Hmmm, I had not looked at it that way but you have convinced me. In fact, you make so much sense I think we should make war against the whole world and continually just bomb the fuck out of everybody. That way the bomb-makers will have to hire more workers to keep up. Of course... all the wounded vets returning will be missing limbs and shit or be emotionally fucked up which costs a lot to have to give them disability for life but hey fuck it, we are gonna fuck them over anyway right? Plus, since we are using depleted uranium shells now, hopefully they will die of cancer before not to long so problem solved. Capatalism at it's best. Thanks for the new perspective Dr. Strangelove

Until the energy issue is fixed, which will take a very long time even if the US started drilling locally today, there's no way they can pull troops/bases etc back home. So IMO his position is all about political support and not based in the reality of the situation.
