The drums for war are beating for the purpose of restarting the profiteering bonanza that Bush II created. Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial complex is now superseded. It is the mercenary-military-support complex where the ridiculous money is.
They want a war, any war, anywhere.
The only way to end that is to make a constitutional amendment that prevents our military from subcontracting out any function related to support and logistics for any deployment of troops or warfighting material.
Mr. Cole. It's about K street. The lobbyists have a job to do. The privatization that the Bush administration conducted has made the military industrial complex larger, and there is a new sector that is critically dependent on active warfare. The promotion of farcical idiots as sages is due to placements by lobbyists exerting influence (and I am quite sure, quiet baksheesh) on various news media. It is pathetically cheap to buy major media in these days of the incredible shrinking real news budget. Even cheaper to buy an editor and a journalist or two. So you get the media and the editorializing crafted for the message that connected parties want it to be.
