Military Industrial Complex? Expensive toys rather than boots on the ground? I wouldn't have believed it, but if force size stays the same with this huge increase in spending then maybe I have to believe it.

You have to believe it. Sixty + billion for 120,000 troops in Iraq for a year. Half a million per soldier. The public is being taken for a ride. WMD's are not the only thing that are missing in Iraq.

Yeah. Watch this.

Boeing (name call name call)
made 35 mil profit on 5 bil sales non mil

made 350 million on 3 billion military.

What do they produce? why airborne lasers for whom the rfp was sent out by guess who? Druyun!!
Tons of money on producing nothing. A current article on forbes, I chose not to post here yesterday bec I did not have time to field fire. CEO Boeing saw more money in defense r and d while airbus has left US airplanes on the ground!

anyway they see it the way I do.
Do a search on Boeing Pelican and you will see a crazy airplane

airborne laser is mega too heavy but pelican will be 40 feet wide to host it! way to go Boeing.

Not kidding, this is all true and in the news.
