The Washington Post<\/a> reports that the Obama Administration has an “austerity plan” to provide for our national defense. Yeah, I’d like to see their “austerity plan” for the Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n

The document will call for a greater shift toward Asia in military planning and a move away from big, expensive wars like Iraq and Afghanistan, which have dominated U.S. operations for most of the past decade, said a senior military official.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope our enemies all take this into account before they begin their respective rampages and cooperate with our new plans. How in the name of all that is holy do you “move away from big, expensive wars”? Are we just going to ignore any threats that are too big or too expensive?<\/p>\n

From Deebow over at our major league team<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Wars are not something you can fight with a coupon or try to duck out on the cheap and my bet is that we could afford a poop ton more troops and equipment if we weren’t making loans\/campaign contributions to outfits like Solyndra and putting our debt at 100.3 percent of our GDP, along with all of the other Marxist crap that the OinC has decided is good for America.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s as if that problem with training and sufficient equipment that we had at the beginning of this last war just suddenly appeared after January 20, 2001. Like I said, where’s the austerity plan for the EPA and the Commerce Department? Are they being asked to slash billions out of their operating budgets? Especially since their policies are killing jobs and DoD’s policies are only killing our enemies. Well, almost;<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Boeing announced that it will shutter a factory in Wichita that produces military airplanes for refueling, an early casualty of what is expected to be a wave of closings among defense contractors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On differences;<\/p>\n

The strategy is different from past Pentagon reviews in that it establishes clear priorities for the military, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the plan had not been publicly released.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, “clear priorities” from muddled brains. There were clear priorities before Bush, too – a military that handed out MREs to the world’s hungry. As deebow points out, there is an endless list of nations that wish us ill, some of whom already consider themselves at war with us, but I guess since they don’t fit our “clear priorities”, I’m sure they’ll cooperate and not give us any trouble. Or we can depend on the Europeans to intervene where we’re unable to summon the testicular fortitude like in Libya.<\/p>\n

Just because the Washington Post tells us this time will be different doesn’t make it so. Like I mentioned the other day, Leftists think there wasn’t a moment of human history written before the moment of their births. <\/p>\n
