QUOTE QUOTE Defense News WASHINGTON — Most of the US Navy’s aviation programs take significant hits in the 2015 budget, including the P-8A Poseidon, F-35C Joint Strike Fighter, and MH-60R helicopter, and plans to buy the MQ-8C Fire Scout unmanned shipboard aircraft have been shelved for now. The budget also takes a big bite out of weapons procurement, notably the elimination of Tactical Tomahawk cruise missile procurement after this year. The military budget is in desparate need of cuts, it's over half of our discretionary budget and most of those aviation programs are being cut because DoD doesn't even want more of those planes.
It's the F-22 debate all over again, the most expensive fighter in the world and chances are if we made as many as the conservatives want us to we'd just end up mothballing them at an Air Guard base.

I sure hope someone told the 1st Infantry Division that, although they are moving their HQ to Iraq, their CinC was quoted as saying, "There is no military solution to Islamic terrorism. It has nothing to do with Islam, which is the religion of peace."
Can you imagine your old high school coach saying something like, we have no solution for our opponent tonight, but please go out there and give her hell anyway. C'mon...be a sport.

The 1st Infantry Division will replace service members who have been in Iraq since June.

Up to 300 Iraq troops killed. Others missing, possibly dead or having fled. Dozens of military vehicles, from tanks to ambulances, destroyed or seized. And the Iraqi military in disarray, so much so the country's Prime Minister has sent "anti-terrorism forces ... to hold the negligent (military) leaders responsible."

It has nothing to do with Islam, which is the religion of peace." No, Rush Limbaugh said that. I Googled the quote and all the hits come back to a recent Rush Limbaugh episode. Google Results Limbaugh may have commented on it but Obama said it.
Here is the full quote and source.
"Finally, this resolution recognizes that there is no military solution to the problem of misguided individuals seeking to join terrorist organizations, and it, therefore, calls on nations to work together to counter the violent extremism that can radicalize, recruit, and mobilize individuals to engage in terrorism." Obama
