There are at least five key reasons why American military intervention in Syria s civil war could go nuclear.

http://is.gd/6gmWKq



Syria Presence Costing The Pentagon About $27 Million A Week

The Pentagon is spending about $27 million a week to maintain the increased U.S. Navy presence in the Mediterranean Sea and Middle East region to keep watch over Syria and be prepared to strike if needed.

http://is.gd/gI8Ry8



Syria strike or no, the last thing we need is a bigger US military budget

Some in Congress are using Syria to push for more money for the Pentagon. They ignore the facts on military spending.

If Washington wants negotiations over weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East to work, or even just to avoid making America appear ridiculous, Mr. Obama should begin by being candid.

American opposition to war on Syria

Future of Freedom Foundation

09/13/13

It s of course impossible to know what motivated each person to oppose the president s plan. It would be far too optimistic to think that people are actually beginning to question the entire concept of the national-security state apparatus, i.e., the military industrial complex, the CIA, and the NSA, and to recognize that it is at the root of America s woes. But I do think there is a good chance that people are finally starting to see that the military adventurism is not a fun-and-games, cost-free exercise...
