Here's a war president's wet dream - cash he can spend for any war he wants, no questions asked:
The House Appropriations Committee has today unveiled its draft version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), a $575 billion bill that includes some $59 billion worth of money for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), the controversial fund which the Pentagon is allowed to shuffle around.
This actually looks like a cut from last year’s $612 billion bill, but provides a deliberately misleading figure, as it includes only the first four months of 2017 war funding, with the assumption that whoever wins the November election will seek “emergency funding” to cover the rest of the year.

How much of this money actually will be spent for "defense"? Little if any, in my estimation. Doesn't it seem like that Nobel Peace Prize was completely undeserved?
And our next presidential wannabee (Ms. H. Rodham) far exceeded the criminality of Iran-Contra in the brazen ways she funded and executed the destruction of Libya and Syria. Should she get hold of our official and black budget purse strings, it will be "bombs away" in a manner that will put even Squealer John McCain to shame:

By the way, how much you want to bet the gent asking McCain that question in the video was an Israeli plant? We're gonna keep getting this "OMG - Iran might get the bomb !!!" bullshit crammed down our throats until we obliterate them, so why don't we just get it over with?
