US blows budget on Libya while facing economic crisis

Spaniards are saying that they got thrown into war under pressure from Washington — a war which is costing Spain the money it doesn't have and is leaving their citizens piping mad as a result. While the US is continuing its over-budget mission against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi without too much resistance at home, America isn't able to pay its bills. David Swanson, campaigner for progressive organization Roots Action, explains why there is this reaction of war in Spain but not in the States.

It's quite amusing to watch the American's typical apologetic attitude when their most beloved two term president is mentioned.

Not Europe asshole, it's France and the UK and the US just could have abstained or even voted No in the fucking UN Security Council but no, they motherfucking voted YES. Get this into your fucking skull you fucking cunt, the USA wants this fucking war because they are fucking war mongering and torturing barbarians just like France and the UK. And no I'm neither a Russian nor a fucking Muslim.

@Stringyheads Exactly.

@MetalSights just to add to my last post the truth is China Like to have America in debit to them as it keeps the yuan weeker than the $ and makes for cheaper export and creates more jobs for workers in China. America likes to be in Chinas pocket as it keeps consumer prices down, So who would have thought its a win win, In regards to you 1 Tillion $ estamation i think yes you are closer to the figure than i thought.

It all gose to show the Oriental Business persons are very clever.

@Stringyheads We owe China 1 TRILLION dollars. If our american dollar loses value, ESPECIALLY from an invasion, they won't get their money back. Do you think they want that? Of course not, that's the logic of a moron.
