From 911Encyclopedia:

Douglas Jay Feith was Special Counsel to Assistant Secretary of Defense Richard Perle 1982-1984. Feith is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR->). In 1996, he was member of a 18-member committee, who passed around a document called "A clean break: a new strategy for securing the ralm". According to British journalist Brian Whitaker, this blueprint was written for Binyamin Netanyahu, prepared by the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS), a right-wing Israeli think tank. Content was a remodelled Middle East. One important item in the strategy, the paper strongly implied, would be getting Saddam Hussein out of power in Iraq. Head of the committee was Perle,Richard. Another member of the committee was David Wurmser, who is now a senior adviser to John Bolton, the Under-Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, and the State Department's most hawkish senior official. In 1999, Wurmser published a book (with a foreword by Richard Perle) called "Tyranny's Ally: America's Failure to Defeat Saddam Hussein." It provides a detailed description of a dramatically improved Middle East, from the hawk point of view, after regime change in Iraq. The other members: James Colbert (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs), Charles Fairbanks, Jr.(Johns Hopkins University/SAIS -->), Robert Loewenberg (President IASPS), David Wurmser (IASPS), and Meyrav Wurmser (Johns Hopkins University), Jonathan Torop (The Washington Institute for Near East Policy) and others. The committee and this document later inspired Pnac for another blueprint of a regime change in Iraq.

C., foresees that by 2020, 50 percent of estimated total global oil demand will be met by countries posing a high risk of internal instability. Crises in the worldâ¤TMs key energy-producing countries are highly likely for the next two decades. There is little likelihood that such crises will bring to power rulers friendlier to America than the current ones, since 65.3 of the recoverable oil reserves of the world (683.6 billion barrels) are in the unstable and largely anti-American Middle East region. Saudi Arabia produces a 25.3 percent share, while Iraq puts out 10.8 percent and Iran 8.6 percent... ...The U.S. is 50 percent dependent on oil imports; Turkey and Israel are almost totally dependent on outside oil and gas...the importance of Caspian hydrocarbons will greatly increase... Some major European, Asian and Russian oil companies (TotalfinaElf, Shell, ENI and others) are taking advantage of anti-Americanism generated by U.S. sanctions toward Iran and Iraq by investing there, free of U.S. competition. Therefore it is questionable whether the U.S. will be able or willing to secure Europeâ¤TMs (and Asiaâ¤TMs) Middle Eastern oil supplies... ...Some national oil companies around the Caspian tend to exaggerate their unexplored (potential) reserves to attract foreign investors. On the other hand, some major oil companies try to play down those reserves, either to receive better terms in the Production Sharing Agreements or to delay major investments like main export pipelines, as we now are observing in the decision process of the Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline from the Caspian..."
