The Pentagon should be pushing “bold new moves” to protect the country’s interests instead of its perilous new plan to reduce troops dramatically and slash spending, a Heritage Foundation expert says.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced the new strategy today, calling for greater U.S. military presence in Asia, pulling troops from Europe, and cutting spending by nearly half a trillion dollars.
The Heritage Foundation’s James Jay Carafano writes that the new strategy amounts to pulling “the safety net out from a global security architecture that has protected U.S. vital interests worldwide since 1945.”
“The Obama Administration’s strategy by wishful thinking will not be sufficient to keep the nation safe, free, and prosperous in the year ahead."
“Shedding the most qualified, combat-experienced, volunteer ground forces in the nation’s history would be like Apple canceling the production of iPhones to save money. It makes no sense,” he wrote.

I can't believe there are some that still support Obama.
His agenda is working Obama's plan for America. Kill the economy, take away as many jobs as possible to make the people dependent on government. Cut defense spending.
Confiscate all guns except military and police. Then they will succeed in taking over America without ever firing a shot.
And his sheep keep following him to the slaughter.

Of course they do. He is a great man. He did win the Nobel peace prize. What other candidate can claim that?
