As long as we continue to exhaust our current arsenal in the war in Iraq and do not have a plan for replenishing materials and manpower China will be happy with their buildup of weaponry.
If we do have a cold war such as we had with Russa WE LOSE.
The US will not condone a military buildup without a serious threat.
In my opinion we now have a serious threat, but the pols are screwing around trying to protect their asses in the coming elections.
I voted for the current Pres, but feel that he has lost controll of the nation and we are spinning our wheels trying to find a way to put out a crisis and watching our enemys laugh up their sleeves.
We as a country have alienated damn near every friend we had. I recently had an occasion to visit Canada during a youth hocky tournament. They are voicing their opinion about America outright. The kids playing were told that we are agressors and not very nice people. I know Mexico is not too good a neighbor at this time. If our immediate bordering countries are shaky, we need some good diplomacy to get them on our side quickly.
Just my opinion!!
