This will be a key issue to watch in Congress and a good one to split the dems on.

Why not just get rid of the entire military. The Dems will bribe our enemies into loving America. The Pentagon budget can instead pay for slavery reparations and governmet-provided sex change operations for homeless transexual minorities.

Missle Defense is a DONE DEAL.

The dem caucus is not stupid enuff to stand in it's way. The consensus in America is too well developed and the only remaining opposition is on the lunatic fringe.

Now, that said, I could see the dems cutting the F22/F35/DDX and Seawolf programs to pay for it...

You mean the Virginia class submarines, right? Construction on the Seawolf class has already ended.

The voters of America have spoken and given control of the congress to the democrats. Therefore the democrats should pull out all the stops and gut this program. After all, it's what the people voted for.

Levin doesn't want to do that. He just wants to reduce the military to the levels he sees in Europe. At bottom, he thinks that the Cold War was our fault, that the military is an instrument of American capitalism.

'Missle Defense is a DONE DEAL.'

I hope you're right. Almost anyone I talk to, left or right, does not really understand what it is, where it is in development, and why we need it. Many seem to believe that the U.S. has capabilities which we do not, as Reagan's plan was thwarted in so many ways until we finally got the Agency established only a few years ago.

It seems to me the public would be behind all Missile Defense goals IF THEY UNDERSTOOD what it was really about, instead of MSM reframing...?

Sounds like something Levin would support. It's almost bend over time folks.

How many DEAD people is it going to cost us this time. Hasen't the congress have enough BLOOD on it's hands now. The next attact should happen on congress with no one there to proect them, then let's see how fast missle defense, a decent military buildup would occur!

I beg to differ. It is not a "done Deal" while we have developed the tech and have tested the sea based systems the funding for those systems still needs to be allotted. If not do you really think the Contractors like Lockheed and Boeing are going to foot the bill? Guess again. No Money No Product. That however may not preclude sales of those systems to foreign Allies like Japan,SO Korea, Australia and others... all it will do is cripple the US for another 20 years.... so why should the politicians worry?

Levin ain't gonna do sh*t. He doesn't have the votes. The GOP needs camera-hungry, nattering nabobs like Carl to retake Congress in '08. Let Levin, Pelosi, Rangel, Dingel, Reid, Franks, Kennedy and Kerry huff and puff. Until they can override a veto that's all they'll do.

Exactly! I agree .. if you're just going to try to appease our enemies anyway .. then why bother having a military at all.

On FOX money shows this morning .. there is coming a complaint from Wall Street. They see the appeasement of Islam as the very same appeasement given to Hitler - and Wall Street is not happy about it.
