"Im surprised how many people, on both sides, have no idea what the PNAC is and how it's driving our foreign policy."
End of the organization
By the end of 2006, PNAC was "reduced to a voice-mail box and a ghostly website [with a] single employee ... left to wrap things up", according to a correspondent at the BBC News.[66] In 2006 former executive director of the PNAC Gary Schmitt said PNAC had never been intended to "go on forever," and had "already done its job," suggesting that "our view has been adopted."[66] In 2009 Robert Kagan and William Kristol created a new think tank, the Foreign Policy Initiative, which scholars Stephen M. Walt and Don Abelson have characterized as a successor to PNAC.[2][67] From September 5th 2018 till January 13th 2019, the PNAC homepage went back online without any further explanation.
