A Revelation: Our Military and Our Intelligence no longer capable of....

[kentuck]

Protecting our Nation. That is basically what the Bush Administration is telling us. We are spending so many billions of dollars that we cannot count and they cannot protect us from our enemies. That is quite a confession. And isn't that what they are really saying?

Why else would they feel like they need to make everyone feel vulnerable and fearful? Yes, there is an election coming up. However, most people probably feel as if we are vulnerable to another attack? If so, why are we spending so much on a military and intelligence force that are so inadequate? Could that money be better spent elsewhere? For example, would it be better to invest more in our Homeland Security, i.e., the police and firemen in our cities?

1. I'll tell you why.....

Because the US military and intelligence apparatus are not designed to "defend" the United States.

They are to protect private interests and to enforce imperial-capitalism.
