You have to wonder what in the hell the Bush White House thinks it's doing. At a time when we're being attacked every time we turn around, the Administration acts like everything is just ducky, we have Iraq under control and Red China won't really be a problem for twenty years if at all. So we don't need all of these defense assets.

I'm beginning to think some very dark thoughts about our Washington crap weasels.

This country is in decline and/or conversion and has been for quite some time.

A sure sign is the down sizing of the military.

See what happened to Great Britain. Then see what happened the Soviet Union.

We have ceased to be an independent self- sufficient nation and have become dependent on others.

I think it is part of a deliberate plan that has been in place to bring us into the global community where no one nation is capable of independent military or financial action without the approval and support of those global bodies which will control world markets and economies.

Can't have powerful loose cannon running around acting independently upsetting world trade. It's bad for business.

I think Iraq is the last time you will see the U.S. act without the approval of the major players in the global community except on a small defensive scale.

I think the New World Order or Globalist plan for relative peace, stability and prosperity is to have each nation dependent on the other for survival.

Banding together for trade and common defense is what got us where we are as a country.

It was through trade agreements that the states and people gave up their power and freedom to our centralized government.

What we have been witnessing is the same plan put in place on a global scale.

We are and will continue to give up our national power and freedom to a loosely formed centralized government of nation states.
