Speaking of spending...

Speaking of spending I hear nothing from congress on expediting an exit from Afganistan or Iraq.
It does not seem to be a topic from much of anyone?

Supposedly Iraq withdrawal is on a timeline. Afghanistan withdrawal is on a timeless-line.

 

[Douger]

Just like the USSR, you'll be OUT, soon enough.
Remember that freedom ( FreeDumb) fighter, Osama, who defeated them thar ebul Rooskies ? He was successful again..........al_CIA_duh is awesome

So far Ron Paul is the only candidate of any party to seriously talk about that.

Ron Paul has a good grasp of reality in some areas in others he is a hopeless idealist.
About industry regulating itself for one.

What you call hopeless idealism I call practical understanding of reality.

Yep and we have spent a hundred billion at least on Libya.
Hard to figure how much our govt is really sneaky on that one.
I wonder why the fiscal cons in congress are not bringing up that spending number?

Don't forget the drone attacks in Yemen and US military bases in 40 countries.

 

[uscitizen]

Yeah we spend around 1/4 trillion each year on foreign military bases...
Not counting Iraq and Afganistan.

 

[uscitizen]

And how much was spent developing that hyper speed drone to deliver munitions around the world?

China will be working on their own hyper speed drone now..

Cold war heats up with a new player.

 

[ShackledNation]

And why the hell do we have tens of thousands of troops in Japan and Germany? I am pretty sure WWII ended a while ago.

 

[signelect]

I really don't understand any of the wars, we are not winning any but one thing really bugs me. We are firing tomahawk missiles in Lybia at guys in pickup trucks and these missile cost over 1Mil. Is this the best we can do?
