Prisoners of War

The US Congress has passed a $633 billion military spending bill:

To put these expenditures into perspective, the budget for all of fiscal year 2013 for food stamps, the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), was $76.4 billion, only 12 percent of the figure designated for the military in 2014. A Republican proposal in the Farm Bill, which Congress has yet to pass, would cut $39 billion over the next decade from this vital nutrition program.

Some 1.3 million Americans will lose their sole income at the end of this month when the federal government ends extended unemployment benefits. The $25.6 billion spent on these benefits in 2013 is dwarfed by the massive spending on the military apparatus and its destructive weaponry slated for fiscal year 2014.

Folks, all of our "enemies" are ones we created ourselves. Obama ad-Dajjal and the Pentagon have made us all prisoners of war and, like the wrongfully kidnapped men imprisoned in Gitmo, refuse to ever let us go.
