Good stuff about the way media will spin things.

Cole, by the way, served in the first Iraq war, and used to be very, very right-wing (which is when I first started reading him).

EDIT: This is not to say that I generally love the US's foreign policy, as I don't. But I think the military industrial complex is bigger than any one person, unfortunately.

yes, it is very large.
and when you say 'shrink the military' people freak out. i don't think they realize how big that albatross is that we have hanging around our collective necks.

as for the foreign policy...it's been off the rails for decades. i think since ww2, before it ended really.
