Obama Announces Re-election Bid

You might notice I didn't say biggest or most expensive or anything at all about forms of currency. I said I believe each of our individual services should be the strongest of its type. I also said it should and could be done with much less cost.

Would you care to address that or do you want to educate us on the 70 hp/L engine for awhile?

So you want this to be about your intelligence. I have no problem discussing you and UG as the same intellectual micro-brains. You make it so easy.

You can stop being a scumbag now because numbers such as the 70 Hp/l engine were too complicated for you. Best you stop the cheapshot and deal with facts as posted.

Ridiculous is a military where the world's largest Air Force is the US Air Force. And the world's second largest Air Force is the US Navy. At what point do our allies start contributing to world stability? We have no business being the world's only policeman. And that is exactly what the Project for a New American Century (and the George Jr administration) wants. After all, we must protect 'our' oil in Iraq.

Only those who love excessive military and who invent enemies need a military that massive. Only dying empires maintain a military that excessive.

The question is about where we waste our resources. Two perfectly ideal example are the US military and the paper dollar bill. Perfect examples because extremists do not want to address these major problems.

As DanaC said:

The trouble is, as far as I can see, that as soon as you start trying to zero in on waste and unnecessary expenditure, vested interests in some service areas are so powerful that the spotlight just kind of glides over them ...

That problem exists only when Congress is dominated by extremists rather than pragmatists. When the political agenda is more important than the nation.

For the record, Spexx - this is the type of post that interferes with discussion on the issues.

OK, now can you find in this thread where I said we should have the 2 largest air forces in the world? Next can you find in this thread where I've said we should be the world's police force? After you're done with that can you find where I've said it is our job to maintain global stability?

When the political agenda is more important than the nation.

For bonus points I'd like you to cite something that would make you believe I disagree with this.

I'll wait.

Dude, what do expect when you post something like:

Again: the above statement is the kind of comment that starts a flame war. It's your style. You can't seem to help yourself. Someone posts some benign comment, and there you are with a snide

You recently pointed the finger at me for causing the problems. Look at yourself.

And there you go with your selective reading again. I would rather have a discussion about the issue. You'll note that TW is discussing the issue rather than insulting the other poster now. With that I'll walk away from what will be pointless bickering with you.

Wait - I see a pattern here. Someone points out that Lookout might be the problem around here... and he posts that the discussion is over.
