When was that chart made?
I thought we were spending over $450 billion, not including Iraq.
You won't get any arguments from me that some change in priorities is needed.
Still this isn't just a Republican issue, I bet the chart would have been very similar during Clinton's administration.
Have a good weekend

Have a good weekend. But Clinton wasn't threatening to invade everywhere under the sun and telling others that they are overspending on defence. The word is hypocrisy.

Getting around to reciprocating your visit to Blue Gal (I'm currently vay cay'ing in Canada still but found an internet cafe.) You are so very "one of us." Welcome to the party, and the blogroll. xoxo

Clinton was closer than most think in invading North Korea in 98. What a mess that would have been, especially if China decided to intervene.
The Clinton administration made one miscalculation after another in dealing with Kosovo.
President Clinton and his advisers justified their decision to use force with two arguments: that NATO bombing was needed to prevent a Serbian military offensive in Kosovo with attendant "ethnic cleansing," and that vigorous action was essential to prevent the Kosovo conflict from spilling over into neighboring states, eerily reminiscent of faulty U.S. assumptions during the Vietnam War.
Clinton had no problem bombing Serbia for 78 days and killing thousands of innocent victims.

Many see this as when United States/Russian relations started deteriorating..which are getting worse even today.
Bombing the Chinese Embassy wasn't very good for Sino/American relationships either.

ducky, you seem to forget that Clinton also ran a detention center out of Gitmo. Ask the Haitians about their "due process".
In a legal ruling, The judge reasoned that because Guantanamo Bay is under the "complete jurisdiction and control" of the United States, prisoners there had to be accorded certain fundamental constitutional rights.

Finally, Clinton's last military budget came in just under $300 billion; far larger than Herbert Walker Bush's.

I think both Presidents missed the opportunity to fully bankroll Social Security/Medicaid-Medicare/education and other needed programs.

Really? How many US soldiers died there? What kind of disarray is there now? Puhleez, don't begin to talk about one micalculation after another without beginning and ending the discussion with the Moron.

And why is it that the Bushies always try to make parallels with Clinton. If you hated him so much, this seems to be a damning indictment.

And Clinton hasn't nearly fucked up Haiti as Bush has, and the US didn't give some resolution demanding that the US close Guantanimo detention center.

Clinton restored a democratically elected president in Haiti. Bush removed one.

Get over your fixation with Clinton. Under Clinton, whatever his faults, the US was loved. Now we're hated. And the "Party of Responsibility" will eventually have to move beyond bullshit pablum and take some.

Thanks, Blue Gal,

You and yours are welcome here. As are Rethuglicans willing to engage in open and honest discussion.

Hat tip to AC for defending his illusions.

Now who is being delusional?
Why were our embassies bombed in Nigeria? What about the first attempt at the World Trade Center...I'm not even going to dignify this comment by continuing to list terrorist attacks made against the United States under Clinton's administration.
How ridiculous

Delusional? You don't even know Nigeria from Kenya.

And loved is a relative term,

The US is DESPISED now.

Having a couple of people hate you is not like having the world think you're fascist (and be right).

No delusions here. You need to look outside the US
