Reading that Gary Bauer supports McCain because of his "family values" disgusted me today. Then I discovered that Bauer is a member of PNAC.
This is the group that called for a "New Pearl Harbor" event to accelerate the the rebuilding of America's defenses.
This is the PNAC exerpt ( written September 2000):
Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century
Further, 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. Domestic politics and
industrial policy will shape the pace and
content of transformation as much as the
requirements of current missions.
