Only if it were a Republican of course.

Now, despite his cuts on F22, FCS, missile defense, unilateral self imposed restrictions of nuclear development, bilateral reduction in nuclear arms, the withdraw of forces from Iraq, the cut of the Zumwald boat, going after CIA interrogators, closing GITMO, treating foreign born terrorists operating overseas like US citizens and criminals.............. What will happen is that small BS token things like this will be used to show Obama is “tough” on defense, while in reality he has done nothing, and this don't cost him anything either. Think about it. What does this cost him? So while he cuts-cuts-cuts on defense he throws some BS like this out to show action in an area where he's perceived as being weak, national security.

Guaranteed, pretty soon you'll see more BS with his sticker all over being rolled out and touted in the media as some great investment in our national security, while in reality it does little and everything is a show to regain lost political ground in the area of national security. Where it matters though, he's cutting. Iraq alone and his ignoring and retreat on this issue overshadows in significance anything he could possibly do regards national security. The importance of Iraq, may that be the trust and confidence our allies in that region have, the potential expanse of power Iran would enjoy if it fails, the likelihood of Iraq itself become a pariah again and possible training grounds for bad actors, the loss of our strategic interests both in the location and oil overshadow ANYTHING this used car salesman can throw out as a sales gimmick for why he's tough on national security. What he will do, like a used car sales man, is blast the radio real loud so the young kid test driving the old clunker can't hear the ratles and hopefully doesn't see the smoke. In this case, the MSM is the radio, and Iraq is the smoke in the rear view mirror the kid hopefully doesn't see. What he does amounts to a sales pitch that focuses on "him," nothing more and it's a diversion that essentially costs him lttle. Where it matters, in dollars and cents, he's cutting-cutting-cutting and reatreat-retreat-retreat when it comes to national security.
