Let me see. Who is getting 30 billion MORE in arms over the next few years from the US? Who has a cruise-missile, nuclear tipped submarine? Who has the top of the line US-designed aircraft and AWACs control systems? Who has a larger standing army per capita than Israel?
no one.

AIPAC managed to cancel a public discussion scheduled for next month in Chicago - two professors wrote a book showing that kowtowing to Israel has served neither US interests, nor Israel's as well as AIPAC would have you believe. At least they were not able to cancel the publication of the book.

Are the rumors that AIPAC is a major funder of Freedom's Watch true? Hmmmm.

missile gap?

doesnt this sound suspicously like a Team B re-run, of 70s/80s neo-con (before they were the neocons) scaremongering in order to boost militarism.

turns out the nukular weapons gap they were spouting on about was a product of their own imaginations.

taking bets now on this being similar
