“President Obama, in reaching his decision to ditch a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe, used information from a May 2009 National Intelligence Estimate that said Iran would take three to five years longer than originally anticipated to build a long-range missile system, a senior administration official confirmed Friday.
Unclear, however, is whether that estimate was paired with information contained in a ‘secret’ document leaked from the International Atomic Energy Agency that Iran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and is developing a missile system to carry it.”

We knew this would happen:
We knew Obama would look only to the defense budget in order to offer a pretense of fiscal responsibility.
But, the non-partisan CBO knows that defense spending is NOT where the problem is located.
“Federal spending on programs other than Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security—including national defense and a wide variety of domestic programs—is likely to contribute far less, if anything, to the upward trend in federal outlays as a share of GDP”
It is obvious to any thinking person that we need dramatically LESS Federal Entitlements, NOT MORE!
But, don’t expect the MSM to educate your fellow Americans on that topic (or anything else of any relevance).
