TRAIL BLAZERS Blog | The Dallas Morning News: "Texas Sen. John Cornyn is warning that President Obama seems to be trying to prematurely cash in a 'peace dividend,' giving short shrift to Defense spending even as domestic spending grows at a torrid pace.
In a speech this morning at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, Cornyn cited ongoing threats from China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Somali pirates, al Qaeda, and noted that the Pentagon, based on its most recent threat assessment, said it needs $584 billion -- $50 billion more than the White House is asking Congress to spend. So, even though the proposed 2010 Pentagon budget is 4 percent bigger than last year's, it's still not enough, the senator argued.
'The overall strategic picture is not good. Virtually every category of security threat is growing, or could grow very rapidly without warning,' he said. 'Now is not the time to cash the peace dividend.'"
This is the SAME exact thing that Bill Clinton did to help his regime appear fiscally responsible. The result was the complete failure of intelligence that lead to 9/11/01.
We have an administration that refuses to look at the mistakes that were made and learn from history. All this one does is what is politically expedient and against whatever the last president did. This is what he considers good policy.
In 10 years this country will fall apart because of Obama. He owns this.
