The factual accuracy of this article is disputed.
The organisation Project for the New American Century wrote a report titled Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century, in September 2000, authored by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Jeb Bush and Lewis Libby.

The document stated that:
