foment foreign proxy wars and make a killing (pun intended)
The "level of funding" those terrorists needed was scarcely more than the cost of airline tickets & box cutters.
Bush's Crusade Against Islam/Endless War still throws multi-million dollar weapons at targets that are virtually worthless & may actually have increased radical Muslim resolve.
The U.S Military Industrial Complex is still cashing in big time.
Without these facts WE will still have to wait "for a long time for a cogent answer".
You're the first one hired
Congratulations
Now go take one for the team
every idiot that went along with boy blunder's not so excellent adventure in iraq should be shipped over first.
As far as I'm concerned...Let It Burn..
Cool.....so when the world is on fire, as the middle east is right now, and we have many more millions of displaced refugees at our doorstep, how many refugees will you be welcoming into your home?
Not America's problem.
I can see we've done real well keeping peace in the Mid east..Who should we attack in the name of peace next ?
If we walk away in 20 years most of the Terrorist groups will forget about us , as far as peace in their Lands , That's up to them.
Let it Burn...
crazy ain't it, we have military bases on every continent with over 500 throughout the world including missile silos plus cia stations throughout the world with drone launch/control sites
so much for the kinder gentler nation
we wouldn't have so many refugees on our doorsteps if we'd stop dropping bombs on their homes or causing insurrections in their countries, we have done more to sow strife and conflict in the world since the ending of world war two than any other nation and except for a few short periods of time have been in a state of perpetual war either directly or through proxy
our military has become the security force of the corporations that run the government and our tax dollars are involved in a shell game to support it eventually making their way to the companies that profit off the endless war
You are correct. You didn't answer the question in a cogent manner, in #4. Stand by. You will learn, maybe.
Meantime, I continue to wait.
There is no way to know the answer to that question. Don't you realize that?
There is a way to know what weapons the Army the doesn't want because they aren't useful ... ask them ... they keep telling Congress "we don't need that " but the pork barrel continues to roll
That is not a very good answer. Next!
I would guess that the current level of funding is more than sufficient, since we've done just that for the last 13 years, and we haven't been invaded.
I would then adjust the budget from that point.
To a point someone made earlier, I read a report that an unknown sniper is terrorizing ISIS and has taken out three of their senior leaders in their home base. It is speculated the sniper is a Syrian.
What ever that amount is, we have already spent it.
You're confused about who has the ability to walk on water.
There are no refugees on our door step, Mexicans and Canadians are not refugees.
i'd agree with you, but it wasn't on behalf of others
we fight wars to either get resources, maintain our access/control to resources, or deny other countries access to resources
Like it or not it is the CORRECT answer
You are correct but it is always sold to the public as being altruistic, i.e. "helping our friends or keeping the world safe". We should close 90% of our foreign military bases and tell our "allies" they are responsible for their own security.

Huh? Source.
just so i'm clear on this, what did the christian savior have to say about saving refugees?
Came to realize it's Dog Eat Dog out there. Sooner or later the Host is sucked dry if the Ticks continue to suck blood.
We are the World sounded good when M. Jackson produced it..:banana

Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer "More! More! More!"
