"There is no doubt that Iraq is wealthy nation. Or that wealthy nations should turn their spending away from the military and spend it on their people"
(I tried to be word accurate from what I just heard...gist is certainly correct).

Ok, I know that Iraq has some rather extreme humanitatian issues at the moment, but this statement just came from the same administration that is advocating a half trillion dollar tax cut that will only really benefit the $millionaire+ club thus increasing the deficit to $1.3T when all the states are facing budget crisis's. And at teh same time increasing military spending by $48B. That increase alone is more than any other country in the World spends on military purposes, and doesn't include the estimated $50B - $150B cost of this war.

Hypocrite.
