  The conservative revolution is over, but the military industrial complex has grown almost 200% over the last 8 years, so damage done. USA spends more on its military than all the other countries on the planet combined. USA borrowed or will have to borrow 3 trillion dollars to finance the Iraq war, more that vietnam, more than korea, more than WWI. Since over half of the returning VETs will apply for disability benifits both physical and mental, this bill alone will top 200 billion.

  And who thought up this neocon zionist war?

    Consider the case of the American Enterprise Institute, which last week announced that Arthur C. Brooks, a business and government professor (currently teaching at Syracuse University), would succeed its president, Christopher DeMuth, who is stepping down after 22 years. Under Mr. DeMuth, A.E.I. became the most influential of Washington think tanks during the Bush years. Its wood-paneled offices on 17th Street â;; in the same building that houses The Weekly Standard â;; attracted former administration officials like Paul D. Wolfowitz, dual Israeli citizen or (DIC), John Bolton, sadistic dickead, and David Frum, DIC, not to mention advisers and allies like Richard Perle, DIC (one of the most conspicuous supporters of the Iraq war) and Fred Kagan, DIC, (who helped develop the strategy to deal with problems that war caused).

      The AEI, where good republicans go to get there DIC presidential advisers, least we not forget the pardoned Scooter Libby, DIC.

      What did you evangelical army of republicans expect when you voted twice for Cheney, the CEO of haliburton?

      Do you really thing trickel down just give all the tax breaks to the super rich would raise all ships?

      It didn't. In fact, the super rich are leaving the mear millionaires behind at exponential rates. When Bush killed the inheritance tax (his first act as pres) it immediately created the global aristrocracy, where billionaires pay no taxes, move all money to dubai, and their american children will inherit it all, hundreds of billions, tax free. The greatest economic redistribution of socialism for the rich in the history of the world.

      And you idiot evangelicals voted twice for them. Like a true conservative would be caught dead in your inbred red states, or give a crap about gays, guns or abortion.

  I have not seen any passage that supports the idea that having the best military is not always a good thing.

    I have seen an economy that supports the passage you did not see supporting a military industry that is rendering the U.S. bankrupt. The U.S. economy cannot survive without generating war goods... what else do we have to sell the world??

    bigurn, when we finally win a guerilla war where you have to win the hearts and minds... then maybe!

    Well, we have the best money can buy... just based upon the sole source, unaudited contracts the Bushies have issued to make it so. Its not that a soldier is worth some infinitesimal amount, its all the toys for them to spur the economy and make Dumya's buddies rich! Otherwise Dumya would have the military persuing anti-fratricide efforts like Clinton did... and Dumya wouldn't be off several zeros in estimating how many Iraqis have actually died since Dumya invaded!

    Dumya's greed over the lives of fine American and innocent Iraqis would surely be evident in the Cheney Energy Meeting minutes with the likes of Ken Lay, still classified by Cheney!

  Thank you for the post, Populist.

  When did we begin to embrace and accept the term 'homeland' when talking or writing about the U.S.? This word was used by Soviets to define their love for the USSR. Recently I have seen the term 'comrade' used to refer U.S. military personnel and I just wonder how and why this transition has gone mostly unnoticed by news media and the U.S. population at large.

    part of the repug nationalistic attitude that we are better than they - goes with the PAX Americana of the PNAC, and its home, the American Interprise Institute, which needs to be burned down for the good of the country! We need to get rid of these hate mongers!
