"I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else.   If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight.   The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent.   Then the flag follows the dollar, and the soldiers follow the flag."

 

Or this one:  

 

"WAR is a racket.   It always has been.   It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope.   It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.   A racket is best described as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people:   Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about.   It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many.   Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.   In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict.   At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War.   That many virtually admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns.   How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows."

After he had gotten all the information he could get about the scurrilous members of the cabal, Butler reported their plan to the FBI.

 

Next, let me refer you to a great article, War Uber Alles, by Paul Craig Roberts, who says:

 

The United States government cannot seem to get enough of war.   With Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi's regime falling to a rebelling population, CNN reports that a Pentagon spokesman said that the U.S. is looking at all options from the military side.

 

Allegedly, the Pentagon, which is responsible for one million dead Iraqis and an unknown number of dead Afghans and Pakistanis, is now concerned about the deaths of 1,000 Libyan protesters.
