59 Tomahawk Missiles @ $1.4 Million Per Missile = $82,600,000 cost toUS Taxpayer. Yes Smedley, War Is Still a Racket.
From http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_840365.html
"In fiscal terms, at a time when Congress is fighting over every dollar, the cruise missile show of military might was an expenditure of nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. Each missile cost $1.41 million, close to three times the cost listed on the Navy’s website". "Raytheon Corp. is the manufacturer of the Tomahawk Block IV, a low-flying missile that travels at 550 miles per hour. During a decade of war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Libya, the Pentagon has increasingly relied on the Tomahawk. A year ago, Raytheon boasted of its 2,000th Block IV delivery to the Navy". "With $25 billion in revenues and $1.84 billion in profits companywide in 2010, Raytheon is one of the five largest defense contractors and has benefited from the military’s increasing reliance on cruise missiles. Missile sales have also been paralleled by its lobbying effort. Raytheon, now the world’s biggest producer of guided-missiles, spent just shy of $7 million on congressional lobbying in 2010, compared to $2.32 million a decade earlier, according to the Center for Responsive Politics’ OpenSecrets.org". "Raytheon has liberally sprinkled campaign contributions across Congress, including more than $2.1 million in 2009-2010. The contributions were balanced between parties, with 53 percent going to Democrats and 46 percent to Republican candidates, according to OpenSecrets". "Even in an era of staggering weapons costs, the price tag for a Tomahawk stands out because it’s only used once". |

Today Trump officially made his bones as a mass murderer and the corporate controlled media, DummycRATS and Repugnantcans are now cooing with praise of him. Yesterday he was public enemy #1 because of his attempts to stop the illegal invasion of mainland USA from the hordes. Go figure. Sickening. |

Never forget: ALL politicians are LIARS! Bill Clinton: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” George H.W. Bush: “Read my lips. No new taxes.” Franklin D. Roosevelt: "I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars," he told voters in Boston. "I am fighting to keep our people out of foreign wars. And I will keep on fighting," he told voters in Brooklyn. "Your president says this country is not going to war," he assured voters in Buffalo. George W. Bush: “Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.” Abraham Lincoln: "Do the people of the South really entertain fears that a Republican administration would, directly or indirectly, interfere with their slaves, or with them, about their slaves? If they do, I wish to assure you, as once a friend, and still, I hope, not an enemy, that there is no cause for such fears." John F. Kennedy: "I have previously stated, and I repeat now, that the United States plans no military intervention in Cuba." Ronald Reagan: "A few months ago, I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not." Lyndon B. Johnson: August 1964, in Vietnam’s Gulf of Tonkin, two U.S. ships were reported attacked. Johnson went on the air that night and spoke to the American people about the “unprovoked” attack and the bombing response he ordered in retaliation against the North. In all, he ordered 64 sorties, bombing a coal mine, an oil depot, and much of North Vietnam’s navy. Enough said. |

The quote comes from a letter from Abe Lincoln to Alexander Stephens. Lincoln had previously stated publicly that he had no intention of doing anything about slavery where it already exists but would block the spread of slavery to the terrorities. Uh...okaaaay. Certainly glad his "Republican administration" didn't interfere with the South. Glad that is settled. smh |

In all, he ordered 64 sorties, bombing a coal mine, an oil depot, and much of North Vietnam's navy. I cannot highly enough recommend the documentary _The Fog of War_ directed by Errol Morris, especially for those around during the Vietnam era. From Wikiquotes ( https : // en.wikiquote.org / wiki / The_Fog_of_War ): McNamara: It was just confusion, and events afterwards showed that our judgment that we'd been attacked that day was wrong. It didn't happen. And the judgment that we'd been attacked on August 2nd was right. In the same year as the incidents above, and just a few months after Kennedy's death, someone very close to me graduated from the University of Wyoming. In the associated graduation booklet was listed this military science student who was also graduating: George B. McClellan The state's sole congressman at the time: William Henry Harrison Whoa! Who spun the dials on the Wayback Machine! To venture even further from the topic at hand, my cousin lived in that school's campus housing in that era as well. No friend of the Republicans, he recounts a story of him and some other boys cavorting with their bicycles in the back yard of another resident, a certain Mr. Richard Cheney. And learning first hand that even as an innocent child there were certain people whose wrath you really, really did not want to incur. Not that it has anything to do with our narrative, or WMD's that might have been spirited away from Iraq into Syria, or anything like that. But it is a small world. George |

Continued at https://snapoutofitamerica.wordpress...nfederate-war/ The attempt at secession was never legal. The United States would have been better off had the slave states which wanted to leave made their case for secession in Congress or in front of the Supreme Court but they knew their most reasoned arguement came from the muzzle of a cannon. A few years after the war, the Supreme Court essentially ruled that no State left the US legally and whatever they did to support the Confederacy was illegal. Neo-Confederates never fail to amuse. For example: "it perished in the United States when the North won the war; for, freely representative government, by consent of the governed, is exactly what the South was fighting for and exactly what Lincolns military victory destroyed." Oh! The tyranny of freeing slaves and giving them full citizenship!! |
