It is my understanding that Ron Paul wants to close the forgiegn bases. This is not a thread about Ron Paul, but rather a discussion on the pros and cons of closing these bases. These are a few I just threw together. Have today's technological advances in delivery systems somewhat diminished...
U.S. trucking funds end up in Taliban hands
And people wonder why we have such an insurmountable debt.
It seems the war would last much longer than anticipated. If you are financing the very enemies you are fighting against, it is no wonder the war is no way near the finish line.
Soviet...
Threats of calamity are common when it comes to budgeting battles, but this one is disgraceful. There's lots of room in the Pentagons budgets for cuts that will not adversely affect their performance, but say that those cuts are coming and they get all up in arms and threaten a return to the...
Too bad our leaders can't see how our nonsensical foreign policy is bankrupting the country, just the same as our nonsensical domestic spending. How safe and free are you going to be when the U.S. goes bankrupt?? The Military-Industrial Complex has hijacked this government and wants to...
The key to uniting Republicans & Democrats is to embrace Liberty. Both parties have enough in common with libertarian beliefs, that somebody like Ron Paul could unite non-statist voters and create a victory over Establishmentarian President, Barack Obama.
Ron Paul is inspiring Democrats to...
Not according to the Air Force. They're assuring us that they're just outright bombing the crap out of Libya with over 3K sorties under their hats. What happened to a drone driven war? Guess El Presidente' really does get to define what's war and what's not. This guy is making Bush look like a...
Now, El Presidente' has decided to start drone strikes in Somalia. Yet another front opens up in his quest for wars. Probably part of his economic stimulus plan. Next up will be ground troops, again, no doubt. Delivering pizza and democracy. Pretty soon we'll be lobbing rockets at everyone...
That's the price tag for this countries seemingly endless wars. People are *****ing and moaning about Obamacare and other spending, but are seemingly just fine with the war spending that is going to enslave our children and, probably, theirs, for decades to come. When does it become a case of...
Did you know that "Star Wars" Episodes 1-3 contain a complex political allegory on terrorism and the rise of the New World Order? The story shows how the Republic can be transformed into a dictatorial Empire using false-flag terrorism and war. Not unlike the current sequence of events...
Too bad it's taken so long for people to start waking up. Of course, some people are slower than than others. Maybe, one of these days, enough people will wake up and say enough's enough and bring our legions home. We have more troops now than when Eisenhower was in office and he warned us of...
Report: Obama overruled lawyers on Libya air war - Yahoo! News
BTW the 90 day mark of the "libyan war" is this Sunday and your dear leader has yet to ask Congress if it was okay to go to war. :rolleyes:
Yup he sure is way different that Bush 2 alright. He sure CHANGED! Well at least he...
The guys in the house are really ratcheting things up over Libya, trying to wrest power back from the executive branch that shouldn't have been in their hands to begin with. Even Dan Burton's getting in on the action, along with Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. It's about time someone took a step...
WARSAW - Poland and the United States signed an agreement Monday to station F-16 jet fighters and C-130 Hercules transport aircraft on Polish soil along with a detachment of American pilots who would train their local counterparts.
"We think this is the next step in deepening Polish-American...
That's one way to rein in the emperor. Take his money away and he won't be able to play anymore. Only congress has the power to declare war, let his majesty come before them and ask for a declaration if he wants a conflict. About time someone attempted to strip the presidential war making powers...
The War on Libya is going to be the model for the upcoming War on Syria.
Sen. Graham: Military intervention in Syria should be on the Table
Graham: Now is the time to take action in Syria - CBS News
For good measure, he also urged the President for an aggressive War on Pakistan.
Is there...
So, while things are chaotic in Yemen, and their soon to be ousted leader is in a Saudi hospital, El Presidente has decided that it would be a good time to start a bombing campaign in yet another country. War is the health of the state, and this president is determined to make it healthier than...
Dennis Kucinich puts up a War Powers Resolution Act piece to pull the US out of the illegal Libyan conflict and the gop decided to show their true colours. They pulled his measure, because it was likely to succeed and force Obama's hand by showing him (and the war supporters) who was supposed to...
McCain: US should have used greater force in Libya | World news | guardian.co.uk
Even some of my pro-war friends think McCain is a nut bag. This is getting ridiculous.
The two parties would love nothing more than to keep us in a perpetual state of warfare. The only ones benefiting from this are the Pentagon and the military industrial complex. The military and their families aren't benefiting. And it's a certainty that the tax payers in this country are seeing...
