Well, if you don't have any other reason to OPPOSE these defense budget cuts, perhaps this should help.

Juan Mccain is a fraud. Go to Scottsdale and you will see HUGE factories for General Dynamics or one of the dfense contractors. Buildings the size of mals and there are about 8 of them with gigantic parking lots.

Maybe if Juan had the guts to ask for O BC but Juan was born off the navy base in Panama.

Yup, once again McCrazy is taking the completely wrong position. He still thinks 0bama will appoint him to some cabinet post if he only begs enough.

“I also greatly appreciate that Secretary Gates continues to place the highest priority on supporting the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces.”

REALLY??? How is cutting military projects “supporting the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces”????

I heard earlier that they will be cutting the F-22 Raptor program. That is INSANE!!!!!!! It is one of our best (if not THE best) fighters we have!

Obama’s whole rhetoric about “saving and creating jobs!” Nonsense! I heard that cutting the F-22 program alone will cost over 90,000 jobs!

Our guard is coming down and then.....Oh, I don’t even want to think about it!

God, have mercy on our country!

From the NYT:

And while he promised to fix the flawed procurement processes, which allows weapons prices to soar, he said that he wants to hire tens of thousands of civil servants to do the work, since contracting that out to the private sector has not proven efficient.

...

Mr. Gates said he would cut from programs for defense against missiles, including halting the increase in the numbers of defensive missiles deployed in Alaska. Defense experts were also expecting that Boeing’s airborne laser system, which would equip a modified 747 jetliner with a laser to shoot down missiles, might be killed.

What a jerk. The more they muck around with this, changing quantities, changing schedules, upping this, cutting that -- the more the whole thing costs! Clinton bled the defense inventories dry... looks like Gates is trying to do it again. But with more "civil servants," of course.

This is why I never drink from public water fountains. You never know where this guy is or where he’ll be..... and I don’t want to risk catching whatever is making him so feeble.
