No shit its the objective of the military to win.
Pretty much everyone here agrees with it.
The differnece is that some people dont seem to care the gov't would lie about it, and others do care.
If Bush / higher ups didn't order it, then thats more disturbing. Why? Because the military is willing to use its weapons that were not authorized or that the gov't DID NOT know about.
Coup d'etat anyone? When the military starts thinking by itself, starts developing weapons for itself, all in secret and away from the gov't, then you have problems.
All it has to do is fall into the wrong hands and blam, this country could be in deep shit.
Think about it - if Bush / officials didn't know about it, then the military is willing to use weapons to go to war the populace doesn't want.
Oh wait and I thought that people ruled this country, not the military.
IF anyone here thinks its not going towards a military/police state - no, maybe not in the short 10 years ahead, but 50? Very possible.
