RE: Your report of Obama's new foreign policy relative to his decision to significantly reduce military expenditures compared US expenditures to China's. To ensure accurate comparison, what % of US expenditure is related to personnel costs vs % of China expenditures related to personnel costs. What is the Chinese private equivalent salary vs. US private equivalent salary? Does China pay their military or are they "ordered" to serve? Thank you.
Romney is a representation of the corrupt corporations like Bain Capital whose immoral practices coldly leads to tons of jobs lost which these companies non-chalantly just chalk up to doing business instead of corrupt practices. The tea party is disengenious because why would you support someone who stands for the illegal practices of corporations who almost got us into one of the greatest depressions, if not for Obama, and a high national dept....the very things that you claim to despise.Companies like Bain is mostly about a profit than the passion of making something successful for the people and self.
"I'm so far in a jump ahead of you, Wolfi; you'd think I was as spy!" Quote: WASHINGTON – The United States has reached a deal to sell $3.48 billion worth of missiles and related technology to the United Arab Emirates, a close Mideast ally, as part of a massive buildup of defense technology among friendly Mideast nations near Iran.
Pentagon spokesman George Little announced the Christmas Day sale on Friday night.
He noted that the U.S. and U.A.E. have a strong defense relationship and are both interested in "a secure and stable" Persian Gulf region.
The deal includes 96 missiles, along with supporting technology and training support that Little says will bolster the nation's missile defense capacity.
The deal includes a contract with Lockheed Martin to produce the highly sophisticated Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, weapon system for the U.A.E Unquote.
