PNAC Closing Shop, True To Its Delusional Precepts Confident Of “Mission Accomplished”

Brian Zick

Gee, sorta like Nixon calling quits and claiming "victory." Al Kamen at WaPo reports that "The doors may be closing shortly on the nine-year-old Project for a New American Century, the neoconservative think tank headed by William Kristol , former chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle and now editor of the Weekly Standard, which is must reading for neocon cogitators and agitators." The PNAC provided the ideological blueprint for Bush's Iraq war. Kamen reminds folks that "The founders included Richard B. Cheney , Donald H. Rumsfeld , Paul D. Wolfowitz , Jeb Bush , I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby , William J. Bennett, Zalmay Khalilzad and Quayle." Kamen says, "There had been debate about PNAC's future, but the feeling, a source said, was of "goal accomplished" and it looks to be heading toward closing."
