I ranted and raved on another thread about how we can’t seem to get technology in the air and how we have become collectively safety cowards.
In less than a generation, we will be bowing and bowing/scraping to the Chicoms and Russkies, since our weapon systems will be backward-looking and useless.
IMHO.

"But Rinn's top customer - Secretary of Defense Robert Gates - remains opposed to making the $6 billion programme operational."Secretary Gates explained, "The current administration really, really hates the military.
We prefer talking and bowing for defense."
To: TheClintons-STILLAnti-American
Why does Gates grow some balls and really hand it to the President?

Gates should tell the President to stop living in a fantasy world and the situation is dire.

I wish we could just shut up about it and loiter it over the Mid East and zap some diaper heads. When the Iranians test fire a rocket, we test our laser.
I can't understand why everyone must know everything during a war. As far as I'm concerned, we could ductape a garbage can on the front of a 747 and "whisper" that we have a death ray now.

Gates should tell the President to stop living in a fantasy world and the situation is dire. He won't because Gates is a pliable apparatchik.

Here's the idiot telling everyone what he would do...you can include NASA in his statement:
"IN 52 SECS BARACK OBAMA SAID HE WOULD CUT AMERICA'S MILITARY DEFENSE SYSTEMS"
