The Obama administration has asked the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon's budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent -- about $55 billion -- a senior U.S. defense official tells FOX News.

counting the bank bailouts there will be $4 trillion in new spending this year or something like that. Of course the military needs a big cut.
what did we think O wuold do to the military?
With Al Sadyr already in Iraq, and no strong President or USA to stop them, they will move on Israel first, and then take out the unstable government in Iraq, which will give up without a fight. The Saudi’s will be forced to join up with them. They may even establish a Central government, based in Iran.
America has grown so weak they won't be able to respond in time. Obama definitely does not have a clue about what to do and will surely do all the wrong things. His knowledge of military operations is as astute as his knowledge of White House fire places. In other words, call in the Fire Trucks.
Thisis what happens when you elect an anti-American President.
There is no doubt in my mind that those man was put into this position because he was groomed for it and intends to destroy us from within
Anyone who didn’t see this from miles away and at least a year ago is an utter fool. Nothing has ever been so obvious.
IMHO you do not put men into the field ie: Afghanistan and then tab them in the back with budget cuts!
A 9/10 President in a 9/12 world. He’s gonna get a lot of us killed.
I guess all of the jobs lost by defense contractors are not the kind of jobs he cares about.
Time to refresh my resume.
How can I use non-kinetic doctrinal pradigm into community organizing?
The way you cut the defense budget is by cutting people. Does he really want to reduce the military manpower? Along with increasing our troops in A?
Millions for my minions, but not a penny for defense!
Gotta’ love this one. Let’s take away from the Military, and give ACORN 20% of all sale revenues of distressed assets.
Freakin’ illegal, Socialist bastage!
I KNEW this was coming. It was only a matter of time. He can’t pay for the porkulus bill, so raid that old favorite lib cash cow, the military.
We are all going to pay a very dear price for electing this POS. My God, America, what were you thinking????????
agreed
nail on the head
remember Russia invades and this buffoon after a few days says he hopes the country which is invaded shows restraint.
I’ve just been to the gun shop and not one place in my area let alone town of st Augustine has 9mil or 38 ammo.
This is the era of islam spreading like wildfire and we will have nothing to stop them taking over countries
You’re a right Iran is loving all of this and phony is sending love notes to them. I’d love to know what is on his blackberry
Quelle surprise! New tagline is required.
And therein lies the rub.
You see, President Obama and Congress have excellent security and run a minimal risk of being the target of a terrorist attack.
The citizens, on the other hand, are an excellent source of soft targets....sports venues, music concerts, and other gatherings.
Since terrorists will go for the soft targets, the President and Congress relish getting the opportunity to demonstrate their courage and leadership post-attack.
Remember how the media lamented President Bush getting all the glory after 9/11? Remember how they remarked that all that glory should have gone to President Gore?
This is their opportunity to look like strong leaders and enact some "caring" legislation.....as Rahm Emmanuel said "no crisis should be left unexploited".
Visualize whirled peas.
Wavy Gravy for SECDEF.
Congress wants to further cut the budget by 25%, according to Barney Frank. The next defense appropriations bill will reflect this change.
