Two defense officials who were not authorized to speak publicly said Gates will announce up to a half-dozen major weapons cancellations later this month. Candidates include a new Navy destroyer, the Air Force's F-22 fighter jet, and Army ground-combat vehicles, the offi cials said.
More cuts are planned for later this year after a review that could lead to reductions in programs such as aircraft carriers and nuclear arms, the officials said.

Bring us to our knees by weakening our military. Our enemies are rejoicing.

The F-22 will actually save money if it is cut. It is a massive mis-allocation of tax monies.
Why won’t he cut the Osprey completely as well?

Why does the military need money? Are we at war or something?

And convince everyone to not enlist by refusing to treat war wounds once the member returns to CONUS!
A weak military and a weak US are NOT accidents or outgrowths of the “liberal” "pay for a welfare state for everyone" Obama program.
Obama wants the end of the US. How many more clues do we need?

PS: Canceling programs which, in addition to providing for the national defense, actually provide REAL high paying jobs for American workers, instead of government make-work jobs that produce NOTHING of value.

IMHO SECDEF Gates won’t be there for long. Clark is going to take over in 2010, as promised by Obama.

Do they not remember 9-11? The world is not a peaceful place without the power of US military. We’ll loose NYC for sure.
