Obama’s Orwellian Logic: Strength Through Weakness
Anyone actually believe him?
It’s all hogwash....pap for the looney left.
Socialists like Obama and his like minded Congresscritters view any, and all, military spending as a serious affront and detriment to their social spending programs.
In the recent spending cut negotiations you’ll note that while the military budget is ~1/3 of the total spending it recieved 1/2 of the “cuts” in total spending.
2012 can’t come too soon. I’ll bet that those officers pictured, if given half a chance, would have given the “Pueblo Salute” to Obama, just as the captured Pueblo crewman did to the North Koreans when forced into attending propaganda media events.
In the 1990’s President Clinton took credit for reducing federal employment numbers. Unsaid was that a majority of those payroll cuts were from military paychecks. We payed the price on 9/11 2001.
Obama is a fool, but I’m sure his libreral base and libertarians like Ron Paul are happy.
Problem is that while military spending will decrease total spending will rise.

Yeah, that's a winning strategy for sure...
This is a snap shot in time, so I think you're reading too much into it.
Also, in the first picture on the top, everyone is smiling, except, maybe the guy in the back on our right (and he doesn't appear all that unhappy). The other two guys, in the back, appear to be military personnel (both smiling). From what little I can see of their suit jacket.
And in the second picture, everyone is not smiling, politicians and military.
This is how perspectives get tarnished. By reading to much into something that is very trivial. And in this case, a snap shot in time measured in milli-seconds.
this just broke, I won’t ping you again, just thought you might be interested.
Thank you. That is quite interesting. And yes I am interested.
I really do not know what we can do about Islam. The best idea I can come up with is get out of the middle east and wait until Islam pisses off Europe, Russia and India. Then mash them like they have never been mashed before, a Roman solution. Just do not see how a battle of civilizations can be avoided. Just wish Europe and Russia could see the writing on the wall. It is a clear as day, IMHO.
“The US military will become “leaner” while maintaining superiority as it switches focus to the Asia-Pacific, US President Barack Obama has announced.”......
ASIA???
Does this mean we’re all going to Hawaii?
About time we go somewhere nice instead of another backwards third world poo-hole....

Yes.
We’re going to prepare a welcoming committee for the Chinese when they eventually declare war.
More gommicks,less troops. Not the best situation.
