How are we supposed to do all this stuff while drastically cutting military spending - the one area that is Constitutional for the feds to do and yet the one area where Obama is willing to make critically deep cuts?
What the heck does he think he’s doing? I mean, I know what he’s doing but he needs to at least attempt to explain to the USA how we’re supposed to install Islamist regimes all over the globe and still defend our own country on the shoe-string budget he’s willing to let the military have.
We’re already being told we can’t defend our southern border because we just don’t have the manpower to do it. What it takes to make manpower is money, and we’re going to spend all our money instead on air raids to install an Islamist regime in Syria (Iran’s arch-ally), jacking up gas prices in the process so that the air raids will cost even more money?
Somebody needs to haul Obama in for an inquisition.
All of your questions and points are well taken, by me at least.
I still have doubts about this actually being an order form the CINC, rather a trial balloon released to judge public opinion.
This is a major event and would HAVE to go through Congress because of the possible “going south” options. This is a no win proposition for America, there is no upside.
