For a detailed declaration of war including a description of a premeditated American military invasion and occupation of the Middle East, we look to a “policy” paper that was written and published by pro-war ideologists in the late 1990s. Just like the insightful stock traders in the week prior to the attack, we see that one group wrote a paper so accurate in the description of a “proposed” U.S. Armed Forces strategy since 9/11 that it raises serious suspicion. In other words, their proposed invasion into the Middle East mirrors the actual strategy that has occurred. Let’s take a close look at something called The Project for a New American Century, a pro-war “think tank” comprised of top neoconservatives who have an interesting history of promoting military conflict using American armed forces. Beginning in 1996, this group began a concerted effort, a campaign, to begin an American military invasion into Iraq. In 1996, Richard Perle, a defense lobbyist and a longtime Bush-Cheney** supporter, composed a report that proposed regime changes in order to restructure power in the Middle East to favor Israel. The report was titled A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm and called for removing Saddam Hussein from power, as well as other ideas to bring change to the region.[1] The report was delivered to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the head of Israel’s right-wing, hard-line Likud Party. This raises two questions. Who the hell is Richard Perle and why is he asking the head of Likud to remove the Iraqi president? Perle gained notoriety in the publishing business under Conrad Black, now serving time for criminal fraud, who was for a time the third largest newspaper magnate in the world.[2] Black controlled Hollinger International, the publisher of major newspapers including The Daily Telegraph (UK), Chicago Sun Times (U.S.), Jerusalem Post (Israel), National Post (Canada), and hundreds of community newspapers in North America. Two years later, in 1998, Perle recruited more members into his movement including Donald Rumsfeld, Scooter Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, former CIA head James Woolsey, Elliot Abrams, and John Bolton** who were among the signatories of a letter to President Clinton calling for the removal of Hussein with American military forces. Clinton rejected the idea but the “project” continued with another paper that was even more aggressive in their pursuit of war. On January 16, 1998, members of the PNAC, including future U.S. defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his future deputy defense secretary Paul Wolfowitz, drafted an open letter to President Bill Clinton, posted on its website, urging President Clinton to remove Saddam Hussein from power using U.S. military power. They argued that Saddam would pose a threat to the United States, its Middle East allies, and oil resources in the

Notes for this ebook are all available in greater detail at http://www.thebigbamboozle.com The website provides a two-way communication between the author and readers. Chapters 1-4 introduces the Congressional Joint Inquiry and it’s report to taxpayers. Chapter 4 is taken directly from Philip Shenon’s detailed description of Senator Bob Graham’s effort to investigate the Saudi government connection to the hijackers.

Footnotes 1-11: The Commission’s Chapter 9 (pages 51-58).

Note 12: The hijackers’s final preparation and flight training coincided with a series of unsourced reports delivered to Bush beginning in early 2001. These are actual passages as published and copied directly from the Congressional Joint Inquiry report. Chapter 5 This chapter is based on a Washington Post series Top Secret America by Dana Priest and William Arkin. This four part series and subsequent PBS documentary explores the far reaching and secretive arm of the Intelligence Community. Notes 1-15: The training of the hijackers was described in the 9/11 Commission report. The trips to Las Vegas were taken from the Congressional Joint Inquiry (CJI) report.
