(17,174 posts)Ex-president Shit-fer-Brains and the Evil DICK set it up for them perfectly. All some bozo like Alexander (the Supreme NSA Galactical Commander) has to do now is appear before a CongressCritterCommittee, say "Terra, Terra, Terra," and they're falling all over themselves to fill up a few more armored cars for him. How much? Sorry, that's Classified.
So that's all you need to know to succeed. "Terra, Terra, Terra" and "That's Classified information." Repeat it loud and often. Works like a charm.
And Aladdin thought "Open Sesame" were the magic words. Hmmph. Piker.

Next time someone tells you the United States is broke, our seniors have to eat dog food & we have to cut the hot lunch program for our kids, tell them to watch this 4 minute video.
The out of control military/security industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned about is sucking up 53 cents of every tax dollar & they want more. Talk about entitlement!

(50,983 posts)the MIC will do things to justify their existence. Because as it is there is simply no justification for a military of this size. So, no matter what happens in Syria, expect us to be involved in a major conflict in the very near future. Don't believe me? Just watch it happen. You won't have to wait long. We're talking extreme greed.
