the U.S. Congress passed the sequestration act prior to the Obama Presidency.
the number of officers per enlisted men is the highest it has ever been; and totally unnecessary.
in a world a asymetrical warfare, traditional military establishments are not effective.
it should be noted the last budget agreed by Congress, provided a greater amount of money to the military than was requested, wanted or needed by the Department of Defense.

it is important to remember that Fox News is staffed with commentators, providing opinion. they are not a news reporting organisation. in fact, if you ask them if this is the case, they will confirm my above statement.

in the world of 24x7 "news", it is always best to make sure you know the individual's background, their political position, history and cultural bias before putting credence in what you hear or read. this goes for everyone' it is called "critical thinking".

My suggestion to kill them all, even the mice. Was more or less an analogy - dead men tell no tales, and cannot fire rockets at you.

In reality this will not stop, until the Lord returns and stops it. And anyone who even entertains any other idea, is wasting their brain power.

I told my son when the U.S. went into Iraq, unless they intend to kill every Arab in the middle east, they are wasting time and money. And will only acquire more enemies for the country, than it already has. Seems I was right - doesn't it. But the U.S. cannot rewrite scripture, so it will just have to all work out in God's good time. :)

Artz, my intention on using the term "Boy" was not intended to degrade nor demean you. If it did please accept my apology.

I abhor murder and violence. I have seen it up close and in fact have contributed to it. However, I realize there is a time when killing is the only answer remaining especially when treaties, agreements, understandings, and promises have been broken over and over as in the case of Hamas. Is it better to allow Hamas to continue the murder of innocents? Somebody is going to die and if there is no other choice I would choose the Hamas in this situation to be first on the list.

As far as abortion goes, I believe a "person" becomes a "person" at conception therefore "exists". Destroying a fetus is murder.

I guess the big difference is I am not aware of any fetus trying to kill others.

There, there Monica... you are so easily seduced by another man... your wife's concerns all end with you. I see calling me gay is some sort of an insult ... kinda telling on your hangups more than mine.

I called you out and danced on your head, supplied irrefutable proof... and all you want is a date... your poor wife...

Repeat after me, "I called the OP a liar because of his source and the mean man proved the story was 100% correct and I was 100% wrong... and I learned the absolute truth FIRST from FOX news and no mention from my biased sources, and now I'm in a personal pissing match of my own making in an attempt to highjack the post and distract everyone from seeing me on my knees in front of Obama... then calling him the very lowest, worst most despicable thing I could think of... gay! ... but still gleefully ignorant of the truth."

Just think, if you could comprehend where the truth is, you could stand up with the rest of us. LOL I'm not gay, only in your liberal world is that an insult any more- too many women and men I respect who are... you'll have to try harder.

Boy...this a strange analogy. Let's see...Hamas has demonstrated on a very consistent basis they have no respect for life including their own people using them as political pawns and intentionally putting them in harms way. Then there are the rocket attacks. It's like cancer. You have to cut out and destroy those cells that will eventually kill the body. It is a bit crass to make the statement to "kill them all" but it is the solution Hamas seeks for Israel. Why is wrong then for the enemies of Hamas to employ the same solution? What's your solution?

Artzie baby read it here, the transcript straight from the floor or the Senate, of course you may choose to not believe it, however- admit the very first place you heard the truth was from FOX.

See if it differs from the OP's version. If you were a thinking person, you'd ask, why isn't it being reported in my trusted news outlets... and then the epiphany might strike - "FOX had it right all along and the ones I "trust" are biased!".

But I hold out little hope- you are another of Obama's "Monica's"

Next time you and your ilk ( a word I learned in school many years ago and had no trouble following along) want to learn about news you may find uncomfortable, watch FOX, the others will follow suit only when they are forced not to ignore it. But then the whole uncomfortable thing is a tax on your knees.... Monica.

Now repeat after me:

"I learned about this story from FOX first- and it turned out to be absolutely true..."
