No one knows what China is doing.
These people are unaware of China’s aggression.
If you said, “Look... China and Japan are having issues...” they would say, “huh?”
He is also the same fool who said “corpse-man”.
He is also the same fool who said “corpse-man”.
The maritime environment also permits freedom of action unfettered by international boundaries and agreements.
However, the stacked Iranian threats in our AOR of ballistic missiles, long range rockets, mines, small boats, cruise missiles and submarines demand stronger naval presence and capability to protect vital sea lines of communication.
I view with concern efforts to decrease our naval presence and capability when our volatile AOR and the threats of the future are increasingly maritime.
Demands on our naval forces will only grow in the future; I anticipate that we will need more maritime missile defense, anti-fast attack craft capabilities, amphibious ships and mine-countermeasure capability, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets.
Maintaining a credible naval force covered by sufficient aviation combat power is essential for demonstrating our enduring commitment to regional partners, building trust and relationships and rapid projection of power in a crisis.
We are working to address our near-term capabilities and I am grateful for the Committees strong support.

What a childish embarrassment.
That's what my husband and I said when we heard it.
Are the libs claiming Obama won the debate because of this stupid "zinger"??
They summarize the three debates with pictures of Big Bird, a binder, and a horseback soldier that looks like Pacho Villa holding a short sword (I guess they figure its bayonet-ish enough)
ROTFL!
Thanks.
These guys are smug and arrogant, no one is as smart as they are!
“Hey, you shipbuilders. You didn’t build that. And even if you did,
we don’t need 300 of ‘em. 200 is just fine, we got these modern gadgets that go ping, called submarines. Yeah. They’re full of brave corpse-men. “
Obama thinks he’s Napoleon. Or Louis XIV. He had a goofy line tonight,
“The nation. I. We...”
um: aren’t submarines called boats, not ships?
I think that most people on this forum would have prefered that Romney be more aggressive in his approach to this final debate. If he had zinged Obama in the lawyerly manner that Obama zinged him we’d all be standing and cheering this morning. But Romney’s brain trust thinks that the undecided voters don’t go for bare knuckle brawling so he pulled his punches. Either that or they think this election is already in the bag.
By buying more horses and bayonets to fight them when they get ashore here.
I don't think Obama understands why we have ships.
“We had these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines.”
That line really pizzed me off in its childish smugness and idiocy. Obama is such a military expert he doesn’t even know how to pronounce “corpsman”. Nasty little POS.
It should have disqualified Zero in the mind of anyone that has a mind - he has no grasp of the strategic and tactical value of a modern Navy in today's world. Unlike horses and bayonets, we don't have anything that can replace our Navy. I guess it's fitting that the Left thinks it was brilliant because I thought it was Zero's most stupid comment of the night.
Obama thinks that a naval destroyer is a hoola hoop with a nail in it.
