No. Far more is spent during war. Far more technical advances are made during war than at any other time. Not to mention the huge increase in sales that occurs during and after a war as arsenals are replenished.

Only really nukes are, everything else can and will be used. Even nukes might if such drastic action was required.

I don't like the F22. It's too slow and stealth radars are now available, courtesy of the Ukranians.
A MiG 25 with upgraded weapons systems would blow every other plane out of the sky. Sadly however Hoon is in charge of sourcing, not me.

Indeed, completed pool skills last weekend, and got 92% on the exam. Doing 4 open water dives this weekend and then I'm a qualified PADI Open Water diver!
Wahoo! Plus one of the instructors is as shark mad as I am (actually, he is more so), and I will be discussing with him how to break into swimming with Tigers, Bulls and Whites as he has...
And Goatboy, do you really think that wearing something like a neoprene wetsuit seems odd to someone who wears Star Wars helmets and loads pictures of himself onto the internet in *that* kimono and *those* furry love cuffs?

I dont doubt that.
My point is nobody is arguing Iraqi's didnt want him removed.
The argument is that the reasons offered for invading were groundless, as of yet some months after, we still have not found these "immediate threats".
The salvation of civilians wasn't an issue until they couldn't find, as Rumsfeld boasted "the smoking gun"
So that's a moot argument.

And as was in the paper the next day, they only went because they got given the day off.
Someone mentioned how many Iraqis protested against the war. Well there are a few who stay not far from me, who I see around and know a bit. They all were for his removal.
