Also, the media will be complicit with whatever Obama does. They love the government but the military is a waste.

Some at Redstate may tire of my predictability but WE ARE AT WAR PEOPLE!! The left seeks to turn us to socialism and disarm us so we do not have any military options to defend our interests.

Then Hillary can talk and talk and talk. And then Obama can have foreign policy photo ops. The media will gleefully cover all these “historic” meetings but after the headline is gone America will be getting steadily weaker and the world will become a more dangerous place.

The delusion is that these Islamist and secular totalitarian forces will live and let live with leftists – that they well let the leftists live their own lives in peace if they sacrifice the rest of the world. The old delusion that you can buy-off the barbarians at the gate.

Multi-millions or even billions will die, I’m afraid, if the left is able to disarm our military might and our economy – either from terrorist and/or collapse of the economic and civil infrastructures.

Not sure how long it will take to reach that point of no return, but if we don’t start changing the momentum by 2010 or 2012, we will be in for a very rude awakening for survival that will test us to the core.

And, again the dividends we have benefitted from are of no significance to the COW, (teleprompter Jesus, IceCreamMan, SpeedBump Musim, pick one), because his special interests come before the military…

Couple this with the fact the he ignored General Petraeus with his “I won” comment and now the tyrant Ahmuhnutjob has thrown his words and actions back at him means we are in deep kimche.
I say again, is this President in the closet with his true alliances and ready to cave to the Muslim world?

As posited on your previous post: A 30% increase in defense spending would bring it in line with the historical averages.

Given the urgent need for the US to get out in front of the efforts to secure “space,” while simultaneously honoring our international obligations,I’m not convinced that a 30% increase in defense spending will be enough.

The Obama administration had a bunch of closed door meeting with defense industry leaders in the first week … and judging by the # of my relatives now looking for work, it’s pretty clear that Obama intends to slash defense spending.

Defense contractors tend to be ex-military Republicans — and Obama has already shown an extreme unwillingness to help that particular class of Americans. Obama is very good at targeting his spending – why give money to Republicans when he can give that money to Democrats? He’s gonna massively increase govt spending on almost every govt function — except defense.

“I will cut 10′s of billions of dollars in wasteful spending, I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems” and “I will not weaponize space, I will slow our development of future combat systems and I will institute an independent defense priority board to ensure that the quadrennial (every 4 years) review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.” and “I will set a goal for a world without nuclear weapons, I will not develop new nuclear weapons, I will seek a global ban production of missile material and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBM’s OFF air trigger alert and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal” He also pledged to end the war in Iraq and bragged he was the “only candidate against this war from the beginning”!!!

Elections have consequences – THANKS Kool Aide sipping geniuses who voted for this guy!!!

I’m getting one of Rush’s new Club Gitmo shirts “when America was safe” “water” “board” shirts – funny and cool shirt but in reality of the situation how sad but true.

This is startling when compared to the things the Democrats want to fund instead.

A 10% cut will wreak havoc on troops in the field, one way or another. Not a good idea!

Any time is a bad time to cut defense, but this is the worst of times to be doing it.
