FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE U.S. Power in Iraq and
Beyondby RAHUL MAHAJAN

• American political domination must be based on
  overwhelming military superiority, reinforced
  periodically by small theater wars fought
  against foes that are helpless to resist, to be
  followed potentially by American military
  occupation and installation of regimes that will
  obey American dictates. 55

The grand ideological visions of the
neoconservatives dovetail perfectly with the
requirements of the powers-that-be in the global
economy, the fruits of U.S. policies in the
region, and the designs of Western, especially
American, oil companies. -180

POWER TRIPU.S. Unilateralism and Global Strategy
After September 11Edited by JOHN FEFFER
As high U.S. officials explain, the United States
is intent on pursuing policies that prevent the
rise of a peer competitor. Tom Barry, page 28.  
U.S. warlordism doesnt tolerate rivals,
validates first strike warfare, and spurns
conflict prevention strategies and negotiating
frameworks. The new warlordism keeps counsel not
with diplomats but with arms merchants. Tom
Barry, page 35.
In the initial weeks after September 11, the
United States ad its European allies quickly
signed treaties with Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan to lease military bases and use of
their air space for the military campaign in
Afghanistan. This is the first time that the
Unites States has placed its military forces in
such close proximity to the borders of Russia and
China, both of which consider Central Asia as
part of their sphere of influence. Ahmed Rashid,
page 119.

Control over Resources
The administrations first major priority, the
acquisition of additional petroleum supplies from
foreign sources, was spelled out in the report of
the National Energy Policy Development Group,
released on May 17, 2001.- 51
According to the Cheney Report U.S. reliance on
imported petroleum will rise from 52 percent of
total consumption in 2001 to an estimated 66
percent in 2020.63 U.S. oil imports will have
to rise from their current rate of 10.4 million
barrels per day to an estimated 16.7 million
barrels per day in 2020.64 The only way to
accomplish this is to persuade foreign suppliers
to increase their production of oil and to sell
more of their output to the United States. -52
