I thought this s**t was passe.
What a bright new future for the military industrial complex.

I need never vote again, I conjure.

Hey- and when they "lose" one or two of these planes that get "unexpectedly" armed with long range weapons from an "unknown" source, they can claim no responsibility for whatever happens! Cool!
Israel OR Hammas leaders can be blasted, depending on the payoff! And plausible deniability wins out again!!!

Press release, Dubai 2013, friday, May 13:

"It was not sanctioned, it was a stolen aircraft- we cannot be responsible for this disaster, and we are willing to retaliate for undeserved blame! Death from above to the bringers of war!!!"

You heard it here first.

And... I'm talkin' to myself here... this is obviously a non-issue and I'm being upset for no reason.
Okay.

Worse is that we sell em at a loss, for political favors, then whine that we don't have enough, then go running to loot the taxpayers to pay for more.

Besides, as DT mentioned, we kinda HAVE to arm the other guys, so they present enough of a "threat" to "justify" the warmongering which enriches the war machine, right ?

Right. It saddens me some, though.

There's a line from JFK which cuts to the heart of the matter....."The organizing principle of any society is for war. The authority of the state over its people resides in its war powers."

I've seen that reality play out all my life, going back to The Korean War.
