Only four years after Barry McCaffrey pronounced that the “wheels would come offâ€

Finally, this is at least some good news. We should not be in the middle east for Israel or any foreign country. The 'war' was based on a false premise, and false information, and should result in prosecutions hopefully.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. We go through this cycle each time a liberal moves into the White House. When money is needed, the first place the Democrats look is the military. I can still remember, like it was yesterday, the deep military cuts we experienced during the Clinton years.

You think making cuts to our military is good news?????????

Obviously you're not in the National Guard or part of our military reserve forces who are being overly burdened because of a depleted active duty force. Furthermore, Obama is also cutting funds to military technologies. Technology is what keeps us one step ahead of our enemies and more importantly, technology saves American lives.

There is no need to send National Guard overseas, that is for a national emergency only. They are NATIONAL GUARD.

The people who supported bush on his ill gotten misfortune in Iraq STILL DON'T GET IT.

If you support troops in Iraq or the middle east, you may as well support open borders. This is the CONSERVATIVE position. Pat Buchanan was not a supporter of the war. Most view it now as destructive to the military. There is no GOAL, there is no PLAN. etc...

As to $ to the MIC, that won't stop, just slow down.

You have to remember, the 'president' can only do so much, its the people behind them that pull the strings.

Iraq is a huge hugh huge disaster.

You're wrong. Supporting open borders is not a conservative position.

For the record, I support our troops regardless of where our government sends them! Supporting our men and women in the military is an AMERICAN position.

Someone has been listening to too much MSNBC and CNN. There always was a plan and goal, it's a little naive to think otherwise. The plan is to aid in the instituting, structuring, and stabalization of a national government. This includes the organization and training of a military force capable of protecting said government. While the final goal has yet to be completed, the plan is in place.

Here's my point, if he is cutting funding for recruiting, then why is he recruiting temporary visas holders? Obama is just reducing recruiting for Americans and Immigrants.

So, how stupid is this?
