Jeb Bush Isn't a Moderate, He's a Neocon Extremist | Alternet

"The mainstream media has apparently forgotten this, but back in the late '90s, Jeb helped found the Project for a New American Century or PNAC, a neocon think tank that called for the overthrow Saddam Hussein and well, pretty much every other government that the US didn't like.

According to PNAC, the end result of this massive regime change campaign, would be a "Pax Americana" in which the US would dominate the world, its natural resources, and its economy.

It sounds like something out of a James Bond movie, but PNAC was very influential.

Many of its founding members like Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Zalmay Khalilzad, for example, went on to serve in the George W. Bush administration where they helped plan the Iraq debacle.

If history's any guide, these very same PNAC neocon extremists would also play a big role in a Jeb Bush administration"
