A militarily weak US government could have saved us trillions of taxpayer dollars

[yourviewpoints]

CBS News first identified Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi as "Curveball" in a 2007 investigation of "one of the deadliest con jobs of our time."

Although U.N. inspectors found no evidence to back up al-Janabi's claims of a biological weapons program, the Bush administration still relied on the bogus evidence to start a war that's led to over 100,000 deaths (plus millions of refugees fleeing the terror which we call war )

And the wars could cost the US as much as $4 trillion to $6 trillion ( that is five hundred thousand million dollars plus eleven times the same amount of five hundred thousand million dollars )

CONCLUSION :


If the US government was militarily weak like Switzerland, even if Al-Janabi lied to us, would the US government have had the power to go to war against Iraq and if it could not, today we would have saved trillions of dollars ( projected ) and saved hundreds of thousands of lives

including saving the lives of tens of thousands of our soldiers who have either died horrifying deaths or were injured or maimed or are suffering from PTSD

and valuable resources could have been directed to saving millions of Americans lives because right now, millions of Americans are dying every few years while cancer funding research is being cut right now

We have nukes. What do we need troops for?

Seriously though, we can definitely stand to cut military spending by 50% or more and still adequately defend our borders from foreign invaders.

What was wrong with your other thread on this subject? If you're a one-subject poster, make a thread and stick to it.

The actual conclusion is we'd be rich but under the control of a foriegn power. Hmmm, rich slaves are slaves none the less.

Slaves to whom ?

What is missing from your post is who will fill the vacuum of power when the US is not there.

Would you like to have seen a more powerful Russia take over leadership of the world? Maybe China? more likely Japan, or Perhaps the UK would be the dominant power.

So if in your perfect world you think a weak America would result in world utopia? am I far off?
.

Not a utopia but a America that is prosperous, just, friendly, healthy, admired around the world and not making enemies :

Whomever is willing to spend the money on their military!

Yes weakness in the face of aggressive militaristic foriegn entities that would love to rule you is indeed dumb.
