Lord help us

While folks here disagree on many issues, there is one about which we have near unanimity: the tenure of Senator Elizabeth Dole has been an unqualified disaster. And what is Liddy doing these days to improve her performance? She is proposing that we increase our military spending by a full 20%. As Rob Schofield at NC Policy Watch suggests, Dole's proposal would result in the US spending $15 a year for every human being on the entire planet.

Our projected defense spending falls short of meeting our military's critical needs. That's why I have introduced a resolution recommending that our nation commit no less than 4 percent of our gross domestic product to the annual defense budget, a measure supported by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the secretary of defense.

It's no wonder the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs want more money. With George Bush's hopeless war in Iraq and our military over-extended on every front around the world, he knows full well that things are rapidly falling apart around the edges.

Maybe Senator Dole should consider that many of our military's critical needs could have been met if she hadn't voted to send our troops into an unnecessary war based on a pack of lies.

BTW: I'm glad that Talking Points Memo posted this excerpt on Youtube, but since when does TiVo'ing something allow you to brand it with your logo? That's the Wild West...
