    Your first sentence is your opinion, and I'm not going to argue it. What I will say is that one could say that it does matter one bit, and that's why Congress is sitting in the dark 3 months later. :dunno:

    My info comes from the Battle Watch Floor. It's the info we gather that goes into those briefs the admirals give the President. I'll arrogantly say that my stuff's the straight scoop, and the AP/NYT/Post gets whatever is parsed out afterwards.

    Isn't NATO funded by the contributions of each of its members, allocated by GDP?

    I might be wrong, but that's the way it used to work. Of course, NATO used to exist because of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, but it's outlived both of those things so ... who knows? :)

    We have other wars going, not just the ones Israel leverages us into. The US has been in Columbia since before Clinton. And had troops searching the Filipino jungles for revolutionaries for 10 years since early Little Bush.
