This discussion is about the financial aspect not military strategy.

they go hand in hand. it takes that much longer to 'win' if you have no strategy and spend your time running around putting out fires.

to win a war you need money, more money and yet more money.
and before you get into it, you better know it's winnable. afganistan has never been winnable. the war on terror isn't winnable. you can't fight it conventionally. it's not a country.

I get that but the two need to be intertwined. If there is no victory objective you will continue to fight and spend or you will have wasted billions (trillions) on an objectiveless war.

Romney wants to not only start a war with Iran asap as outlined here, he wants to increase the defense budget spending, in spite of the Pentagon saying they don't need it.

Why? All those government contracts to the friends of the Bush Year Neocons who are on Romney's foreign policy/defense team. Haliburton and the other defense contractors are losing money quickly under Obama and his budget tightening ways.

What evidence do you have that Romney wants to start a war with Iran?

The second assertion is even more laughable, but I'll bite, what evidence do you have that Romney want to give government contracts to the "friends of the Bush Year Neocons?"

Romney's words on the subject of Israel and Iran over the past year.

The names of Romney's campaign advisors (many of whom are Bush-era neocons) and their previous history with government contracts while working with or advising the Bush-Cheney White House.

Paying attention to politics is worth it.

Where has he said that he wants to start a war with Iran? Let's face it, both of these statements are you talking out of your azz which is nothing new.

So surprising that you would try to worm out of your nonsense with an insult, you are so pathetic.
