New American Century lasts eight years
RIGHT WING US think tank, Project for the New American Century (PNAC), appears to have shut up shop if the disappearance of its web site is anything to go by.

Visitors to the PNAC site are being greeted with a message saying the site has been suspended and to contact the billing department. As it seems extremely unlikely that the Neocons have run out of cash, we must assume that the whole thing is all part of the grand plan drawn up by PNAC founders Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld , Paul Wolfowitz, Jeb Bush, Scooter Libby and Dan Quayle.

While the disappearance of the site and the - ahem - singular views it expressed might be good news for some, historians and Federal prosecutors will be relieved to know that there's an archive of the PNAC site on the WayBack Machine here.

And far from hiding in the White House basement hoping the nasty liberals go away, a number of PNAC members and sympathisers appear to have set up shop over at The American Enterprise Institute whose membership list contains some rather familiar names.

4. Just like when nixon was busted

They plan to wait out one term by a democrat, craftily undermining any progress we might try to make,
then sneak in another ronald reagan to start the erosion once more.

Just as Sulla destroyed the Roman Republic decades before Ceasar, the damage has been done: the bush junta have proven that a coup is possible, and that EXTREME violence can be done to our country before scurrying back into the sewer where they can evade any retribution. *AND* that they can return to repeat the rapine once our dull awareness forgets the assault.



They'll be back, under some hastily minted banner, to plunder as often as necessary until the grand experiment is no more.

2. Well, it has been eight years... Maybe they feel the century is no longer new
So will it now be POAC Project for the Old American Century
or will they reorganize and start working on the 22nd Century ?

Never too early to get to work f*cking up the next century

3. Well, Hitler's 1000 year Reich lasted what, 12 years?
Sounds about right for facists.
