#2 Joe, the current fiscal problems have little or nothing to do with the military budget and everything to do with Congressional budgets and policy's w/r housing and loans to unqualified borrowers. The rest of the problems (including the greed) rests on that foundation.

There has been more than 5 years of Iraq funding spent on "Bailout" in the last 3 months. Anyone trying to connect the fiscal breakdown on Iraq is blowing smoke (a lot of smoke).
