China is Ticked says U.S. Must Break Its Addiction to Debt

Posted in Defense, Deficit, economy on Aug 6th, 2011

I hate to agree with Red China, but our largest creditor warned us about this two years ago.  They are just plain correct though some parts of their solution are self  serving.  Obviously China would love international supervision of the dollar.  That is a nonstarter.  They are just salivating over defense cuts.  Some are inevitable, but  we [...]

Obama to Slash Defense

Posted in Defense, National Security on Aug 4th, 2010

The administration is preparing a plan which will make us less prepared. Is this why they are hiding the threat assessment from China? We are already shorting our military. We need more carrier groups not fewer in order to project power in remote areas and confront a building modern navy in the east. We need [...]

Trouble for START 3?

Posted in Defense, National Security on Apr 9th, 2010

President Obama’s new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty may be running into difficulties. 42 senators sent a letter expressing concerns about language in the treaty which could limit defensive systems. Are we about to get rolled for no real gain in our security?

Why I am I Right Again? F-22 was superior

Posted in Defense on Mar 26th, 2010

The F-35 may not be cheaper after all. The F-35 now has to fill the gap left by the cancellation of the F-22 which means design changes. Surprise, the price has skyrocketed. The F-22 is the finest combat aircraft in the world. We had nations lined up to buy it. Its cancellation should be reversed. [...]

Obama Grabs More Power And A Lebanese Man

Posted in Change, Defense, Election 2008-President, Ethics, Foreign Policy, Joe Biden, Military, National Dems, National Security, Obama, US Congress on Aug 24th, 2009

The White House is appointing itself “The Interrogation Czar” in yet another move that makes me wonder if Congress is ever going to step in and do some of the stuff we elected them to do: President Barack Obama has approved creation of a new, special terrorism-era interrogation unit to be supervised by the White [...]

F-22 cut, but

Posted in Defense on Jul 31st, 2009

By a vote of 400 in favor the House passed a 636 billion dollar defense bill which included funding for a new Presidential helicopter that they can’t get right, but cut the best Air Fighter in the world. They did keep extra money for spare parts. Ironically, the administration may have killed as many jobs [...]

Save the F-22

Posted in Armed Forces, Defense, National Security on Jul 27th, 2009

Why kill 24,000 jobs immediately and risk 95,000 jobs (another Chrysler)? Japan wants these fighters and will keep the program going if we give it another two years. If we don’t see the national security value of the program, then why not take the 1.75 billion needed to save it from the stimulus package. That [...]

Why do they want to cut missle defense again?

Posted in Defense, Military, Obama on Jun 18th, 2009

This administration is proposing to slash missile defense. The timing seems to less than desirable to put this nation’s self defense in the grip of hope alone. PRK (North Korea) is said to be planning to fire a warning shot at Hawaii on Independence Day. GWB’s missile interceptors are on the way. Thank God for [...]

President Obama did the right thing

Posted in Defense, National Dems, Obama on Jun 12th, 2009

It was a case of better late than never when he agreed with the military on the release of the rest of the detainee abuse criminal trial photos. Too bad the radical fringe of his own party rather stand with the ACLU than the President and our troops. Shame on Nancy Pelosi , Henry Waxman, [...]

Cheney V. Obama — Finally America has a debate that matters

Posted in Defense, Obama on May 21st, 2009

Former Vice President Cheney is having a renaissance as I pointed out a week before CNN discovered it.  The American people care very deeply about keeping America safe.  With polls showing President Obama’s disapproval over 40%, a Congress in rebellion, and almost 2 out of 5 Americans saying that he is making us less safe, [...]

Update: A new report shows that a number of detainees who were released when back fighting including one serving as the head of Al Qaeda in Yemen.

Americans believe McCain will Win the War; Obama will Retreat

Posted in Antiwar Left, Armed Forces, Defense, Election 2008-President, Iraq, McCain, Military, Obama on May 23rd, 2008

Update:  http://www.americasupportsyou.mil/americasupportsyou/index.aspx  Please send an encouraging note this Memorial Day to our troops. Americans believe that Senator McCain will win the War in Iraq, but only 20% believe Senator Obama will win it. That is a significant underlying disadvantage to Senator Obama and a major hidden strength for Senator McCain. It could help explain why [...]
