National Security Strategy of the United States

"At present, the United States faces no global rival. America's grand strategy should aim to preserve and extend this advantageous position as far into the future as possible."

"In particular, the United States must: Control the new "international commons" of space and "cyberspace", and pave the way for the creation of a new military service -- U.S. Space Forces -- with the mission of space control."
From: Rebuilding America's Defenses - A Report of The Project for the New American Century, September 2000.

"The U.S. national security strategy will be based on a distinctly American internationalism that reflects the union of our values and our national interests. The aim of this strategy is to help make the world not just safer but better."

"The United States has long maintained the option of preemptive actions to counter a sufficient threat to our national security."

"We will take the actions necessary to ensure that our efforts to meet our global security commitments and protect Americans are not impaired by the potential for investigations, inquiry, or prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC), whose jurisdiction does not extend to Americans and which we do not accept."
From: The National Security Strategy of the United States of America - George W. Bush, The White House, September 2002.
