Pentagon Official: The Facts Are In, And Obama?s Policy Is A Direct Danger To The United States

A bipartisan independent commission has so ruled and delivered its report to Congress.

The draw down and reduction in spending on the military and the intended reduction in new weapon acquisition is a direct threat to the security of the US. According to the panel based not only on external threats but the STATED policies of the President.

" bipartisan independent commission has so ruled and delivered its report to Congress."

The NDP is comprised of 10 members appointed by the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. Dr. Perry and General Abizaid were appointed to co-chair the 2014 Panel by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. The report examined how the QDR presented U.S. interests and objectives; the strategic and operational environment; U.S. strategy, budget and reforms; and the readiness, capabilities and force structure of the armed services.

The other National Defense Panel members are:

General James Cartwright (Ret.)
Ambassador Eric Edelman
Former Undersecretary of Defense Michele Flournoy
Lieutenant General Frank Kearney (Ret.)
Lieutenant General Michael Maples (Ret.)
Former Congressman Jim Marshall
General Gregory Martin (Ret.)
Former Senator James Talent ( He is a Republican and resided in the St. Louis area while serving in elected office. He identifies with the conservative wing of the Republican party, being particularly outspoken on judicial appointments, abortion, flag burning, and defense issues.)

GOP'S BUDGET CANARD


But the much more important fact Republicans have left out is that the Senate passed a budget on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis last summer -- one that unlike an annual "budget resolution" has the force of law behind it. The Budget Control Act -- the law that resolved the debt limit fight -- set binding appropriations caps for this fiscal year and the next and instituted a mechanism to contain spending on domestic discretionary programs -- education, research, community health programs and the like -- through the next decade.

Russia and China are modernizing their militaries while Obama guts our military to pay for welfare, obamacare, green energy scams and illegals.

Army Cutting 500 Majors Starting Next Week


Gen. John Campbell

About 500 Army majors, some of them now serving in Afghanistan, will begin receiving notices next week that they must leave the service as the Army cuts troop strength to meet budget cuts, the outgoing Army vice chief of staff said Friday.

"We don't want to do this," but the Army has no choice under the constraints of the Budget Control Act and the Congressional sequester process, said Gen. John F. Campbell.

Many of the 1,100 captains who were cut earlier this month were serving in Afghanistan and "the same thing probably will happen with some of these majors," said Campbell, who has been confirmed by the Senate to take command of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.

Reductions in force are always difficult, Campbell said, but informing "the ones that are deployed is certainly the hardest."

Earlier this month, the Army said that at least 48 of the 1,100 captains handed "pink slips" had been serving in Afghanistan.

Campbell spoke at an off-camera briefing with reporters that was his last as vice chief at the Pentagon. He was taking a brief leave before reporting to Afghanistan later this month to replace Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford as ISAF commander.

Immediately following Campbell's briefing, the Army put out a release stating that majors receiving notices who are now serving in Afghanistan or other areas overseas "will be returned to the United States within 30 days of their notification to begin their transition from active duty and ensure they have the maximum time and resources available for a successful transition."

The cutbacks were part of the Army's plan "to draw down its end-strength to 490,000 active-component soldiers by the end of Fiscal Year 2015," the statement said.

The so-called "hit list" for the 500 majors was determined by decisions of recent Officer Separation Boards and Enhanced Selective Retirement Boards, the Army said.

The Army suggested that more cuts were coming: "As a result of future budget restrictions previously passed by Congress, the active Army will further reduce its end-strength by 20,000 Soldiers in both 2016 and 2017" to an Army force of about 450,000, the Army statement said.
Campbell said there were opportunities for majors transitioning out of the active-duty service to take positions in the Reserves and the National Guard.

The Army also pointed to the new "Shifting Gears" partnership of the Army, Raytheon and General Motors to allow transitioning troops to receive training and possibly be placed in service technician jobs at GM dealerships.

Interesting.................Obama and his policies have brought several million jobs to the U.S.

Also, his policies have managed to drive the Stock Market to record highs.

Wanna talk about the 4 percent GDP growth over the past quarter?

Go ahead.................hate Obama, but understand that he's done a lot for this country, as well as has done a lot for the people in the form of the ACA.

The only ones who hate it are those who think that a black man doesn't deserve to live in the White House, and those are the bigoted assholes who want to stop him because they simply don't like the color of his skin.

The economy has added more than 200,000 jobs for five months in a row now (6 MONTHS NOW), the longest such streak since 1999. In the first half of this year alone the economy has added 1.4 million jobs, another accomplishment not seen since 1999.

Russia to hold war games in show of strength near Ukraine

(Reuters) - Russia announced military exercises near the border with Ukraine on Monday in a show of strength as the Ukrainian army recaptured more territory from pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country.

The Russian air force said more than 100 aircraft, including fighter jets and bombers, were taking part in the manoeuvres this week in the central and western military districts.

The move could alarm Western powers which have accused Russia of beefing up its troops along its border with Ukraine and arming the rebels in eastern Ukraine, although Moscow denies the accusation

It was Obuma's sequester!

WASHINGTON -- As members of President Barack Obama's economic team surveyed the fiscal landscape following the 2012 election, they were haunted by spending cuts set to take effect at the end of the year.
Sequestration was the rare public policy passed for purposes of being avoided. The cuts were designed to be so onerous (a 7.3 percent reduction in discretionary defense spending, a 5.1 percent reduction in non-defense spending, and a 2 percent reduction in Medicare) that lawmakers would hustle to replace them.
But the presidential aides didn't hustle. Instead, they stalled in finding a replacement policy. And as the days drew closer to the sequestration deadline, the angst level rose inside the West Wing. One senior administration official, who helped in planning for the automatic cuts, said that the impact was far more severe than most appreciated. The possibility of a short-term economic recession was discussed, said the official, who spoke on the condition of not being quoted.
"Any economic uncertainty that comes from the mere possibility of the sequester is bad," said a different senior administration official. "Going through it is much worse."
Those concerns animated the White House role in end-of-the-year negotiations with Congress that averted across-the-board tax hikes and delayed, for two months, the mandatory spending cuts....

Obama Sequester Plan: Hope Republicans Blink First

The reason that Obama suggested sequester (one that seems to elude Republicans) is that there comes a time when the game of "no, it isn't," "yes, it is" has to to come to an end. The sequester provided the incentive to end it. Unfortunately, the Republicans are quite prepared to play the game ad infinitum and ad nauseum, until they get their way.

A little information, the sequestration was a part of the Budget Control Act of 2011 "The House passed the Budget Control Act on August 1, 2011 by a vote of 269–161. 174 Republicans and 95 Democrats voted for it, while 66 Republicans and 95 Democrats voted against it."
