Mon. March 29th... Don't Call Me Names When You Know Nothing About Me....

You know something???? Amid all this tension and turmoil of political rhetoric we face every day, all any of us can do, is to try to take in all that is now happening and decipher it the best we can. Many people (including family) insinuate lots of things when they read my column. They hint at my stupidity, racism...or that I am politically wrong or one sided...the latest being a perpetuator of routine hate mail pertaining to President Obama. Well, how little they really know about me and what I believe in. First and foremost...I claim no political affiliation. I refuse to be a part of a political platform, that (as my devout Democratic Grandmother was) votes for anything, because it's what their party believes. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!! Not with democrats, republicans or any others. I respond to and believe what ever I feel is the truth and whatever is right. I refer to my post of March 27th, where I fully acknowledge that President Obama cannot be blamed for a lot of the present shenanigans in law and government. READ IT! I also try to provide written proof of the things I allege in my writings....READ THEM TOO! (From March 17th)
If I truly believed President Obama was a person interested in the good of the United States of America, ALL it's people and protecting ALL the constitutions provisions for Americans, I would stand behind him and defend him...But I do not trust him. I don't mean the trivial distrust we all shared for Bush and other's ulterior motives to war, the economy and control of the worlds oil reserves but a real distrust for his hidden, underlying agenda, near and dear to his heart, which he has publicly and privately acknowledged in interviews, audio clips and even in writing, by his own hand in "Dreams of my Father" and the "Audacity of Hope"...his other book. This man has openly told us that he intends to stand with the Muslim world when the going gets ugly, to ensure the protection of his Muslim brothers.
Jeeze, folks...I know what I say will never make a difference if you believe a man this open and forthright, with all the many statements he has publicly made about where his loyalty remains. All I ask is that you forget the many people harping and squawking about him and for once...just once...look at the issues, investigate the data, the history, and the written evidence and give credence to the truth. If I'm wrong....fine, I'm wrong, but don't persecute me for worrying about your children and grandchildren's future as a free American, and don't tell me I perpetuate hate mail indiscriminately. I research all of the data (except those two missing years from Columbia College, which it seems no one knows anything about) and look for validity in what I read before I pass something on saying I believe it.
Anyway... If you don't agree... just say you don't agree, and stop reading my column. I simply ask you don't call me a hate monger or stupid, if you cannot shine a light any brighter than or even as bright as my own! At least I can justify and back up my belief and statements. I doubt many, if any who name call, can do that effectively!

So then.....that brings us to today and now....
My friends, retribution looms less than a year away.
The U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves a $4,700 and a $5,300 raise.

1. They voted to not give you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.

2. Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is $1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.

3. Over 2-yrs they each get $10,000

4. Do you feel SCREWED?

5. Will they have your increased cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., in mind? NO WAY. They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past.

You obviously are too stupid or don't care. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, or Barnie care about you?

SEND THE MESSAGE-- You're FIRED.

IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS: Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE. MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND REMIND THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.

It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse.

Maybe it's time for a 28th Amendment to the constitution, as follows: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States." Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves!!! It's time for retribution.

Let's take back America.

And FINALLY.....
Three Cheers for Obama!
He destroyed the Clinton Political Machine - Driving a stake thru the Heart of Hillary's Presidential aspirations -- something no Republican was ever able to do. Remember when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights out of you! He killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - No more Kennedy's trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American women and freedom are safer tonight! He is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes!
- Dennis Moore had never lost a race – He quit
- Evan Bayh had never lost a race - He quit
- Byron Dorgan - had never lost a race - He quit
- Chris Dodd - He quit while he could
- Harry Reid - bid for re-election doesn't look good
These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010 dozens more will be destroyed, so let's take all the bad Republicans along with them!

In December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats.
The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. In one year Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the house, if not the senate back to the Republicans. He has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Every generation seems to need to relearn the
lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. He is bringing home the lesson very well!

-Liberals tax, borrow and spend

-Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America

-Liberals want to take over the economy

-Liberals think they know what is best for everyone

-Liberals aren't happy till they are running YOUR life

-He has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year he rejuvenated the conservative movement and brought out to the streets millions of Freedom Loving Americans. Name me one other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America! In all honesty one year ago I was more afraid than I had ever been in my life. Not of the economy, but of the direction our country was going. I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My neighbors, friends, strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of the greatness and wisdom of the American people was flat out wrong. When the American People wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Obama woke up these Great Americans..... Again I want say Thank you Obama! So, Lets Recap "2009".........what a year! WOW!!!
1. The American people inaugurate a half-Arab president with a total of 142 days experience as a US Senator from the most politically corrupt state (city) in America whose governors have been ousted from office. The President's first official act is to order the close of Gitmo and make sure terrorists civil rights are not violated. (Honest mistake?)

2. The U.S. Congress rushes to confirm an Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists. (An honest mistake?)

3. The CIA Boss appointee, Leon Panetta, has absolutely no experience, has a daughter Linda, we find out, who is a true radical anti-American activist and a supporter of all the Anti-American regimes in the western hemisphere. (There were socio-economic factors involved!)

4. We got the second most corrupt American woman (Pelosi is #1) as Secretary of State; bought and paid for. 5. We got a Tax Cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes for 12 years. (He misspoke!)

6. A Commerce Secretary nominee who withdrew due to corruption charges. (Another honest mistake???)

7. A Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under charges. (Hmmm... Another screw-up?)

8. A Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct. (Ok, maybe this person was just plain stupid.)

9. A Secretary HHS nominee (Daschle) who withdrew under charges of cheating on his taxes. (I'm running out of excuses for these idiots!!)

10. Multiple appointments of former lobbyists after an absolute campaign statement that no lobbyists would be appointed. All this occurred just during the first three weeks. . . But who's counting?

America is being run by the modern-day Three Stooges; Barry, Nancy and Harry and they are still trying to define stimulus..."it's spending!!!" The congress passes the $800,000,000,000 (that's $800 billion) pork-loaded spending bill where the government gives you a smidgen of your tax dollars ($13 per week), making you feel so good about yourself [stimulated], that you want to run out to Wal-Mart and buy a new Chinese-made HDTV!

Here's the good news though -

-Obama took Air Force One to Denver to sign the stimulus package, wasting as much as 10,000 gallons of fuel OR 24 JOBS FOR ONE YEAR. Don't you just love hypocrites?

-Obama went to the International Olympic Committee to have them choose Chicago for a host city, he failed.

-Obama went to Copenhagen to lecture them on global warming, he failed.

-Obama went to New Jersey to promote the Democratic candidate for governor, he failed.

-Obama went to Virginia to promote the Democratic candidate for governor, he failed.

-Obama went to Massachusetts to promote the Democratic candidate for senator, he failed.

-Obama has now been president for a full year and yet he & wife (first lady) Michelle, the Christian family they claim to be, have not attended church since the inauguration. Obama is the first president in history who did not attend any Christmas religious observance, but has atteneded Muslim activities.

And finally, he is the first president to remain on vacation after a terrorist attack.

In these times I'll keep my God, my freedom, my gun and my money. Anyone that supports what Obama perpetuates can keep his "CHANGE". I still don't believe this is what America wants...
I try to speak Just the Facts...yet I'm sure those on the Left will say this is not the case!!

Sat. March 27th... Only Five Hundred Forty-Five People Do This Shit!!

545 PEOPLE

By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

-You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

-You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

-You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

-You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine SupremeCourt justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million that are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason... They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of their party.What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of the speaker,who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits... The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House?

Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members...not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it again by overturning his veto if they agree to. It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ... If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ. If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way. If they are enrolled in an elite health care insurance far superior to the plan they are planning for the people, it's because they want it that way. There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power... Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees. We should vote all of 'em out of office and clean up their mess! Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper. I posted this here for you! What you do with this article now that you have it...Is up to you. This might be funny if it weren't so darned true. Be sure to read all the way to the end:

Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor, Tax his mule, Teach him taxes Are the rule.

Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts Anyway!

Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his ties, Tax his shirt, Tax his work, Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think.

Tax his cigars, Tax his beers, If he cries Tax his tears. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid.

Put these words Upon his tomb, Taxes drove me to my doom...

When he's gone, Do not relax, Its time to apply The inheritance tax.

Just think about this for a moment 100 years ago, none of these existed!

Healthcare tax

Energy tax (Cap & Trade)

War tax (proposed)

Accounts Receivable Tax

Building Permit Tax

CDL license Tax

Cigarette Tax

Corporate Income Tax

Telephone Recurring and Non-recurring Charges Tax Telephone State and Local Tax

Telephone Usage Charge Tax

Utility Taxes

Workers Compensation Tax

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world.

Wed. March 17th...The Great Reneger... A Liar Elite...With Strong Ties To Corruption.....

To see "The Great Reneger", click the link below:

Below are excerpts from PinocchiObama's book... written in his own words and SPOKEN!

From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white..

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

This is his audio transcripts of speeches he gave at Occidental and Columbia College. These are his owns words, although no one can verify he was even in Columbia College and not in a school in a Muslim country then.

Barack Hussein Obama:
I Told You So
When Obama won the Presidency with the help of the LEFTIST Media, Hollywood And Entertainment Liberals, Ethnic Socialists (ACORN), Stupid Non-Business Professionals and Bush Haters, I wrote: It won't take six months until the People figure this guy out and realize how horrible a mistake they've made.. And when they come to that realization, the damage to the United States of America will be so great it will take a generation or more to repair - IF EVER.The IDIOTS who not only voted for the Messiah, but also worked [hard] to promote his Lordship, are now left holding the bag.Here are two things they will NEVER do: They will NEVER admit to making a Blunder out of all proportion by electing a snake-oil salesman with no Positive social history or management experience of any kind. They will NEVER take responsibility for the curse they've imposed upon the immediate and long-term future of their country.In essence, the people responsible for putting this horror show in power are themselves responsible for every cataclysmic decision he makes and the Consequences thereof.In just six months, the Messiah's polls are showing the following:
1. On Healthcare Reform - He's going under for the third time with polling well under 50 percent, even within his own Party. Even though he might be able to Muscle a Healthcare Reform Bill by using Chicago BULLY tactics against his Fellow Democrats, it will just make things worse.
2. On Cap and Trade (Cap and Tax) - The Fat-Lady is already singing.
3. On the Stimulus Package (Tax and Spend) - His popularity is in FREE-FALL.
4. On the TARP package he took and ran with from President Bush - It's all but Good-Night Irene.
5. On the closing of GITMO and "HIS" war on what he no longer wants called the War on Terrorism - He's standing in quicksand with his head just about to go under.
6. On a Comparison between himself and George W. Bush at the same six months into their respective first term Presidencies - Bush is ahead of him in the Polls.
7. On a comparison between He Who Walks On Water and the 12 preceding Presidents between WW II and now - Obama ranks 10th.
8. On a Poll just Conducted, that asks who would you vote for today between Obama and Mitt Romney - It's a dead heat. Between Obama and Palin - Obama's ONLY ahead by 8 Points and she hasn't even begun to campaign. It seems to me that Obama Wants to be everywhere where he shouldn't be.He's personally invested in 'totally insulting' America's ONLY REAL Middle Eastern ally (Israel ) in favor of Palestinian Despots and Murderers. He's traveling the world apologizing for the USA while lecturing others on how to do it right, when in fact and truth he has no experience at doing anything other than getting elected.He went to the Muslim world in Egypt to declare that America IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION while he heaped praises on Islam, where he compared the "plight" of the Palestinians to the Holocaust.The Russians think he's a putz, The French think he's rude.The Germans want him to stop spending.The Indians want him to nix his nose out of their environmental business.The North Koreans think he's a joke, The Iranians won't acknowledge his calls.And the British can't even come up with a comprehensive opinion of him.As for the Chinese, he's too frightened to even glance their way. [After All, China now owns a large portion of the United States.]Maybe if America's first Emperor would stay home more, travel less, and work a little bit instead of being on television just about everyday or stop running to "papered" Town Hall Meetings, perhaps he would have a little bit of time to do the work of the nation.In all fairness, it wasn't HARD to be RIGHT in my prediction concerning Obama's presidency, even in its first six months, so I'm going to make yet another prediction: OBAMA WILL PROBABLY NOT FINISH HIS 4-YEAR TERM, at least not in a Conventional way.He is such a political HORROR SHOW, and so detrimental to the USA and his Own Democratic Party, that the Democrats themselves will either FORCE him to Resign or figure out a way to have him thrown out.Who knows, maybe he really isn't a BORN US Citizen and that's a way the Democrats will be able to get rid of him. [He is a citizen, but not a naturalized citizen with both mother and father being US citizens.]Or - MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, the Democrats will make Obama THEIR OWN LAME DUCK PRESIDENT.I don't believe the Democrats have nearly as much love for their country as they do for their own political fortunes. And with Obama, their fortunes are rapidly becoming toast. My guess is, you don't think this "CHANGE" is what you expected either.

Now is this something to think about or stray away from? Who would know, other than the fact that you can't trust anyone these days! Somehow I think the ASMD is out for themselves too!!!

Sat. March 13th... What The Hell is The Matter With Us? We All Ask For What We Get!

We bitch and complain about everything PinocchiObama does, wishing our worst nightmare had never come true and he would have lost the election, but come on....Does anyone really think "Father Time" would have done much better? Could anyone even be sure that McCain could have even found his ass with both hands on most days...And you're going to tell me that these two candidates were the cream of the crop? I believe we deserve everything we get, sitting still for this kind of a choice. The American people should have put their foot down and said, "Hey Washington... Lets just wait a minute here buckaroo... we're not interested in an inexperienced, city boy from the hood, with a golden tongue, anymore than we are with an ancient war veteran, who keeps reverting back to his Vietnam service record as if it shows anything more than a historical service to his country...just like a million other Vietnam vets, who are not capable of doing the job either.
I believe McCain lost because of his age... and PinocchiObama won because everyone saw a minority in the Presidency as change...and his eloquent tongue promised what was needed...Change.
We definitely needed change, Change from a Senate and Congress that votes themselves raises, funded by withholding social security raises from the elderly, who have worked all their lives and earned the money that should be making so much interest by now, that every retired person who paid all their lives, should be living like kings on the return in monthly checks with the best of medical care. But instead, they get barely enough to make ends meet. Why? Government... Lousy, crooked government....A government that allows the working person, who pays their wages, to starve as they increase taxes and take more and more benefits away from them.

Now we have a president that sympathizes with our enemy, is embarrassed of the country he represents and wants everything to be compatible and acceptable with a Muslim state that wants to kill every American because they are not Muslim. He wants to disarm America and American people to protect the innocent. How? The innocent will all be sitting ducks then! He wants to spread the wealth. How? The wealth comes from the working man and if you share it with lazy people who do not work, don't expect the ones working to continue working to sustain something so stupid! Obama has led the American people in the wrong direction like a Pied Piper! He has really done nothing for us in his first year, so let's keep it that way when talking about our health care system too! Let him also do nothing there!!!!!!
Let's continue looking for the change that every misguided American was looking for when they stupidly and blindly voted for Obama. He is but a small mistake......NOT the entire problem. Many people have bought a shiny new "thing" that sounded good with the right salesman selling it...and found that it didn't do what was promised by the salesman. You just have to move on and become smarter with salesmen.
The problem is that the American people are so fed up with government control, they want change and they want it now. Unfortunately, Americans are too lazy and uninformed to clean house and start over. Why? Because the average American doesn't realize that there are no GOOD politicians. There are no honest politicians...If they profess to be honest...they are liars. The only honest politician is a dead one, because as soon as you buck the establishment in America, You're dead...Annihilated...zeroed in on and done away with in one of many ways. The "Royal Fraternity Of Screwing Politicians" here in America, will never allow anyone to again rule America fairly benefiting the majority.
Perhaps, if the American public removes all the current filthy, thieving, politicians in office and start from scratch, with all new people who are truly interested in governing our country as it was before, when our country started out, we could enact change. Don't think that the colonial patriots didn't have their problems with greed and pressure from the rich interest groups back then too, but patriot colonists immediately took action when they caught one of the statesmen doing something they shouldn't.
Remember, the problem is not the candidates; it's the complacency of the American people who won't take care of themselves by standing up for their own rights. It is not Obama...it is the American citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. I will guarantee that it will be much easier to undo what Obama has done, than it will be to undo what American people have done to America. It will be much harder to rebuild good judgment and common sense in these Americans which hate the idiot they choose to lead them. Let's not forget this large segment of the American public, which were idiotic enough to choose an idiot to lead them.
So as I view all of this, I believe we can survive Obama and what he has done to America...We can change his policies and undo the political damage of his golden tongue......but can we survive the multitude of idiots in America, who placed their trust in this idiot... giving him the highest position as the leader of our country in the first place?
I only pray to God we can!

Tues. March 2nd... We'd Better Get Off our Asses and Develop or Perish...

Ever hear of the ol' "surround and drown" method of dealing with a gang of town bullies? It's so simple...it's ingenious! Just let the gang of bullies work over a small group of your friends, while a crowd gathers to watch the action and goad the bullies on. Soon the watching crowd is conceivably, much larger than the bullying gang and the watchers then wade in and annihilate the bullies easily.
Now, with that in Mind, remember our military strength in the Viet Nam era?
Speaking more recently, remember when the United States, using its armada of aircraft carriers, cruise missile-launching submarines, fast cargo ships, long-range bombers, airlifters, and air refueling fighters, could eject the Iraqis from Kuwait (1991), bomb Serbia (1999), kick over the Taliban regime in Afghanistan (2001), and knock off Saddam and his cronies (2003). The USA accomplished this with ease, while everybody else had to meekly follow along (or sit on the sidelines).
Well guess what? That may not ever happen again!!!!! There are places that we may never be able to go again...unlike the previous ability we enjoyed, enabling us to enter any areas of the world at will... and may soon vanish and we will not be able to do that any longer. Right now there is a mounting strategy by Iran and China, called "area denial/anti access".
The most worrisome of the "area denial/anti-access" strategies being deployed against the United States (and others) is by China, which groups its defenses under the term "shashoujian", or "assassin's mace." The term refers to an ancient weapon, easily concealed by Chinese warriors and used to cripple a more powerful attacker. In its modern incarnation, shashoujian is a powerful combination of traditional but sophisticated air defenses, ballistic and anti-ship missiles, and similar weapons to put at risk nearby U.S. forces and regional bases, together with anti-satellite and cyberwar weapons to disable U.S. reconnaissance and command-and-control networks, thus allowing them to strike us, as we attempt to use our failing systems, as their computer programs disable our communications and our guidance systems. Iran's area-denial arsenal includes coastal and inland missile batteries, ballistic missiles to threaten U.S. bases and Arabian oil facilities, mines and shallow-draft missile boats that can quickly swarm around heavy, slow-moving U.S. warships. Iran's ability to threaten any would-be invaders, or simply to shut off access to the Gulf, would be enhanced if it acquires a nuclear weapons capability, which some analysts believe could happen within President Obama's current term in office.
Dennis Blair, the top U.S. intelligence official, described these developments in detail in a report to Congress last month, adding that taken together, they "improve China's ability to execute an anti-access and area-denial strategy in the western Pacific."
Our military hardware under every presidential administration has diminished, and it doesn't look like it's gonna get any better under Obama either. Air Force inventory of fighter-attack planes and bombers has sagged 20 percent during the past 15 years from 2,073 to 1,649.
During the Vietnam War the Navy boasted 932 warships. By 1985 the Navy could barely maintain 571 ships (despite the Reagan administration's rallying cry of a "600-ship Navy!"). Today's Navy has dwindled to 283 expensive warships.
What's gonna save America's butt? A little notion they are calling "Air-Sea Battle concept"...The problem is....that it is not invented yet!

There are several thoughts about what it should be like and I agree with one aspect of it. It should strike deeply into the country we are at war with, hitting them from the air and or sea with a devastating initial attack. With this initial attack concentrating on destroying the same communications and computer systems guidance capabilities and crippling them before they come out to fight. The similarities are much like our attack during "Desert Storm", destroying as much as we can during the initial blow.
The Air Force and Navy, two services not known for cozy relations, signed an agreement to share work on this concept. To begin with, they performed a brilliant plan to start by creating a listening tour, to hear the views of senior U.S. commanders on what Air-Sea Battle should look like. Once the information is gathered, they can then proceed to create a system encompassing every one's ideas.
Iran's extremist Revolutionary Guards are slowly taking over control of the government, according to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, suggesting that Iran's keep-out defenses will continue to be hardened. And China's work on cyberwar continues.
