The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) is a neo-conservative think-tank whose members include Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush, and Paul Wolfowitz. One year prior to 9/11, PNAC released a report entitled Rebuilding America's Defenses. In the report, PNAC declared an aggressive global agenda, which included drastically expanding the U.S. military industrial complex and a plan to control a majority of the world’s natural resources by relentless military action. In order to achieve these goals, PNAC concludes that "the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."
