Re: PNAC blueprint by Cheney and Co. includes China/S.E. Asia (fwd)

The precursor to PNAC, the Defense Policy Guidance paper, was drafted
under the auspices of Cheney's Defense Department in 1992 (in the first
Bush administration).  It called for the indefinite maintenance of US
global preeminence and the containment of any potentially global
challenger from emerging.  This fact is cited early on in the
_Rebuilding America's Defenses_ paper which is referred to here. Several
of the writers and signatories of this paper, including VP Chief of
staff Lewis Libby and Deputy Defense Secretary  Paul Wolfowitz were
recruited by the current administration.  The links to Cheney, at any
rate, appear to be fairly direct.
