More like thousands if not tens of thousands across the US and world, but sure, keep on dreaming. When something brings up 1,000,000+ hits in a search engine, and isn't anything outside of itself (ie PNAC doesn't mean anything but PNAC), you've got a good indication that it's considered of MAJOR importance.

History will most likely view it as the creation of the neocon's, who eventually will probably become their own party rather than continuing to pollute the republican. I firmly expect them to play a major role in continuing world affairs.

Pabster, darling. You are like the fungus which seems to pop up between my pinky and ring toe every several weeks, despite treatment. Just fucking stop already. Please.

Huge breasts are about more than one thing...big chickens, females, implants, any one of 3 billion people, etc. PNAC is just about PNAC...a very small group of individuals with AMAZING power and influence.

No wonder he doesn't read. Five second attention span :laugh:

If you want to know more about their agenda I suggest you read this PDF on PNAC's site. Rebuilding America's Defenses


Put that together with Dick Cheney being a supporter and watch Cheney's Law. Connect the dots.

I read the whole PDF, and I don't see anything wrong with it. I'd be happy to see the US Military return to it's Cold War Era strength. Along with that would come the amazing technological advances that were so common in the Cold War.

I like PNAC.

Did you happen to read page 11?

ESTABLISH FOUR CORE MISSIONS for U.S. military forces:

? defend the American homeland;

? fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars;

? perform the ?constabulary? duties associated with shaping the security environment in
critical regions;

? transform U.S. forces to exploit the ?revolution in military affairs;?

To carry out these core missions, we need to provide sufficient force and budgetary
allocations. In particular, the United States must:

MAINTAIN NUCLEAR STRATEGIC SUPERIORITY, basing the U.S. nuclear deterrent upon a
global, nuclear net assessment that weighs the full range of current and emerging threats,
not merely the U.S.-Russia balance.

RESTORE THE PERSONNEL STRENGTH of today?s force to roughly the levels anticipated in
the ?Base Force? outlined by the Bush Administration, an increase in active-duty strength
from 1.4 million to 1.6 million.

REPOSITION U.S. FORCES to respond to 21st century strategic realities by shifting
permanently-based forces to Southeast Europe and Southeast Asia, and by changing naval
deployment patterns to reflect growing U.S. strategic concerns in East Asia.


Yeah its fine :roll:

Well, least I finally learn what the meaning of the term is. I admit I?ve been too lazy to goggle it when someone froths at the mouth and the abbreviation is used.

If they wanted to defend the homeland, they?d not want us to be pre-occupied with foreign wars while illegals invade this nation by the millions, and Muslims run free to convert further followers to the bloodshed and imposition of Sharia.

I strayed off topic, the question is regarding staff members. That sort of depends on how many politically active/savvy Republicans have become members. Depends on how likely it merely happened as opposed to if they were selected for that reason, and for what position they hold in the campaign. If it?s some regional twat that the candidate has never and will never meet, I couldn?t care less.

Although the concept of such an ideology being prevalent among Republicans is nonetheless disturbing We need a campaign for further foreign wars like we need another hole in the head.

*edit

I get the impression now you?re referring to actual positions in the administration. I kept thinking campaign staff.

For this I?ll stand by my earlier analysis that the ideology is disturbing, as if to distract us while bad things occur at home. I?m less concerned about relations to a particular group though than I am about a person?s actual ideology.

If for example, a President and their staff were more interested in Iran than securing our border and pursuing the radicals already here, I?d have to oppose them.

I think you are not interpreting the bold correctly. I don't think there is anything wrong with having a PLAN to "fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars". It has happened before(WWII), and will probably happen again. I am not saying that I agree with the PNAC, I'm just pointing out that there are certain parts that aren't all bad.

Well I don't plan on voting Republican (it's up in the air) but having PNAC members on board would lose my vote. Jingoism has cost us enough as it is.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem with the neocons and PNac types are not so much in their goals, which might at a stretch be laudable, but in their totally inept implementation of policy. That and their total blindness to any reality based feedback as their policies crashed around them while they studiously avoided questioning their own policies or assumtions.

And I too think the goals of the socialist left might at a stretch be laudable but the ineptness of the implementaion is what is damaging. That, and their total blindness to any reality based feedback as their programs crash down around them.

Boy this is fun. :roll: Care to continue?

Psssttt - We're talking PNAC here. Neo-cons are a different subject.

Topic:

PNAC members wouldn't make me not vote for a candidate, however I expect to see some balance in cabinet positions no matter who is elected.



That's a narrow-minded generalization. There are many different types of conservatives and liberals. REAL Republicans (as in party origin believers) are just as outraged by PNAC and neocons as are core libertarians (who are also a form of conservative). Many liberals, especially those bowing to socialistic international pressures, would support much of the PNAC policy and would worship their methodology. You can't paint with a brush that broad and wind up being right very often.

Myself, it's true I am socially liberal, and have much of my root political philosophy in liberalism...but by American definitions my government leanings are core historical conservative.

So then maybe you shouldn't be painting with such a broad brush or state such narrow minded generalizations.... ;)

Exactly. At current levels, we're currently unprepared for North Korea to attack South Korea, or China to take Taiwan. We need the ability to fight mulitiple major theater wars.

PNAC is a neo-conservative think tank so uhh it really isn't a different subject.
