Another great clip: Stephen Colbert takes on defense spending

Stephen Colbert again had a masterful segment last night focusing on the out-of-control defense spending.

Keep in mind, the defense industry employs over 600,000 people.  These are American jobs, in American factories, making American instruments of destruction that are as American as napalm pie.  (Just Like Mom Used To Drop)  So, it is so important we cannot cut defense, because developing, building, and selling weapons is a perpetual money-making machine.  ("War Is Sell.") You see, we give the Defense Department billions to develop new weapons to protect us from potential enemies.  A few years later, we sell those weapons to countries all over the world, including potential enemies.  Then, we have no choice but to manufacture newer, better weapons to protect ourselves from what we just sold.  (The Circle Of Taking Life) You know, that reminds me.  This year's defense budget was only $725 billion.  That's not nearly enough!  I hear Saudi Arabia has F-15s now!  They're going to use them to come after our strategic reserve of scrap and trash!  (Oh No!  Not Baltimore!)

The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was an American think tank based in Washington, D.C. that lasted from early 1997 to 2006. It was co-founded as a non-profit educational organization by neoconservatives William Kristol and Robert Kagan. The PNAC's stated goal was "to promote American global leadership."[1] Fundamental to the PNAC were the view that "American leadership is both good for America and good for the world" and support for "a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity."[2] The PNAC exerted influence on high-level U.S. government officials in the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush and affected the Bush Administration's development of military and foreign policies, especially involving national security and the Iraq War.[3][4]

On September 20, 2001 (nine days after the September 11, 2001 attacks), the PNAC sent a letter to President George W. Bush, advocating "a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq," or regime change: Read more at en.wikipedia.org
