i also heard that exactly a year before 9-11 dick cheney was quoted a s saying that it would take another catastrophic attack on amaerica like pearl
harbor to get americans to support another war.

he got it hunh?

Not specificaly Dick Cheney, but both a book and "think thank" he is affiliated with.
This and other things were stated in PNAC's plan, PNAC being "the Project for the New American Century" which can be found here
www.newamericancentury.org....
PNAC's Statement of Principles is signed by the following people:
Elliott Abrams
Gary Bauer
William J. Bennett
Jeb Bush
Dick Cheney
Eliot A. Cohen
Midge Decter
Paula Dobriansky
Steve Forbes
Aaron Friedberg
Francis Fukuyama
Frank Gaffney
Fred C. Ikle
Donald Kagan
Zalmay Khalilzad
I. Lewis Libby
Norman Podhoretz
Dan Quayle
Peter W. Rodman
Stephen P. Rosen
Henry S. Rowen
Donald Rumsfeld
Vin Weber
George Weigel
Paul Wolfowitz
Each and every one of these people that are member/supporter of PNAC are die hard Neocons who held positions in the Reagan and the Bush Senior
administrations or in many cases currently hold high positions in the current Bush administration. Many also involved in scandals ranging from
Iran-Contra, the Abu-Graib Prison Abuse and currently, Libby is very well known for the Natalie Plame leak.
Many of them that currently aren't publicly involved in politics are involved in company's like Haliburton, Monsanto, all the Oil company's, all
the Weapons and War industries and so on.
And in the book "The Grand Chessboard - American Primacy And It's Geostrategic Imperatives" by Zbigniew Brzezinski
(
en.wikipedia.org...) the line you said in your post is used to the letter when discussing america's supremacy and rule
over the resources of the world. Zbigniew was National Security Advisor under Carter.
PNAC is all about american suppremacy and military domination of the world. Their plans (together with the plans outlined in Zbigniew's book) and
idea's are what we have seen brought to reality since 9/11.
The other letters and documents sent by these PNAC guys have even more high profile politicians included as members of the group.
