Obama To Cut Military $1.4 billion and Give His Group ACORN $8 Billion

It’s designed to either shoot down or detonate against enemy ballistic missiles. They’re like flying mines. This is designed as a defense mechanism, the MKV will seek out LAUNCHED nuclear missles and hit them. How the MKV-L concept works & its successful first hover ground test (Dec. 2008).

Gates announced yesterday that U.S. missile defense programs would be slashed by over $1.4 billion (roughly 15%).
This decision comes on the heels of North Korea’s ICBM launch; Iran’s continued development of nuclear weapons and advanced missile technologies; and the disturbing buildup of China’s defense infrastructure. Iran’s president went so far as to publicly state his goal of a world without America and Israel.

“We are in the process of an historical war between the World of Arrogance [the West] and the Islamic world, and this war has been going on for hundreds of years… …In this very grave war, many people are trying to scatter grains of desperation and hopelessness regarding the struggle between the Islamic world and the front of the infidels.”

While slashing $1.4 billion from strategic missile defense programs, President Obama found more than $8 billion for a liberal activist group entwined in “a pattern of crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style ‘protection’ racket.”
Richard Burr of North Carolina, ACORN is eligible for roughly $8 billion in block grants and redundant increases in the budget for the U.S. Census.

BREAKING: Missile Defense Cuts; MKV TERMINATED
Gates is currently holding his hatchet briefing. Here are the cuts to missile defense he just announced:
Total cuts in missile defense: $1.4 billion or roughly 15%.
Cancel second Airborne Laser (ABL) aircraft, keep the one remaining ABL prototype as a testbed and revert to pure R&D.
No increases in Ground-based Interceptor (GBI) deployment in Alaska. Remaining silos will stay unfilled. European GBIs will be decided on later during the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR).
Termination of the Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV) program. As you recall, MKV just recently had a well, awesome, test:

The Wall Street Journal
Fourth, in the area of missile defense:
We will restructure the program to focus on the rogue state and theater missile threat.
We will not increase the number of current ground-based interceptors in Alaska as had been planned. But we will continue to robustly fund continued research and development to improve the capability we already have to defend against long-range rogue missile threats – a threat North Korea’s missile launch this past weekend reminds us is real.
We will cancel the second airborne laser (ABL) prototype aircraft. We will keep the existing aircraft and shift the program to an R&D effort. The ABL program has significant affordability and technology problems and the program’s proposed operational role is highly questionable.
We will terminate the Multiple Kill Vehicle (MKV) program because of its significant technical challenges and the need to take a fresh look at the requirement.
Overall, the Missile Defense Agency program will be reduced by $1.4 billion.

Pentagon to end F-22 production
The Hill
In a blow to Lockheed Martin, the Pentagon has decided to purchase to end funding of the F-22 fighter jet.
The decision by Defense Secretary Robert Gates will rouse widespread opposition in Congress and is likely to bog down the 2010 budget approval process, with F-22 supporters maneuvering to secure more money.
The Pentagon will fund four of the radar-evading stealth fighters in the upcoming 2009 emergency war-spending request, but those additional aircraft will do little to keep the production line in Marietta, Ga., open beyond 2011. Lockheed Martin is the main contractor for the F-22, each of which costs about $140 million.
Gates announced the decision at a press conference on the Defense budget on Monday afternoon.
No money will be requested in the fiscal 2010 budget, congressional and industry sources familiar with the budget briefings told The Hill. Gates has been making calls to the chairmen of the congressional defense committees.
The final F-22 of the 183 currently on order will be delivered at the end of 2011. Building another four would keep the line open for only a few months beyond that end date.
Lockheed Martin and its subcontractors, including Boeing, in recent weeks have stepped up their campaign to keep the production line open. They argue that 25,000 people work directly for the 1,000 suppliers of the F-22 in 44 states, and another 70,000 indirectly owe their jobs to this program.

Wild Thing’s comment…….
Fox reported on TV that this will mean the end of 90,000 jobs. So let’s see, next we will hear how more people are unemployed and it is Bush’s fault. I mean that IS how the liar Obama does his thing.
I think Obama has hated this country since he was a child.
My understanding is that the F-22 is a most valuable weapon for our future defense and that should be the argument to keep funding it.
Curses upon those who would strike the sword from the hand of our country.
Want top see a totally cool website? It is for the F22 Fighter. It opens with an F 22 Raptor coming right at you.
