This "American grand strategy" must be advanced for "as far into the future as possible", the report says. It also calls for the US to "fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars" as a "core mission".

The report describes American armed forces abroad as "the cavalry on the new American frontier". The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document written by Wolfowitz and Libby that said the US must "discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role".

The PNAC report also:

refers to key allies such as the UK as "the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership";

describes peace-keeping missions as "demanding American political leadership rather than that of the United Nations";

reveals worries in the administration that Europe could rival the USA;

says "even should Saddam pass from the scene" bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will remain permanently - despite domestic opposition in the Gulf regimes to the stationing of US troops - as "Iran may well prove as large a threat to US interests as Iraq has";
