All I got to say is thats a lot of money for a year thats not even here yet. What happens to the money if the Pentagon don’t need it bi 2010? will go back in the tills or do they keep it. This request is so like this administration, thats why we are in the situation we are in now, spend, spend, spend with no oversight anywhere. I say wait until 2010 and see what we need for defense spending. I’am sure the next President will give the Pentagon what ever it needs. Besides, most of those guys will be gone anyway.

Oh and will NOT vote for an angry 73 year old man and an idiot! (I do appreciate his service and sacrifice though) Keep him in the Senate where both he and Leiberman do a great job.

You all need to watch something other than Fox News and maybe do some research. “Say it aint so don’t cha know” UUghh .. Scares the crap out of me. One 73 year old heartbeat from the office. Yikes!
Obama’s not Carter. The guy actually has an education and a clue. McCain thinks we need to either fight or cross our arms and pout until everyone wants to play ball with us. At this stage in the game, I think we need some good old fashioned diplomacy. Before you say it — No he doesn’t want to write a check out to all these countries.
Anyway — back on point… Whoever gets in office needs to acknowledge the fact that our military needs to replace a lot of out of date/end of service life equipment and maintain our technological edge.

After the WallStreet Bail-out Bush initiated and Obama and McCain supported even with the additional billions as Pork, Where do we get the extra cash to sustain anymore spending. Our TAXES are going to Skyrocket already and Bushes pledge not to increase taxes is all but out the window.

America is being Socialized and becoming No Longer a Democracy. H-ll, even third party debates have been blocked so the public only hears the Stupid NEWS.

ahh heck. two things the republicans can do to straighten out this mess. 1.) build a hangmans scaffold on the White house lawn for all the wall street speculators that got us in this mess and 2.) have ‘Cindy MacCain’ to write a check to pay off wall street. I’d vote for them then.

Da Man seems to have forgotten the obligatory disclaimer in his drivel!
“This has been a paid political endorsement of the Taliban and Al Kaida and Obama endorses this message.”

Our spending in today’s dollars don’t even come close to matching the Cold War peak. That’s Obama rhetoric right there.

We need to modernize our force and that’s not going to be done on the cheap. This goes right back to the argument about what things our Government is allowed to do under our Constitution and provide for defense is one of them.

I say we cut off all welfare benefits, services and healthcare to illegals. That will save billions and there is ZERO provision for that by law.

We don’t need to expand our funding… especially when the world’s economies are at a down turn… We need Barack Obama exactly for this reason. Our defense spending is rivaling much of the years during the cold war era. Now can anyone say “military-industrial complex”? The U.S. doesn’t need 10 aircraft carriers with 3 more on the way. The only other country that has a conventional aircraft carrier is France. So lets get real on this spending… I’m tired of the military spending 640 dollars for a toilet seat.

I’m sure they’ll get a penny, but certainly not what’s needed.

If Obama becomes President he will probably appoint Jane Fonda as Secretary of Defense.

If obama becomes president we will not get a penny because he can not stand our military. We all need to vote for McCain because he will make sure we get what we need.

God forbid we spend more money on something that the feds actually have Constitutional authority for and not wool research, wooden arrows and rum subsidies.

Anyway, no way this happens under President Obama…and I’m not for him but it seems him winning is inevitable at this point.
