Is it telling or merely coincidence that your quotes questioning this blatant outrage appear in al Jazeera and Antiwar.com; are the major American news outlets so compromised that no such quotes were to be found?

Your mention of the easy passage of an unreadable, phonebook-size bill harkens back to the dark days of the Patriot Act. With our congress on autopilot, one can't but wonder who's at the controls.

It must be noted that Paul Wolfowitz was one of the influential pro-Zionist goons who signed on to the regime-change doctrine of Bill Krystol's Project for a New American Century. Twenty years and scores of dead bodies later, their agenda and influence remains unchecked.

Another timely and well-presented article deserving wide circulation.

(And thanks for listening to us and cobbling together an edit button. I've already put it to use.)

Think of the military as a ridiculously expensive and extremely dangerous jobs program, but with a massively negative ROI.

Folks might want to go to Information Clearing House, where this op-ed has been republished and read the comments there. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/56930.htm

Just an option, I'm not saying the comments there are "better" or "worse" but just "different".

Anyone that knows the DoD budget process knows the increase is normal and expected.
