Al Qai'da cat says you're insufferable LOL!! I haven't seen that animation since I used to attach it to my work emails in Iraq.. Thanks for the memories. Btw.. Here's a graph of military spending as a percentage of total Federal spending between 1945 and 2003.. Pay special attention to 1985-2003. You'll see, even with the extra $100 Billion in Iraq related expenditures, it doesn't even rise to the percentage we spent at the time we sent 1/2 million soldiers into Kuwait and Iraq: truthandpolitics.org And military spending compared to other discretionary spending: truthandpolitics.org And a comparison of mandatory spending compared to military spending.. It's pretty clear where the trend is leading with regard to what's a greater threat to the Federal Budget: heritage.org I'm sorry if some people can't accept facts when they conflict with their own pre-conceived notions..
