| Quote: | INTERVIEWER: I'd like to shift gears just a little bit and talk a bit about Pentagon planning and policy. As you know, last year, the Pentagon released the quadrennial defense review which is the new centerpiece of Pentagon planning to take us into the next century. And it focuses to a large extent on the requirement for us to be able to fight two wars simultaneously, virtually simultaneously, without assistance of allies. Is this a realistic requirement? Because it is the cornerstone of Pentagon planning for about the next ten years.
SEN. BUMPERS: The idea that we have to fight two wars simultaneously I think is a real stretch in today's world. There might come a time when things are so unstable in the future that that might make sense. Right now, it makes no sense whatever. And so what are we doing? We're spending, we're spending -- the United States alone spends twice as much, you think about this, the United States alone spends twice as much as Russia, China, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Cuba, I forget who else, what we call the eight rogue -- they're not rogue nations, that we just call the eight most likely enemies that we're able to face. We're spending twice as much as all of them combined. We're certainly not likely to have to fight all of them at one time. |
look through it all. YES I know it's old news to many about the US spending rate but I noticed that-reading this with international relations class just now.

You might also try calming down while typing your headers, which cannot be edited later. It's hard to take a screed seriously when it looks like it's been written in lolspeak.
