Another toy for the unending war machine. A great example of private profit from publically borrowed money. Also an example of the continous war. I wonder if we will run out of money or countries first.
Yes, unfortunetely so. We need Ron Paul to put an end to this military madness.
The only way to end the "military madness" is to end the dollars tie to oil. He will have to do that first before pulling any troops all home or we would implode economically. The only reason we haven't yet is because oil is still traded in dollars.
Please explain how using only dollars to price oil is so important. We buy most of our imported oil from Mexico and Canada and I do not see why they would change. How is the Middle East selling oil to the EU countries in EURO's is such a big deal?
I would guess that these are more likely used to counter the fact that China now has an underground submarine/carrier base to go along with thousands of miles of tunnels for transporting troops and nuclear weapons.

OPEC countries are supposed to sell oil in dollars only. That's the deal. When a country like Sweden wants to buy oil from the Saudis, they need to get the $$$ from us first first. This keeps the greenbacks in demand. That's the way we tax the rest of the world. Of course we have to give them (Saudis) something in return, and we offer them military protection. I don't see why this should stop Ron Paul from pulling troops out though. We can defend the Saudis with a fraction of the troops.
IF Iran develops a nuke, it will be Israel's job to deal with it. It won't be a threat to the USA. And the Israelis are more than capable of mounting the proper response.
Have we sold one or more of those things to them? I didn't know that.
Have you failed to hear that Iran said they would station some ships just off the coast of the US? Do you not know that they have rockets that could reach pretty deep in the US from international waters?
We already sold I think it was 400 of these things to Israel three or four years ago. They got plenty ready to go boom when they deem the time is right.
We didn't have this one further than one test four years ago. In fact, we only have about 10 of them ready to use now.
