at this phony moon are called self-hating.

Time to start protecting my family. Hello Canada. What’s the best province to move to? And I’m dead serious. You Canucks want to weigh in? I’m outta here and I’m taking my parents with me. Is it easier to enter one province more than the other? Or Does Canada have equal rules across the country?

Mr. Spleen Says:

Wow. I brought this up almost 2 years ago when this site was new and i was deleted and called crazy.
PNAC is powerful evidence that 9/11 was something the government needed.
It’s strangely convenient that they got just what they needed to invade the middle east within 5 years of creating this PNAC agreement. PNAC says they needed a ‘Pearl Harbor’ within the US border. They got it.
We got terrified. Our government is full of traitors.

Marc Says:

It’s not like you need to go look at leaked documents from 15 years ago–the PNAC website (http://www.newamericancentury.org/), although it’s looking pretty crusty and hasn’t been updated since 2005, is loaded with articles and position papers that say all that and more. It’s been completely out in the open for years–the only thing that surprises me is that so few people bother to read through some of it.

Some is just stock militaristic/US-centric posturing, and some is actually MORE reasonable than a lot of past-decade “conservative” drivel, but there’s all the imperialistic planning one could want there.

My favorite was one of the articles about “Pax Americana.” I don’t think they overtly intended that to sound as Roman-style-we-own-everything as it does, although “The American Peace” is like a really awful joke now. End result, though, they lay out careful plans for the US to pretty much take control of the world and run things.

My personal favorite (can’t seem to find the link right now, but I know it was on there) was an article basically arguing that the US should militarize
