While the document follows in the footsteps of the administration's "pre-emptive" war doctrine as detailed by the Neocons' Project of the New American Century (PNAC), it goes much further in setting the contours of Washington's global military agenda.
It calls for a more "proactive" approach to warfare, beyond the weaker notion of "pre-emptive" and defensive actions, where military operations are launched against a "declared enemy" with a view to "preserving the peace" and "defending America."

The Liberal's seem to be going in the opposite direction, however, that could just be a blind folded approach they are using. The Conservatives we can give credit for being more open about their plans for Canada.

strike perogative...and the lessening of US
constitutional constraints on the President's perogative
to launch an 'unofficial war' not requiring sanction by the
House of Representatives. Project for a New American
Century and this latest Pentagon release do not bode
well for a safer world.
...and we, as Canucks....need to look hard at how our
'gentile' nation is increasingly complicitous with this
increased world-wide aggressiveness of Empire...and
whether or not we should allow our political elites,
namely, the PMO's to pursue policies of 'deep
integration',....likewise we need to review our national
energy policy and exports that feed the permanent war
economy. ....and while we're at ...adopt an independent
foreign policy that increases our ties with Europe, Latin
America, Russia, India, China and not just follow a
unilateralist policy of the USA....this century will be a
multi-polar world...not a world dominated by US
Empire...even though they may pursue that.
learn more about Quantum Physics, and you will learn that reality is not what you choose to think is the true reality over what someone else may think is the true reality. Quantum Physics easily reveals your arrogance to think your reality is some how superior over another.

This statement is false. It was first page news in the New York Times. Consequently, the entire Chossudovsky article is not reliable and should be removed from Vive le Canada.
