Meanwhile the article forgot to mention that the US secret military budget (that even Congressman cannot see) is something like 'larger than the combined spending of the next five largest military powers'. That is just the secret parts of our military spending.

Meanwhile, if China, et al were such a risk, then why would the US be destroying its military might on trivial events in Iraq? Thanks to iraq, the US military now needs something like $75billion just to refurbish or replace existing equipment.

No problem. "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter", said Cheney. Therefore the Chinese get richer.
