any fuck who wants to be in iraq for 100 years aint getting my vote. i say we cut the financial aid to israel, pull out of iraq and afganistan, and the 100 other countries we have troops in, and spend that money on infrastructure, education, technology and the environment

Republican presidential front-runner Sen. John McCain on Thursday defended his statement that U.S. troops could spend "maybe 100" years in Iraq -- saying he was referring to a military presence similar to what the nation already has in places like Japan, Germany and South Korea.

Foreign presence is very useful for eliminating nuclear proliferation. You're a superpower now, USA -- you will need to keep some control over your enemies. So neither Dem nor Republican is going to do that.

But if we slashed welfare and some of the staggering other third of our gov't that is social programs, as well as gov't itself, we could have plenty of money to do that.

Interestingly, we do spend a lot of money on technology r&d -- but it's called military spending.
