It was the UN security council that approved the mission in Libya, our NATO is part of the mission, which is how it always works.
That's the ruse... yeah if you take out what our military is using as a cost, it's an expenditure. But that's now exactly how it works. We've already funded & set aside arms for these conflicts, anything new coming is paid for by the U.N., through our funds and others. Then we profit on the arm deals, troop pay, etc.
Edit: We do fund transportation, repair, and the actual systems our military uses.
The issue with that is, the Fed never removes the money coming back in off the books, so it looks like money is always going out. We pay out some billions to the U.N. and when we profit back, it's through our Military or Corps, which never report back to the fed (because they aren't a bank) on what was earned.
Yet we profit by the billions.... it's just the tax payer is of course screwed over, we pay for it, corps make the profits, we pay for it again down the road.
If drones are people then so are airplanes, they are after all being controlled by people, other than one guy can be on the other side of the world doing it.
I'm just glad he's not using the war terror crap to do it. And no, I don't agree with the shit going on in Libya or any war/conflict or nation we are in, for any reason.
