Brzezinski's "The Grand Chessboard" is the precursor to PNAC.
Look at what google just spat out, from DU too
Zbiggie is neocon lite. Hell, he should be mad they stole his shit. Rebuilding America's Defenses is basically a ripoff of Zbig's Grand Chessboard, from controlling energy supply and chokepoints, all the way down to the Pearl Harbor catalyzing event. Zbiggie is just mad the neocons are carrying out the plans poorly.
Few people on this site realize Brezezinski's The Grand Chessboard, ...
1997, was used as cliff notes for the PNAC aspirations. There was not one original thought in the PNAC documents, their plans were in total a rip-off of Brezezinski's 'geostrategic imperatives'. From thoughts of domination through economic and military hegemony, to managing Eurasia (like it was our lone superpower right), the arrogance that is solely attributed to Bush and the neo cons first found forum in "The Grand Chessboard".
From page 40 a quote that says it all ...
~~In brief, for the United States, Eurasian geostrategy involves the purposeful management of geostrategically dynamic states and the careful handling of geopolitically catalytic states, in keeping with the twin interests of America in the short term preservation of its unique global power and in the long-run transformation of it into increasing institutionalized global cooperation. To put it in a terminology that hearkens back to a more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep the tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together. ~~
It is the savage bungling of his master plan and the means of implementation he speaks against, not the imperial hegemonic goals of control of the resources and economic wealth of the world.
Who? The big Zbig?
The person openly calling for ruling the entire planet via USA? Who is more megalomaniac him or Bush?
He just doesn't like that the PNACers poorly executed what he had in mind. Watch him sqeal as Russia, India and China unite to control the Eurasia.
