On 911, I was scared, not because I was in the AH-64D Longbow Apache battalion in 3ID and knowing soon we would be going to who knew where, but of the following:
911 happens, then Yassir Arafat and his crazy goons uprise all over Israel with Hezbollah coming down from Lebanon, Iraq invades Kuwait again, North Korea attacks all along the DMZ in Korea, and PRC attacks Taiwan....the US is tied up and can't do anything but nuke.
What scares me today: PDRK invades ROK, PRC invades Taiwan, Iran nukes Israel or vice versa causing Armageddon, and Palestine lets loose with Hezbollah come down from Lebanon with Syrian help. All this coordinated. This world is dangerous. Our dollars in debt owned by the PRC (called T-bills, Treasury Bills-that is US debt), the Panama Canal is going to be run by PRC, Hugo Chavez is fixing to take over Castro as the goon of Latin America, and the illegals are flooding our country.
Yet, you have the Britney Spears and K-Feds/Fed_EX's of the USA not caring about what is going on...people buying and selling houses at inflated prices to where the market bubble will burst....etc.....SOmeone is going to want to collect on that debt, and fiat money won't do...you will have to pay in gold or platinum. I just don't think the US has the checks that can cover it.....What a mess.
Sure we have the money!!! Just yesterday 10 billion dollars went to Afganastan....Oh, but only 8 billion can go to defense... what a crock!!
There has been so much money funneled into the Middle East, and even FUNNY to watch the Bush people trying to explain how sending all that money over there is HELPING the economy.. .. YEAH RIGHT...
Math was one of my good subjects, and it DOES NOT ADD UP! It is all just lies, lies, lies.
