An introduction by Tom Engelhardt:

Hey, aren't we the most exceptional nation in history? George Bush and his pals thought so -- and they were in a great American tradition of exceptionalism. Of course, they were imagining us as the most exceptional empire in history (or maybe at the end of it), the ultimate New Rome. Anyway, explain this to me: Among all the exceptional things we claim to do, how come we never take credit for what may be the most exceptional of all, our success of successes, the thing that makes us uniquely ourselves on this war-ridden planet -- peddling more arms to Earthlings than anyone else in the neighborhood? Why do we hide this rare talent under a bushel? In the interest of shining a proud light on an underrated national skill, I asked Frida Berrigan to return the United States to its rightful place in the Pantheon of arms-dealing nations.

U.S. takes gold in arms olympics


They don't call us the sole superpower for nothing. Paul Wolfowitz might be looking for a new job right now, but the term he used to describe the pervasiveness of U.S. might back when he was a mere deputy secretary of defense -- hyperpower -- still fits the bill.

Face it, the United States is a proud nation of firsts. Among them:

First in oil consumption:

The United States burns up 20.7 million barrels per day, the equivalent of the oil consumption of China, Japan, Germany, Russia, and India combined.
First in carbon dioxide emissions:
Each year, world polluters pump 24,126,416,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the environment. The United States and its territories are responsible for 5.8 billion metric tons of this, more than China (3.3 billion), Russia (1.4 billion) and India (1.2 billion) combined.
First in external debt:
The United States owes $10.040 trillion, nearly a quarter of the global debt total of $44 trillion.
First in military expenditures:
The White House has requested $481 billion for the Department of Defense for 2008, but this huge figure does not come close to representing total U.S. military expenditures projected for the coming year. To get a sense of the resources allocated to the military, the costs of the global war on terrorism, of the building, refurbishing, or maintaining of the U.S. nuclear arsenal and other expenses also need to be factored in. Military analyst Winslow Wheeler did the math recently: "Add $142 billion to cover the anticipated costs of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; add $17 billion requested for nuclear weapons costs in the Department of Energy; add another $5 billion for miscellaneous defense costs in other agencies ... and you get a grand total of $647 billion for 2008."
Taking another approach to the use of U.S. resources, Columbia University economist Joseph Stiglitz and Harvard Business School lecturer Linda Bilmes added to known costs of the war in Iraq invisible costs like its impact on global oil prices as well as the long-term cost of healthcare for wounded veterans and came up with a price tag of between $1 trillion and $2.2 trillion.
If we turned what the United States will spend on the military in 2008 into small bills, we could give each one of the world's more than 1 billion teenagers and young adults an Xbox 360 with wireless controller (power supply in remote rural areas not included) and two video games to play: maybe Gears of War and Command and Conquer would be appropriate. But if we're committed to fighting obesity, maybe Dance Dance Revolution would be a better bet. The United States alone spends what the rest of the world combined devotes to military expenditures.
First in weapons sales:
Since 2001, U.S. global military sales have normally totaled between $10 and $13 billion. That's a lot of weapons, but in fiscal year 2006, the Pentagon broke its own recent record, inking arms sales agreements worth $21 billion. It almost goes without saying that this is significantly more than any other nation in the world.
In this gold-medal tally of firsts, there can be no question that things that go bang in the night are our proudest products. No one makes more of them or sells them more effectively than we do. When it comes to the sorts of firsts that once went with a classic civilian manufacturing base, however, gold medals are in short supply. To take an example:

Not first in automobiles:
Once, Chrysler, General Motors and Ford ruled the domestic and global roost, setting the standard for the automotive industry. Not any more. In 2006, the United States imported almost $150 billion more in vehicles and auto parts than it sent abroad. Automotive analyst Joe Barker told the Boston Globe, "It's a very tough environment" for the so-called Detroit Three. "In times of softening demand, consumers typically will look to brands that they trust and rely on. Consumers trust and rely on Japanese brands."
Not even first in bulk goods:
The Department of Commerce recently announced total March exports of $126.2 billion and total imports of $190.1 billion, resulting in a goods and services deficit of $63.9 billion. This is a $6 billion increase over February.
But why be gloomy? Stick with arms sales and it's dawn in America every day of the year. Sometimes, the weapons industry pretends that it's like any other trade -- especially when it's pushing our congressional representatives (as it always does) for fewer restrictions and regulations. But don't be fooled. Arms aren't automobiles or refrigerators. They're sui generis; they are the way the United States can always be No. 1 -- and everyone wants them. The odds that, in your lifetime, there will ever be a $128 billion trade deficit in weapons are essentially nil. Arms are our real gold-medal event.

First in sales of surface-to-air missiles:
Between 2001 and 2005, the United States delivered 2,099 surface-to-air missiles to nations in the developing world, 20 percent more than Russia, the next-largest supplier.
First in sales of military ships:
During that same period, the United States sent 10 "major surface combatants" like aircraft carriers and destroyers to developing nations. Collectively, the four major European weapons producers shipped 13. (And we were first in the anti-ship missiles that go along with such ships, with nearly double [338] the exports of the next largest supplier Russia [180]).
First in military training:
A thoughtful empire knows that it is not enough to send weapons; you have to teach people how to use them. The Pentagon plans on training the militaries of 138 nations in 2008 at a cost of nearly $90 million. No other nation comes close.
First in private military personnel:
According to bestselling author Jeremy Scahill, there are at least 126,000 private military personnel deployed alongside uniformed military personnel in Iraq alone. Of the more than 60 major companies that supply such personnel worldwide, more than 40 are U.S.-based.
Rest assured, governments around the world, often at each others' throats, will want U.S. weapons long after their people have turned up their noses at a range of once dominant American consumer goods.

Just a few days ago, for instance, the "trade" publication Defense News reported that Turkey and the United States signed a $1.78 billion deal for Lockheed Martin's F-16 fighter planes. As it happens, these planes are already ubiquitous -- Israel flies them, so does the United Arab Emirates, Poland, South Korea, Venezuela, Oman and Portugal, not to speak of most other modern air forces. In many ways, the F-16 is not just a high-tech fighter jet, it's also a symbol of U.S. backing and friendship. Buying our weaponry is one of the few ways you can actually join the American imperial project!

In order to remain No. 1 in the competitive jet field, Lockheed Martin, for example, does far more than just sell airplanes. TAI, Turkey's aerospace corporation, will receive a boost with this sale, because Lockheed Martin is handing over responsibility for parts of production, assembly and testing to Turkish workers. The Turkish air force already has 215 F-16 fighter planes and also plans to buy 100 of Lockheed Martin's new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter over the next 15 years in a deal estimated at $10.7 billion. That's $10.7 billion on fighter planes for a country that ranks 94th on the United Nations' Human Development Index, below Lebanon, Colombia and Grenada, and far below all the European nations that Ankara is courting as it seeks to join the European Union. Now that's a real American sales job for you!

Here's the strange thing, though: This genuine, gold-medal manufacturing-and-sales job on weapons simply never gets the attention it deserves. As a result, most Americans have no idea how proud they should be of our weapons manufacturers and the Pentagon -- essentially our global sales force -- which makes sure our weapons travel the planet and regularly demonstrates their value in small wars from Latin America to Central Asia.

Of course, there's tons of data on the weapons trade, but who knows about any of it? I'm typical here. I help produce one of a dozen or so sober annual (or semiannual) reports quantifying the business of war making. In my case, the Arms Trade Resource Center report "U.S. Weapons at War: Fueling Conflict or Promoting Freedom?" These reports get desultory, obligatory press attention, but only once in a blue moon do they get the sort of full-court press treatment that befits our No. 1 product line.

Dense collections of facts, percentages and comparisons don't seem to fit particularly well into the usual patchwork of front page stories. And yet the mainstream press is a glory ride, compared to the TV news, which hardly acknowledges most of the time that the weapons business even exists.

In any case, that inside-the-fold, fact-heavy, wonky news story on the arms trade, however useful, can't possibly convey the gold-medal feel of a business that has always preferred the shadows to the sun. No reader checking out such a piece is going to feel much, except maybe overwhelmed by facts. The connection between the factory that makes a weapons system and the community where that weapon "does its duty" is invariably missing in action, as are the relationships among the companies making the weapons and the generals (on-duty and retired) and politicians making the deals, or raking in their own cut of the profits for themselves and/or their constituencies. In other words, our most successful (and most deadly) export remains our most invisible one.

Maybe the only way to break through this paralysis of analysis would be to stop talking about weapons exports as a trade at all. Maybe we shouldn't be using economic language to describe it. Yes, the weapons industry has associations, lobby groups, and trade shows. They have the same trifold exhibits, scale models, and picked-over buffets as any other industry; still, maybe we have to stop thinking about the export of fighter planes and precision-guided missiles as if they were so many widgets and start thinking about them in another language entirely -- the language of drugs.

After all, what does a drug dealer do? He creates a need and then fills it. He encourages an appetite or (even more lucratively) an addiction and then feeds it.

Arms dealers do the same thing. They suggest to foreign officials that their military just might need a slight upgrade. After all, they'll point out, haven't you noticed that your neighbor just upgraded in jets, submarines and tanks? And didn't you guys fight a war a few years back? Doesn't that make you feel insecure? And why feel insecure for another moment when, for just a few billion bucks, we'll get you suited up with the latest model military, even better than what we sold them, or you, the last time around.

Why does Turkey, which already has 215 fighter planes, need 100 extras in an even higher-tech version? It doesn't, but Lockheed Martin, working the Pentagon, made them think they did.

We don't need stronger arms control laws, we need a global sobriety coach -- and some kind of 12-step program for the dealer nation as well.

Let's not leave out the people who brought this hard-fought victory to the bank account of every American: Congress.

Every Defense contractor knows the best way to ensure longevity in a major weapons program is to chop up the procurement process and put a factory in each of the 50 states.

This gaurantees that a program will have the support of at least 50 Senators and at least 50 Reps for the decades that it takes to milk every last dime of profit out of the US Treasury.

And then comes the Final Frontier, the Holy Grail for US DoD contractors: foreign treasuries. When the Foreign Military Sales cycle starts, gold literaly rains down from the heavens.

First in Amputations
Posted by: igoeja on May 22, 2007 3:52 AM   
Current rating: Not yet rated    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Some time ago, I did my own research on America, to see where it is the best, first, most, etc. I didn't find anything positve to report:

Essentially America leads the world in expenditures and revenues for the military, and in many facets of business/economic affairs. It also has the highest percentage of its population imprisoned, and performs the most amputations.

The US ranks miserably on measures of social welfare education, health, work hours, obesity, and poverty. Oddly, a majority of Americans believe this country is great or best, according to a poll last year. American's have little idea of what the rest of the developed world is like...

This should be reason enough for us to realize that neither of the corporate-backed war parties are really going to end this war. Only through immense pressure on the politicians - by we the people - will bring it to an end.

War is the health of the state. It brings massive power and profits to the politicians and their backers....all at the expense of those who are ruthlessly killed.

The time to end the war is now. Not next fall and not next year. Not next month. Now.

Never mind we have a budget in the trillions for foreign aid. Never mind we respond to natural disasters like the tsunami a while back, helping millions. Never mind we built up Germany and Japan after defeating them in war. Now they are among the strongest democracies in the world. My family has flourished in this country because we have worked hard and have been self-reliant. WE LOVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!!!!!

We are #1! We also are #1 country into which people, especially illegals, trying to emigrate. I know it seems odd, considering that the USA is the most evil, racist, exploitative, repressive, backwards, and stupid country in the world, but more people try/do move here every year than any other country in the world! They even come across illegally risking, literally life-and-limb, in shipping containers, unclimate controlled trucks, hidden in compartments, crossing deserts, using violent coyotes, swimming polluted/flooded rivers, and stowing away in airplane landing gears to come to the USA! Go figure. I guess the majority of the people on earth haven't heard the news how bad the USA is. Please tell them so they don't come over and ruin it even more with their disease, crimes, backwards religions practices, sexism, large families, etc.

The macho-duck who bragged about how badass the US is has the same disease as the Bushies. They have the "Amnesia, Apathy, Headinthesand, Fascistworship syndrome". Empires implode or just go broke. The US is tough now but we are selling everyone else the weapons they will use against us as we become more hated. China, Japan and India could bankrupt us now but don't want to impede the cash flow. If we Americans don't kick the goofballs out of this government, we can look forward to a North America Third World Naton. Just take a peek at our pathetic healthcare. Our public education system is a farce and must have taught that macho-duck what he knows of history and empires and bullies. Jump in your SUV's and Hummers and keep your heads in the sand while your ass is in the air ready for a swift kick by the robber barons as they laugh all the way to an offshore bank. Ready for revolution!

Acceptance Speech

Current rating: Not yet rated    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
I'd like to thank the Academy for this honor, we've worked so hard to get here today. And let's not forget all the little people who made this award possible:

To my broker, who advised me to invest in the T-Bills that underwrote the defense industry, instead of paying for higher education for my sons - who are now on the ground in Afghanistan... Semper Fi, boys!

To my accountant, who showed me how to park my Limited Liability Partnership income in an offshore Guernsey bank where the IRS can't touch it, which gave Congress an excuse to slash welfare and divert more debt to the DoD...

To my Congressional representative, you really did it all! You chopped up DoD weapons programs and made sure that our district had a factory or sub-contractor on every major system since the Sgt. York Air Defense Tank - sure, it never worked, but way to go!

And last, but not least, to my third wife. You're the true light of my life, my soul mate, my reason to wake up every morning. My tax-deductible gift recipient, not to exceed $11,000 in any fiscal year, unless (like us) we set up a blind trust in the Caymans.

Go Big D! We're number one!

Pentagon Procurement System is a GIANT scam
Posted by: fanny666 on May 22, 2007 2:15 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
The revolving door of the military-indistrial complex has become exactly what Eisenhower predicted, a system where no one is accountable in the Department of Defense. After WWII, business leaders realized that government spending DOES stimulate a morbid capital economy (just like John Maynard Keynes said it would). Charles Wilson, the CEO of GE articulated it very well when he explained that for the US economy to continue rolling, there would have to be a "permanent war economy". So now we have a system which bears almost no likeness to the Free Market Capitalism right-wingers keep telling us we have. We don't. Not even close. What we have are Free Market Fantasies.

It's how we ended up with a system where troops don't have the right clothing or armor or PTSD support, but we pay for the most expensive piece of junk ever created, the F-22, which is using 20 year-old technology.

The right is *NOT* opposed to government spending. They just want it all to be a subsidy to high tech industry, so investors can make more money off it.

May be it's not the hypocrisy thing or as Al Gore calls it, "assault on reason". May be it's a new disease that makes it ok to preach the "culture of life" while killing people at the same time. Just press a button! You don't have to watch them die. Jesus must be proud of the so-called Christian Majority. He must be twisting and turning in his grave. Poor guy!!!

.....happen to be NASA, not DoD, planes. That photo was taken at the NASA facility located on Edwards Air Force Base in California. As hard as DoD and Bush try, though, NASA is still not an official arm of defense - Alternet photo editor pls take note. I'm sure DoD would happily provide free pix of military aircraft if you ask.
