I love Dr. Charles Krauthammer, I really do. He is usually the most reasonable man in the room.

But his entire premise is: "OK, the criminal is holding a gun to our hostage's head....quick, get our snipers to kill the hostage first so the criminal won't get the satisfaction."

If you let the Sequester take place, you gut the military and break faith with our men and women in uniform. It wasn't the Dept of Defense that came up with this jack assery formula whereas 17% of the budget (Defense) takes 50% of the Sequester cuts.

The GOP singed up to that, and during the 2012 campaign told us all the cuts would be "devastating." And they will.

Now it is 2013 and the same GOP is walking around the Sunday shows telling everyone the cuts are really wonderful things, because Obama and Reid treated them bad during the Dec/Jan negotiations, and they want their mommies.

Look, if the cuts were horrible to Defense last year, they are horrible this year. The GOP should stop with it's own spin.

Our military leaders are screaming to anyone who will listen what these cuts will do.

No one is listening.

B.S. Bring on the cuts... Start by closing our foreign bases. And stop buying $800 toilet seats.

How does cutting $50B from a $700B budget “gut” the military. Enough with the lib demagoguery.
