Iran with nukes is OK with you? No, so what happens when they obtain what they are currently striving for?
What happens if Russia invades a NATO country like Turkey? Do we just sit on our @sses? |
1. Congressional Budget Office (cbo.gov). Search "Defense" and add up all the appropriations. Or if you trust a particular news organization that has already done the search, do a search on their website, but make sure they cite the CBO.
2. I don't claim to be a military strategist. So, I'd guess you'd either maintain military bases inside Iraq, or continue to fight there and in Afghanistan as Cheney (actually, it was Tenet) originally planned: on "The Dark Side" (check out the documentary by the same name on PBS.org).
3. Of course not. And Israel already figured this one out. We call them Special and Black Ops.
4. Incirlik Air Base (US), Turkey.
