2008 Everything Old Is New Again: Giuliani Brings Back the Cold War

Widening the collection of people/things/places that a potential Rudy Giuliani presidency would like to bomb, The Des Moines Register reports that the former New York mayor wants a major increase in military spending to deal with the looming threat of… China and Russia.
Yes, the Cold War is back for 2008, and better than ever:
Giuliani said in response to a question about relations with China that the United States needs a bigger military, including at least 10 more combat brigades and a 300-ship Navy.“If we do that, it will send a very strong signal to China and then Russia … that it doesn’t make sense to challenge us,” he said.
For those looking for even deeper background on Cold War 2008, Alexander Zaitchik of Moscow’s The Exile has an in-depth rundown of our new found interest in even bigger and uglier world conflict.
Is this why the beltway MSM is pushing for Guilani and Clinton?
Hmmm. At least we'll have cool James Bond movies.
Right now the mainstream media is pushing for connections between Rudy and his about-to-be-indicted ex-police chief Bernie Kerik. I think Giuliani's day in the sun is coming to an end.
unless you're going to run this bigger military on GOP hot air, you've got a problem.
we need to cut our miltary in HALF - we outspend the rest of the planet combined.
Giuliani a carpetbagging ghoul still feeding on the 9/11 dead.
His head is so far into his ass, he thinks he's reached a new level of awareness.
It's still dark Rudy,
just don't inhale.
oh come on, @3, all we have to do is cut taxes on the rich again and that will pay for a bigger military, right?
