Bush Signs Defense Spending Bills.......wOOt! -
10-23-2002, 01:21 PM
WASHINGTON — "Our nation faces grave new dangers, and our nation must fully support the men and women of our military who confront these dangers on our behalf," Bush said before signing legislation providing a hefty increase in defense spending and financing for military construction projects in 2003.
The $355.4 billion defense bill, approved with overwhelming support to provide most of what Bush requested, increases spending by more than $34 billion over the previous fiscal year. "Any time the United States of America sends our youngsters into harm's way they deserve the best pay, the best training and the best possible equipment. ... It doesn't matter how long it takes to defend freedom, we'll do it. ... We have a duty to future generations of Americans to make this land secure.
the defense measure increases spending in almost every area, from weapons procurement to payroll. It includes a 4.1 percent pay raise for military personnel and almost all the $7.4 billion Bush requested to keep developing a national missile defense system.
The defense bill also provides $3.3 billion for 15 C-17 transport aircraft, $2.3 billion for two Aegis destroyers, $3.2 billion for 46 Navy F/A-18 E/F fighters and $3.5 billion to continue developing the Joint Strike Fighter. Another $249 million is allotted for Navy Tomahawk cruise missiles, a prime weapon in the Persian Gulf War.

Well maybe if that dumb fucking hick thats called the "president" didn't spend so many hundred million carpet bombing the middle east and acheiving the result of making a few big holes in the sand, they wouldn't need more missiles.

Well I see it this way, Clinton was in the process of castrating the military, Bush is just putting this back were they should be and, adding alittle more.
P.S. Founding, the Canucks did'nt burn Washington the Brits did.
