Another part of the Obama plan to “transform” America is now laid out for all to see.  With the announced “reduction in force” for our Armed Forces, we will be able to be everywhere and fight nowhere.  For sure, we will be able to act quickly, but never decisively.  We will have no resources to deal with anything unexpected.  Consequently, we will need to expect everything and anything.

“Leaner and meaner” says the Obama Regime, led by DOD Pacifist Panetta and parroting our “highly decorated” Community-Organizer-in-Chief.  Apparently, this pronouncement  is designed to make us feel secure in an insecure world.  It is also designed to cut national expense to pay for the humongous deficits Obama has rung up to buy allegiance and enrich coffers of his cronies.

This “plan” shrinks our Army and Marine Corps down to pre- 9/11 levels while slowing or halting new weapons programs, including replacement ships and planes for the Navy and Airforce.  This includes the next generation F-35 fighter (which was supposed to be ruling the skies by 2020 but will now be relegated to a cameo appearance).  Allegedly, this will leave enough conventional forces to fight one good long war if need be.  We likely will not be able to win it but that word WIN seems to have gone out of style these past few years…a distracion, you know.

Not to worry?  Specifics show an even more pacific posture.  The Army will shrink by 80,000 soldiers.  This will also mean elimination of at least eight Army Brigades The Marines will lose around 20,000.  (“JOBS, I tell you, JOBs is my first priority.”)  Obviously that is not “The Wons” first prority, nor is national defense.  The Air Force will be “retiring” two-dozen C5-A cargo aircraft and and 65 C-130s.  The Pentagon will also be closing six Air Force tactical air fighter squadrons and at least one training squadron.  (This will raise the SEIU to orgasmic heights.)  The Navy will not be spared.  No new Virginia-class submarines, of course.  Lets also ditch seven cruisers.  Why not throw in two amphibious ships for good measure?  Although Obama still wants to further reduce America’s nuclear might, he will postpone further reductions to another day.

“This is the force for the future,” Panetta proudly announced.  He sees “some” risk but nothing we can’t handle.  Panetta cannot see to the end of his considerable nose.  Hear the phrase, “A tiger does not change his spots”?  Panetta has not changed his over the decades of his (dis)”service” to America.  Lest we forget or never knew, be enlightened  as to who our new DOD Chief really is.

The “Institute of Policy Studies” is funded by that champion of American Exceptionalism, George Soros.  Panetta has long been involved with this left-wing organization.  When in Congress in the 1980s, Panetta requested the IPS produce an “alternative” budget that dramatically cut defense spending.  Panetta voted AGAINST reaffirmation of the Mutual Defense treaty with Taiwan and in support of continuing foreign aid to the Communist Sandanista government of Nicaragua.  He voted also to cede control of the Panama Canal.  Panetta also slammed what he called President Reagan’s “illegal and extraordinarily vicious” wars against rhw poor of Nicaragua, Guatemala, and El Salvado

Want a bit more?  Can you handle it?  There is even more that you will want to research yourself to determine who, in addition to Obama, is involved in the weakening and destruction of the United States.

Panetta was very much a vocal opponent of Chile’s anti-communist government.  On 19 July 1983 the future DOD Boss, on the floor of the House, condemned what he called the “US sponsored covert actions against Nicaragua,” stating that it was among the most dangerous aspects or the Reagan administration policy in Central America.” 

Writing in the “New American” several weeks ago, Chrisian Gomez notes, “Careful observation of former Rep Panetta’s record in the House reveals a history of votes perceivable as in contrast with US national security objectives which, if confirmed as Secretary of Defense may compromise US national defense objectives.”

Ya think?  But now here he is, joining with the Obama Clique in another capacity, this time perhaps even more dangerous to America than he was with the CIA.

Barry Goldwater said years ago, “If I err on national defense, may it be on the side of  too much instead of not enough.”
