Anyone following Hillary closely would realize immediately why she made this statement. She is in the pocket of Ionatron, a company who has hired a relative of Bill's buddy John Podesta to push a fantasy weapons system to the pentagon. The Pentagon says this 'joint improvised explosive defeat fund' is merely largess for Clintonites and their friends........read this is you do not believe me.........Ionatron, Inc. and its subsidiaries engage in the development and marketing of Directed Energy Weapon technology products and other products based on its Laser Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC) for the agencies of the U.S. Government focused on national security. The LIPC technology is designed as a line of sight weapon, which enables the propagation of various forms and quantities of electrical energy to be aimed and directed at a target or between two points. It also provides a counter-Improved Explosive Device (IED) vehicle, known as Joint IED Neutralizer.........now read this........http://www.nypost.com/business/60897.htm......This has helped the company land a contract to build 12 of its devices for testing by the Pentagon. Yet although a Marine Corps unit in Afghanistan is said by Pentagon officials to have begun some testing on its own, formal testing for actual deployment in combat has not yet begun.

One reason: No one has yet developed tactics for how these Jeep-sized devices, operated by remote control, might be used to patrol the thousands of miles of roadways traveled by U.S. military vehicles every day. In recent Senate testimony, Secretary of the Army Francis Harvey said formal field testing would not begin until these issues are ironed out.

Faced with such objections, Ionatron's supporters have begun spinning the Pentagon's apparent wariness into a tale of petty inter-service rivalries between the Army and the Marine Corps, suggesting that the lives of U.S. troops are being lost in the process.

To that end, two high-profile Senate Democrats have lately picked up the message, adding their own voices to those of House and Senate Republicans in calls for quick deployment of the Ionatron devices before even more lives are lost.

What role, if any, the lobbyists at Blank & Rome may have played in getting the Ionatron story on the radar screens of the two Senate Democrats isn't known, but a role of some sort may easily enough be surmised, considering who the two senators in fact are: New York's own Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barbara Boxer of California.

Both senators have longstanding ties to a Blank & Rome lobbyist named Heather Podesta, who has hooks of her own into the federal Democratic power loop.

PODESTA is the wife of a Democratic Party operative named An thony Podesta, who managed Sen. John Kerry's failed presidential run in 2004. And Anthony Podesta's brother, John Podesta, was White House chief of staff for ex-President Clinton....Is it any wonder why we are losing confidence in our gov't when our national security and that of our brave soldiers is sacrificed for the green and political aspirations of people like Hillary Clinton. h

I believe the money is being taken from unused Iraqi reconstruction funds, not any military budgets. The reconstruction funds have been sitting largely unused because the Iraqis have generated enough oil revenue to pay for their own rebuilding, particularly within the environment of high per barrel costs. So once again, Hillary is lying claiming this is coming out of military budgets for the US mission in Iraq.

Senate Shifts Iraq Funds to Border Patrols

Another diversion to get their amnesty through. What I want to know is where is everyone like Tancredo from the House on this coming scam, they've been quiet as a mouse lately. I wonder if they've been told to keep it that way for some reason...
