Those defense numbers speak for themselves and it "ain't good".

If you are a sensible man or woman and you compare the spending worldwide, it is hard to justify such an exorbitant amount. What shocked me is that all the so-called rogue nations, when combined together only amounted to a small fraction of what we spend. So that means we need to spend another trillion just in case they develop a nuclear warhead. If they have any brains, and we know they do, they will sneak it in in using a means other than ballistic.

We are playing with fire by ignoring the ABM treaty and militarizing space. We are setting ourselves up for a mistake that could cost this world dearly. It doesn't appear that we have done enough basic research on the technology.

I know that many people want to link Sadham to Bin Laden, but I never have seen a link. They would end up killing each other............I can't see Sadham sharing the reins.
This whole Iraq thing is about the ego of another fat head........Papa Bush. I truly believe that he is behind the scene pushing his own agenda. He doesn't want his legacy to be tarnished by being remembered as the Pres that left Sadham in power. Junior's whole residency is about finishing up the loose ends that Papa couldn't finish when he got defeated in 1992.
The team is back in place.
