Pentagon board says cuts essential
 
WASHINGTON - A senior Pentagon advisory group, in a series of bluntly worded briefings, is warning President-elect Barack Obama that the Defense Department's current budget is "not sustainable," and he must scale back or eliminate some of the military's most prized weapons programs.

So far, so good.
 
Stopping us from going to war with Iran and Syria (and others) just hit a new high.
 
this "war within a war" is hardly over, though.
 
It would be totally "CHANGE" for Obama to put America ahead of Special Interests. But they are very powerful, with that kind of money floating around.
 
EDIT: just for the record, I would have been disappointed years back with cuts to leading edge technological weapon systems like this. But now I know that having a very powerful army in the hands of very corrupt people is not a wise thing. So, Ix-nay the eapons-way.
