Okay I did a search and while this may have been mentioned no one has really focused on it. Any of you heard about this group. Check out their website.

 

New American Century

 

Really disturbing is the "Rebuilding America's Defenses" report published in 2000. Located here .

 

Here our some of the key findings:

 

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

„Fƒndefend the American homeland;

„Fƒnfight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars;

„Fƒnperform the ¡§constabulary¡¨ duties associated with shaping the security environment in

critical regions;

„Fƒntransform 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.

Rebuilding America¡¦s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century

v

MODERNIZE CURRENT U.S. FORCES SELECTIVELY, proceeding with the F-22 program while

increasing purchases of lift, electronic support and other aircraft; expanding submarine

and surface combatant fleets; purchasing Comanche helicopters and medium-weight

ground vehicles for the Army, and the V-22 Osprey ¡§tilt-rotor¡¨ aircraft for the Marine

Corps.

CANCEL ¡§ROADBLOCK¡¨ PROGRAMS such as the Joint Strike Fighter, CVX aircraft carrier,

and Crusader howitzer system that would absorb exorbitant amounts of Pentagon funding

while providing limited improvements to current capabilities. Savings from these canceled

programs should be used to spur the process of military transformation.

DEVELOP AND DEPLOY GLOBAL MISSILE DEFENSES to defend the American homeland and

American allies, and to provide a secure basis for U.S. power projection around the world.

CONTROL THE NEW ¡§INTERNATIONAL COMMONS¡¨ OF SPACE AND ¡§CYBERSPACE,¡¨ and pave

the way for the creation of a new military service ¡V U.S. Space Forces ¡V with the mission of

space control.

EXPLOIT THE ¡§REVOLUTION IN MILITARY AFFAIRS¡¨ to insure the long-term superiority of

U.S. conventional forces. Establish a two-stage transformation process which

„Fƒnmaximizes the value of current weapons systems through the application of advanced

technologies, and,

„Fƒnproduces more profound improvements in military capabilities, encourages competition

between single services and joint-service experimentation efforts.

INCREASE DEFENSE SPENDING gradually to a minimum level of 3.5 to 3.8 percent of gross

domestic product, adding $15 billion to $20 billion to total defense spending annually.

Basically in 2000 this group of republicans with strong ties to corporate media decided that there needs to be a new world order. That the US had gotten a little soft and we need to beef it up again. The proposed 4 missions for the US.

 

* 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

 

In particular, the United States must:

MAINTAIN NUCLEAR STRATEGIC SUPERIORITY

 

RESTORE THE PERSONNEL STRENGTH, 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.

 

MODERNIZE CURRENT U.S. FORCES SELECTIVELY

 

DEVELOP AND DEPLOY GLOBAL MISSILE DEFENSES to defend the American homeland and American allies, and to provide a secure basis for U.S. power projection around the world.

 

CONTROL THE NEW INTERNATIONAL COMMONS OF SPACE AND CYBERSPACE

 

EXPLOIT THE REVOLUTION IN MILITARY AFFAIRS

 

INCREASE DEFENSE SPENDING

"Such a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity may not be fashionable today. But it is necessary if the United States is to build on the successes of this past century and to ensure our security and our greatness in the next."

 

so if they team up with nike or lexus and make this policy all sexy and slick, everyone will want a piece! brilliant.
