Not to get too much politics going here in AF I still felt, though, that this should be posted (you all might have already seen/read this)...
The Pentagon is planning a new generation of weapons, including huge hypersonic drones and bombs dropped from space, that will allow the US to strike its enemies at lightning speed from its own territory.
Over the next 25 years, the new technology would free the US from dependence on forward bases and the cooperation of regional allies, part of the drive towards self-sufficiency spurred by the difficulties of gaining international cooperation for the invasion of Iraq. - source (http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,988612,00.html)
What really strikes me as horrifying is the words spurred by the difficulties of gaining international cooperation!
Basically they [the US military] want to do what the fuck they like. It ain't so strange that we still haven't gone to Mars or beyond... we're too busy bitching over scraps of land!
