The Blog | Philip Slater: How to Mimic a Third World Regime | The Huffington Post
by Heathyr at 4:17 pm EDT, May 17, 2006

The Pentagon's budget is higher than those of the 25 next highest nations combined. A hundred nations have military budgets smaller than what the Pentagon spends in a day. Fifty have budgets smaller than what the Pentagon spends in two hours. The cost of the Iraq war and its fallout (the long-term health costs from the widespread maiming of our troops, for example) is now estimated at two trillion dollars.

No clue if this is true, but if it's even partially true, it's frightening.
