Re: "Buddy, it is not a quid pro quo situation." (Don't believe that I suggested there was any quid pro quo.) Re: "The developmental programs, for such defense projects as the mid-range missile defense system have been effectively cut. The actual damage to national security is far greater than the loss of the individual system items." Some parts of missile defense see increased funding (possibly because they are perceived to be viable... to 'work')... while some others (perhaps not yet viable...) see cuts. So possibly they are trying to move to more of a 'cost/effective' approach in budgeting? More of a 'prove it can work before major deployment' approach? Considering that the proposed defense budget represents an increase in spending (net of transitory war costs) you will have to show me why you believe there is "great damage done to national security" before I can buy in to that assumption. Some details to your argument, pls. Re: "Obama will set into motion and accomplish what Hitler and Stalin could not, the irreversible crippling of America." What 'Hitler and Stalin could not'?????????? (You have GOT to be kidding! Don't forget Chingis Khan while you are at it!)
