1. only if it is morally questionable and there is no chance of "winning"
Otherwise "we aren't the worlds policeman!!!111!" After all, the military industry is making money faster than the can count in our two quagmires already, so there's no point in anything further, unless it can tarnish a democrat as a bonus.

2. I think that there are a lot of people in the military who are...
wingnuts and we can't even trust what they tell the President because they want more war,they will set up situations in Iraq,Afghan and other places just so they can stay and cause more friction. There are also a lot of bush holdovers who don't want change strategy they are the (Surge people).

Lindsay Graham and others want to be in the loop just so that they can come on tv and lie about what is really going on.

4. To much on war mongering and illegal occupations...
not enough on domestic matters....

Boosh walked out handing the banks money that magically disappeared, gave us a 1 trillion dollar deficit, a destroyed economy and meaningless wars.... The pukes are quick to forget and to vain to reflect.

6. Any money "we" spend
is too much money. The money "they" spend is necessary to protect American "freedoms".

They are concerned that a welfare mom will "waste" $200. But spending 2 trillion dollars on missle defense is always good, because you can never spend "too much" on defense. It seems no one ever does the math to figure out that it would take 10 billion welfare moms all "wasting" $200 to spend the same pile of cash.

7. Yes, we are spending too much money
trying to clean up the messes that bush and the repubs made. The repubs can cry me a river and I could care less what they say or think. :shrug:
