There is always a military budget. So what does that prove? Nothing.

It's not about proof, it's about convincing congress to cut loose with that amount.

That's a lot of money bee.

Who knows where it goes once it's approved.

And who knows what we will have to give up next in the name of terrorism.

We are but pawns in a chess game.

My niece's husband went into the military after 911 so I've never asked him about the so called WMD's. He did live in Saddam' s palace during the war with the US generals but he won't discuss his time there. He is not able to talk about his work. What little we know, including his wife, is all that he can tell us. Let's just say he works at a maximum security building at a govt facility and cannot travel outside of the US without the military because of his special skill set and what he knows.

Moons, my niece's husband would probably agree with you on our govt policies concerning the Middle East.

What's really weird is that another niece of mine is married to a military officer who is currently serving and he is also in military intelligence. His area deals with satellites.

No WMD's is pretty much common knowledge now gg, but the so called threat put boots on the ground didn't it?
911 as far as I'm concerned was no different than Pearl Harbor, both got us into a war.
Our leaders knew.
We created Al-Qaeda in the first place.

Sounds a bit like Snowden.

All I'm saying is for whatever purpose it's all a good show put on for our benifit.

And none of your bellyaching will change a thing. Carlin has a more pragmatic approach to examine the data mining going on forging this outcome. That is more relevant, I think, than finger pointing at who tells the better myth for whomever's benefit.

However, you brought up the Snowden saga. I think Snowden is not being used to his full potential. I think he should be enticed to become an "airspace tester". If he can board a flight and land in any one of the 19 countries with a closed US Embassy, then we go ahead and open that one back up.

It's sad that the average citizen is so limited in what we can do.

Snowden baffles me. Is he really a traitor? Or, is he a hero who is seen as a threat by some govt agencies and they are worried about what he will reveal?

It's sad that the average citizen is so limited in what we can do.

That's been an illusion for some time, one that slowly becomes reality day by day. Instead, we little people have "busy work" to do, more pressing things to argue about, such as the whether or not the greater evils within government are of liberal or conservative doing. When Joe American's interests are represented equally beside George's (Bush or Soros), perhaps then it would be appropriate to revisit partisan issues.
