"Pentagon only spends 5% of our GDP"

The Pentagon is a MONEY PIT..It's a BLACKHOLE..

We buy weapon systems that the MILITARY says they don't even want, just so a Congressman or Senator can say they "protected" jobs. Thousand dollar hammers and toilet seats.

The Bush Administration doesn't even want to put our 2 Wars on the BOOKS. They want to finance them through "special" accounting.

I don't know what you think of Eisenhower, but our Country is doing EXACTLY what he warned us NOT to do.
