Iran alone won't fund the massive war machine. A nation of buckshot slinging quail hunters won't find near enough mystery in a turban compared to a conical straw hat, and are liable to cut the annual $623 billion US military ripoff (er, budget).

Oh well, China will probably be next. I mean they are a Communist country after all, and granted we do enormous amounts of business with them, and they have loaned us trillions of dollars and we appear to be controlling them pretty well for now, eventually they are going to start rumblings of wanting to get re-paid some of that money, with either money or perhaps US property.



Oh, hey wow, then it really could be called like little China, or Chinatown 3.0 in certain parts of the country.



I am confident though that if that happens that our government will realize the error of doing business with a communist country, declare them part of the axis of evil, then get tough on them for human rights violations, stammer in outrage over the total government lock down on their media, and how they hide the truth from their people, and roll out the old hollywood propaganda machines to give us a new enemy to be scared of.



But hey you say, they have a million man strong army, don't worry about the threat of invasion or attack from them at all, because we have nuclear weapons and as evidenced by our standing in the world as the only nation to ever use them, let alone do it twice, we will clearly have no qualms about using them again, if we can forge, excuse me I mean discover and present enough evidence about how they were just about to invade us.



Because the military's budget may never decrease and only increase because we must keep our wartime hardware manufactures happy and profitable so they don't play the old Capitalism card, tell us to go F ourselves and sell their technology to the highest bidder.

Carter decided we didn't need nuclear power, that it would be better to tie our energy security to the assholes in the MIddle East. Ever since then, we've been spending more money in the military to secure our access to Middle Eastern oil than the oil itself is worth. What's wrong with this picture?



Now we have 13 new nuclear plants coming on-line, each of which will produce electricity half as expensively as coal, and with no imported oil, thanks to Bush's reform of Nuclear Regulatory Commission and EPA plant licensing guidelines. Obama is already taking credit for this. No "it's Bush's... " well, you can't say "fault," because it's what we should have been doing since 1980. So blame your own people as well as the Republicans for THAT mess. Carter is STILL taking money from the Saudis for his Carter Center for Sanctimonious Horseshit.



If BO is going to blame Bush for a recession that BO widened and exacerbated, he should give Bush credit for programs that worked, not take credit for them himself - if BO is not a hypocritical empty suit, that is. But we know better.



And making peace with a repulsive, homicidal regime that took two American female reporters hostage and sentenced them to hard labor on trumped-up charges, and which has murdered American servicemen routinely over the past six decades is not an improvement on the current situation.

Obama will edge with North Korea. it fairly is the Democrats' Socialist Paradise. North Korea is the main effectual Socialist u . s . in the historic past of the international. A Democrats' Utopia.

The conventional thinking is that if we don't spend it, somebody else will and keep us from our "way or life"





I just haven't seen the evidence of someone to take our place in feeding a military industrial complex yet. ( the chinese are still 30 years behind us in military tech)
