BELIEVERS AGAINST THE WAR
ANOTHER $700 BILLION TO FUND THE WAR MACHINE

Clackamas, OR - Seven hundred billion dollars for the Department of Offense! On Friday, in an unprecedented act of treason, the U.S. Senate chose to once again prop up the failing American Empire with a slam dunk vote of 90 to 3 – even throwing in another $200 billion of “no strings attached” money to fully fund the illegal occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The costs to support the American Empire, which now spans across 750 bases located in 130 of the world’s 192 countries, are staggering. We now spend more on our military than the rest of the world spends on theirs – combined!

If we add in the budgets for Fatherland Security, the CIA, NSA - along with what it takes to fund the swarm of nearly 100,000 heavily armed, increasingly belligerent, federal agents - the actual number is closer to ONE TRILLION DOLLARS.

The notable no-shows to this Senate betrayal were Senators McCain, Dodd, Biden, Obama and Clinton – who skipped the vote, apparently thinking it more important to be in Iowa begging for votes than back in Washington doing the job we hired them to do.

David Brownlow, Director of BELIEVERS AGAINST THE WAR, said, “Without a doubt, we have created the most fearsome and ferocious military machine the world has ever known. Unfortunately, instead of being used as a force for good, our military has become the personal imperial army for the gang criminals who have seized control of our country - who wield this power like spoiled children as they strut across the world, barking out threats to all who refuse to bow down before them. It is time to take away their toys.”

Brownlow continued, “Senators Wyden and Smith, who both pretend to be against the war, are now full fledged participants in the war crimes being committed throughout the world in the name of the American people. When we needed them to make a stand for peace, they chose to shovel another $700 billion into the jaws of death. What a bloody mess.”
