Is the Industrial Military Complex in Decline?

Why does it have to be a "Muslim" country?


My vote goes to Canada, why Canada?... here are my top ten reasons:

1) They do have some Muslims.

2) They think they're better at hockey than we are!

3) We all know they're a bunch of Marxists up there--with that nationalized health care and all that political correctness.

4) Proximity

5) Once we take over, we could get to Alaska without stepping on foreign soil.

6) We all ready have some plans in the archives: America's Secret Plan to Invade Canada • Damn Interesting (http://www.damninteresting.com/americas-secret-plan-to-invade-canada/ - broken link)

7) They don't know how to pronounce "house" and "mouse"

8) It would be inspiring to see the Stars and Stripes flying over The CN Tower.

9) Beer...they have a lot of it, we want it.

10) You know they'd attack us if they thought they could get away with it: Defence Scheme No. 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should we invade a new Muslim country to keep these products of war manufacturers busy?

If so, which country?

Don't worry, we left much of our equipment and weaponry in Iraq, because it was "worn out or not worth bringing back," that means we have to replace a lot of stuff.

Iran can't be done through drones or 'special forces'.

If we were to ever engage with Iran, we are talking about huge boots on the ground, huge naval presence...massive conventional war tactics.

Exactly. War drives our economy. It runs on blood money. Too soon, these troops will be fighting another boogey man in the name of USA World Police, $%#@ Yeah!

I think we tried that once before "War of 1812" we thought it was going to be a cake walk, just like Iraq was suppose to be, freeing those Canadians from the British.

IMO still the best advice offered by a POTUS in my lifetime. Unfortunately for the most part ignored, much to our detriment.

Hence... "they" want their country back.
