"Our military is simply too small to do everything that is being asked of it."
At least one senator realizes it's a dangerous world and that we don't live in "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" or on "Sesame Street". It's a real world where "Hope and Change" and "Touchy-Feely" doesn't cut the mustard.
Lieberman: 'No More Defense Cuts'
Friday, 26 Oct 2012 09:02 AM
By Greg McDonald
Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman says he won't accept any further cuts in the U.S. defense budget and is warning that the nation's military force is "too small" now to meet all the demands placed on it. . . .
Lieberman, who also serves on the Armed Services Committee, said the $487 billion Pentagon spending decrease imposed last year by the bipartisan Budget Control Act is already "delaying critical modernization programs and forcing our military to slash manpower and force structure."
Any additional cuts, he said, would pose a threat to national security.
"Contrary to claims that the 'tide of war is receding,' our national security threats are becoming more complex and no less demanding or urgent," Lieberman wrote.
"We have made significant progress in recent years against [al-Qaida's] leadership in Pakistan. But the group's Islamist extremist affiliates and allies have made inroads elsewhere—including Yemen, Syria and Mali, where al Qaeda's North African branch has established a haven in a vast swath of territory," Lieberman continued.
"In the Persian Gulf, Iran's pursuit of asymmetric capabilities (including missiles, mines and submarines) is compelling us to expand our naval and air presences there, not draw them down. Then there is the Asia-Pacific region, where China's double-digit growth in military spending and assertive behavior against neighbors (including U.S. treaty allies) is unsettling the regional balance of power."

The two biggest problems with our military is the leadership at the top and lack of support from stupid representatives.
These men and women will go the ends of the earth for this country and their fellow soldiers but if the CIC can't even pick up a phone and give an order what do they do. If the order had been given hundreds of soldiers, sailors, and airmen would have volunteered to moved heaven and earth to get to Benghazi from all over the Med.

You're 100% Looney Tunes, Barleybrains. I'd spot you the entire 101st Airborne and you'd flop because of the time factor to get them in place before the ambassador was killed! You know-nothings are just whiners looking for another stupidly ignorant way to bash Obama.

I think Joe has confused the military with his little dick.

Stevie, you are too stupid to breed or breath. One company of Marines would have put a stop to this, saved lives, and held the consulate. Do you know what a MEU or MARG is? Of course you don't or you won't be so stupid.
Why not post here??? I have been looking and I can't find one, single photo of Obama on a navy ship. One time Michelle launched a ship but I don't think our feckless leader has ever been on a ship.

Sure, let's keep spending money we don't have. It's OK to top our debt at $20T as long as it's for a good cause, right?

I think a better question is "Mikey, is your worship of Obama so blind that you refuse to see the truth?"
Yeah. You're not an Obama liberal! LOL!

No hate here, just facts or intelligent opinion. You ALWAYS support Obama, ergo, you are an Obamaton. If you paid attention, you'd know that I have praised President Obama on several occasions. You, however, solely support Obama, and reject anything and everything that reflects badly on him.
You are an Obama worshiper.
