MSM: Defense 'Cuts'

Today the President gave a press conference from the Pentagon, describing a new refocused strategy for our military, a leaner approach. This comes as the Pentagon will be forced to cut almost $450 billion over the next 10 years as Congress agreed upon last year. If we're in such dire economic straits federal and state jobs are being cut because the government needs to tighten its belt then why the hell are we still spending more on defense than we were at the end of the Bush administration?! Has everybody forgotten that in the last 10 years, since 9/11, our defense budget has more than doubled?

over the next ten years they will spent 6,5 trillion dollars if they change nothing on the 650 billion dollars yearly,

450 milliard are nothing in 10 years, obama just made this to sound much but its nothing in the whole 10 years

@007HubbaBubba Acutally it's nothing more special than your average air craft a carrier. And it cost them so much that it is impractical to ever use in battle because it could be easily destroyed by undetectible submarines. I honestly think obama has his neck so deep in the corruption that I think he believes there is no way out.
