Financial Times Analysis of the current US Defense Budget

I will be adding articles here on the current defense budget, largest in US history, bigger than all the others in the world combined, this from a Democrat who promised to end the war in Iraq and make progress on Israeli-Palestinian peace making. Instead he’s greatly escalated the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan, opened a new front in Yemen, intends to keep `enduring’ bases in Iraq and is moving ever so systematically towards the big one – open intervention in Iran which Bush era- neo cons, pro-Israeli types including the more liberal J-Street, that great assortment of those `rapture’ spellbound Christian fundamentalist wackos around Christians United For Israel and the Democratic Leadership Council all seem to be on the same page.
