america's spending and advancement of nuclear technology concerns me...china's spending and advancement fuggin scares me! :eek:

can't say as i'm overly surprised as to the fact that the budget superscedes that of the Reagan era though.

the cost of living today has risen significantly and in order to circulate the buck, expanded military expeditures are definitely a proven method......and not bad life insurance if you're on the right side of the red button. ;)

i'm afraid i'm highly skeptical of the report. for one thing, 'bunker busting bombs' are not nukes. nor is there any need for them to be nukes, nor, that i can think of, any desire for them to be nukes.

secondly, the defense budget is bleeding red ink due to the iraq war, which, last i heard, was not a nuclear conflict. where on earth would the bucks be coming from to pay for nukes when they can barely pay for the iraq war?

i'd like to see a reference to a more mainstream periodical.
