“Defending the nation in the years ahead requires actually funding weapons programs and systems that our military can use to do the defending.”

First, there needs to be the indication the CIC and fellow pantywaists intend to defend the country - which I seriously doubt at this point in time.

As always, it's not just the President who makes the budget. Reid and Pelosi send obama a budget to sign. However, obama and Gates have been adamant about cutting up the defense budget, including killing the F-22.

Elections have consequences, but hopefully the next election can undo some of the damage done to the Republic from the last one.

Hey, we won’t need our MILITARY to fulfill our national defense needs. We will have a CIVILIAN National Security Force that is JUST as powerful, JUST as strong, JUST as well funded...

“The veto threat means the F-22 program is effectively cancelled, and the Air Force’s ability to suppress enemy air defenses and establish air supremacy over future battlefields has been degraded.”

The veto threat means the F-22 program is effectively cancelled, and the Air Force’s ability to suppress enemy air defenses and establish air supremacy over future battlefields has been eliminated.

Fixed.

“Given this realignment of funding priorities from the previous Administration, especially cuts in key defense programs, it is difficult to imagine any result other than a decline in the readiness of our military.”

“Spending taxpayer money wisely while funding the necessary tools of national security makes America more secure while also contributing to a vibrant 21st century economy.”

This statement is totally contrary to Hussein & Co intentions and plans for the US. Further, is wishful and nieve thinking on the authors’s part. It’s much like thinking that somehow Hussein’s poll numbers will tank and his action will cause voters to vote him out of office in 2012 - fighting the next war using plans from past wars.

We cannot vote a tyrant out of office.
