The defense budget this year was something over 400 billion. It was about 280 billion during the worst of the Clinton years.

The CIA worldfact book is showing 276 billions dollars so I took a very conservative approach in my article. If we have it over 400 billion dollars this year it will be even a further evidence of our supreme military power over anyone else in the world and we will be 3.5 times the size of the combined military budget of France, Germany and Russia. great news my friend and why we should even ask France, Germany or Russia to contribute any troops and give us more headache then doing anything substantial in Iraq. We do not need them.

And for as little as 280 billion, Clinton bought us missile technology for China, who shared it with Korea, who shared it with Iran.
He was also nice enough to run from terrorists, long enough to ensure 9/11. Thank goodness he spent the money well, aye? :-P
