The Super Committee failure to find at least $1.2 trillion in budget cuts over ten years ushers in mandatory across the board cuts in spending. The biggest cuts will be in defense.Approximately $ 60 billion per year for ten years. That's about 10% of the Pentagons spending per year.That fiscal fact along with the draw down from the losing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will leave much of the C.I.A. and The generals twidling their thumbs. And as they say in the armed services, " War is hell but peace is a bitch". So Iran here we come. With a preemptive strike there, the sequester of defense funds will stop and were are off to the carnage again. Count on it.
The only way to stop this madness is to require a National Referendum on any war.
