Blood Money

The AP reported on Thursday, "The House overwhelmingly approved a compromise $355.4 billion defense bill yesterday brimming with money for new destroyers, helicopters and missiles and granting President Bush most of the Pentagon buildup he requested after last year's terrorist attacks."

...$355.4 billion to, presumably, kill threatening Arabs, Muslims, and Iraqis while providing guys in suits with expensive toys to play out their power fantasies. A harsh statement, yes, but I think, an accurate one.

Just imagine what we could do with all that money if we weren't throwing it into "that great cess-pool of corporate welfare also known as the Pentagon budget."
