1. Why are we wasting money on a base in Australia. Their economy is a lot better off than ours they

can build there own bases. And fill them with Bruces :P

2. When are other countries going to start building bases in the U.S.?

Let's get some A$s and Euros moving our way for a change.

4. I´m sure China would be happy to. :)

Can you imagine the Republican brain explosion if a foreign country was allowed to build bases on US soil? :)

3. I thought we had no money?

Always money available for the war machine.

5. US has 900 overseas military bases in 130 countries

"With more than 2,500,000 U.S. personnel serving across the planet and military bases spread across each continent, it's time to face up to the fact that our American democracy has spawned a global empire."

The following is excerpted from Chalmers Johnson's new book, "Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic"
