I'm tired of funding militaries around the world while the American people get shat on.
"Gates Promises Help for Indonesian Military"
"Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates pledged arms upgrades and other Pentagon support for Indonesia on Monday, as the Bush administration forged closer ties to the military of a country still viewed skeptically by some in Congress for past human rights abuses.
During a series of meetings in Jakarta, Mr. Gates tried to broaden the focus of American relations with Indonesia beyond the fight against terrorist networks, giving only passing mention to the threats they represent, in a speech before a group of foreign policy experts.
Instead, he emphasized the emergence of Indonesia as the “bedrock” of Southeast Asia and vowed that the United States would help to shore up the country’s aging military hardware....
In his speech on Monday, Mr. Gates occasionally struck humble chords, admitting that at times the United States had been “arrogant” in dealings with other countries.
Gee, that gets you in trouble here in AmeriKa!
Just ask Mike Buckahee!!!!
Mr. Gates called the development of Indonesia’s military “a key component” of relations between the United States and Indonesia, and “a vital aspect of Indonesia’s emergence as a prosperous and stable democracy with global reach....”
Oh, I see!
This is all about the New World Order!!!!
