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.
The Washington Post has put together a great graphic comparing Jeb's foreign policy advisers with the foreign policy advisers of the two Bush administrations and the Reagan administration, and that graphic makes one thing really, really clear: The same people who advised Ronald Reagan and both George Bushes on foreign policy are advising Jeb Bush on foreign policy.
This group includes people like Paul Wolfowitz -- yes, that Paul Wolfowitz -- who are so tied to both PNAC and the nightmare of the Bush II years that just mentioning their names makes it feel like 2003 again.
So while he can say whatever he wants about being a moderate, Jeb Bush is ultimately as extremist as they come, and if elected president, he'll run this country just like his dad and brother did.
