McCain promised his violent followers in the ordinary masses, 100 years of revenge on Iraq, Afghanistan, plus maybe other as-yet unnamed middle eastern countries, if he gets elected. To McCain's violent colleagues in the political elite, 100 years of military control of oil-exporting countries that are not cooperating with the US very well today, sounds like a good plan for success too.
But where is John McCain going to source the money and the blood for all that work?
The public are getting repeated reports that the US military is depleted today, dangerously so. Some of these reports are coming from the Pentagon itself.
Where is McCain realistically going to source the soldiers, the manpower, to keep this up in Iraq and Afghanistan, and also maybe add another front in Iran, and do this continually for the next 100 years?
Nine (9) trillion US dollars is the debt the Bush administration has put onto the backs of taxpayers, who have promised to the lenders to pay it back to them. However, our line of credit is almost all used up now. Forget our cash, we blew through all our national money on hand a long time ago. China and Japan are showing signs of not wanting to lend our nation additional money until we pay some of our debts back to these major lenders.
Where is McCain realistically going to source the money to fund two or more continuous battle fronts, for the next 100 years?
Let's look at McCain's possibilities to source more soldiers and money now that the current sources have been all dried up by President Bush and his merry war-men and women in Congress.
