All good history DEOP. Take it further back to the latter 80s when the Democrat lead Congress actually passed the plan to reduce the military long before Bush 1 was even in office. The plan was a drawdown for post cold war build up. During that time I was actually operating with Mobile Sea Base (MSB) Hercules in the Gulf and Windbrown (the other barge) was almost gone. Iran/Iraq was in full swing.

Then we left.. We warned Saudi and Kuwait that if we left it would get ugly. 5 months later Desert Shield began. Bush 1 was President, and the drawdown had to be stopped as we took everything we still had over to the middle east. The UN supported Liberation ONLY, and thats what we did. UN Resolutions between Sadaam and Coalition Forces set the cease-fire up after 100 hours of straight pounding.

Bush 1 is gone, Clinton steps in, and by 93 Iraq was breeching resolutions, and firing on forces in the no-fly-zone, and making a mockery of weapons inspectors. But the 1997 drawdown was NOT stopped to answer the call, and Clinton carved 140 Billion a year out of DoD budget by 97 and ran us into the ground.

For more insight.. google Operation Earnest Will (tanker escorting) or Praying Mantis.

The point is, Bush 1 upon agressive action from Iraq, stopped the drawdown and took action. Clinton however REFUSED to answer the call, or uphold the US responsibilities of the cease-fire agreement. Instead he used the military for expansionism at an even larger capacity than Bush 1 did around the world, but continued to undercut the budget and assets and divert the money to his own interests! Literally ran the military into the ground at almost half price, and did so by hand picking Pentagon leadership that went along with it! Guys like Adm Boorda, and Gen. Wesley Clark who watched Kurds in the Gulf slaughtered, and Uwanda crushed!

WHY is anybody,, ANYBODY at ALL,, bringing up Bush 1 when THIS post ONLY mentions the Democrats during the 90s..

I thought that certain people said that you couldn't DO such things when Clinton's name came up during a GWB Bash.....

ROFLMAO......

WELL IF OBAMA IS ELECTED WE WON'T HAVE ANY MILITARY, HE WANTS TO CUT ALL MILITARY SPENDING TO FORM A NATIONAL POLICE FORCE. HIS PLAN IS TO GET RID OF THE MILITARY AS WE NO IT ALONG WITH THE FBI, CIA, ETC.
HE ALL SO WANTS TO CUT OUT THE SPACE PROGRAM AND FUNDING.
I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS IN HIS WRITTEN PLANS FOR AMERICA.
HE ALL SO WANTS TO GIVE THE U.N. MORE CONTROLL OVER THE U.S.

PSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTT........Abunai...let me share a secret........the missles crisis of the 60's NEVER STOPPED..........Castro is a very smart man......while it appeared they were all REMOVED..........NOT..........nice post though.......and you forgot to mentioned ODYSSEY...........and surrounding areas RIGHT HERE............POOF......ONE DAY......

How are youse guys???????????????

LOL! Other than Cuba, the other players here are building up beyond what has been around for decades.

Silver Fox makes a good point that seems to go over most folks heads. Obama wants to repeat the Clinton days of stripping the military spending, and taking that money and turning America into a European socialist state! Since taxes won't be enough, he will have to cut DoD, NASA, and alot of other programs to get that revenue. Karl Marx would be quite proud of Obama's efforts!

Lets not forget he already snuck past a bill for Global Poverty to pass out .7% (Hundreds of Billions in taxpayer dollars) to poor nations up to 2015.. (IOWs warlords and dictators who are starving their people...)

Meanwhile Russia, Cuba, China, Chavez,etc smell blood in the water....

THIS IS EXPLAINS ......why the Germans and Iraq IS SO HAPPY TO SEE YOUNG BARRY....OOPSIE YOUNG OBAMA......who IS GOING TO CHANGE THE WORLD..............reminds me of the SCAR-FACE MOVIE........only is Obama...staring at the sky AT THE BLIMP......which reads...THE WORLD WILL BE YOURS............LMAOFFFFFF

dks75.. its not that we dictate others its that the others are offering themselves to be dictated to, and that void left unfilled will become a Chinese, Russian, or Iranian problem. Prevention is far cheaper than a cure! We didn't make the world as it operates, and the results of just checking out of all these other regions around the world have always ended up with our enemies attacking us here at home. Isolation is not the answer when we are the only country in the world to offer ourselves to all.
