Default 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.
