Subject: RE: BS: Obama and torture
Say, I looked at a pie chart today in the newspaper, and it showed proportionate military expenditures in the world.

The USA spends 45% of the world's military expenditures as of this year!!!

China is next at 10%.

Then Russia at 5%.

All the other countries in the world combined spend the remaining 40%.

Now, Slag, you think the Islamic peoples of the world are a serious threat to the country that spends 45% of all the military spending in the world, and whose nearest rivals (Russia and China) spend between them only another 15% of it?

Good lord, man, that is like thinking that Pepe in his little shack with his wife, 2 kids, and a burro is a major threat to the owner of the biggest cattle ranch in Texas, who has 150 well-armed cowboys riding for him and a million dollars in the local bank!

Get real. The Islamic people are little threat to America. America is a simply gigantic threat to them, and that's why it's occupying two of their countries right now, and making various veiled threats against others. And why? For oil, that's why. Thousands of Islamic people have died for every American that died in these recent wars, and it is their land which is devastated. Just like Vietnam. Thousands of Vietnamese died for every American that fell too...still they won in the end, because it was their country, not yours, and you didn't belong there.

There's a lesson in that.
