We have launched at least 100 cruise missiles towards Libya, they cost $575,000 ea. So in a couple days we have spent $57,500,000, not counting boat costs,crews, ships, and so forth. and the cost cutters want to cut $10 from NPR.... for real? I think our better cuts would be on their salaries. that can save NPR. and cover their cost.

So no cost saving outrage on war 3?

Recall that Hitler in his book said a country that opens 2 fronts is doomed. We have 3. Lets hope N Korea behaves, or Yemen resolves their own problems.

Anyone still have the gall to complain about NPR?

I don't want just NPR cut, I want 90% of the federal government cut

Well, in defense of Obama (I can't believe I'm saying this....), Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya aren't exactly in the same category as the allied nations of Western Europe and the Soviet Union.

Obama did this by himself and this can go on for 60 days before Congress gets to do anything.

Did Obama say how we'd pay for this when he gave the go-ahead ?

Maybe Hitler should have read his book.

If we cut our military by 75% we would still be the most powerful and dangerous military power in the world.

Different times, different leaders.

Obama is an actual bona fide Columbia/Harvard intellect... Hitler was an boner fried ignorant and poorly educated sadistic moron.

I give IQ tests, and have so for years. Obama isn't anywhere near as bright as you paint him.
