When Richard Bruce Cheney was Secretary of Defense under Pres. G. H. W. Bush, the Pentagon budget went from $523,598,000 to $435,397,000.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, the military budget is going to actually go up under Pres. Obama's plan -- the project increase in spending is all that is being 'cut'.

Lizzy Cheney is an arrogant idiot.

What a spectacular idiot. We spend more on our military than the rest of the world combined. I think we can cut some spending without harming our defense capability. Given our number of nukes and military forces no country is going to attack us. That would be suicide.

I'm so sick of the "we hate Obama and we just need to defeat him in 2012" contingent. How about you asshats do something to help the American people? That might be good.

Well, Liz, if you think the military is being decimated* I'm sure you and your Reich-wing pals are willing to cough up the taxes to pay for it, no?

Liz "Spawn Of Darth" Cheney: <Sound of crickets.>

And that's the answer to every conservative! "Good idea! Willing to pay for it? No? Thought so. STFU."

*(She does not understated the meaning of that word)
