Do we trust Romney to understand and run the military?

"The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday said Republican candidate Mitt Romney doesn't know what he's talking about when he criticizes President Barack Obama's proposed cuts in defense spending and is putting himself at odds with the nation's military leaders."

"The Armed Services chairman said that based on his conversations with the nation's military leaders, they have embraced the budget as the "right way to go" after the strategic review."

    Levin helped draft that piece of crap indefinite detainment piece of legislation defending Obama the whole way even though the legislation leaves the door open for no Miranda Rights if you are a suspected "terrorist"

    "And I hear Romney out there. I don't believe the man knows what he's talking about. It's just a totally political position that he thinks the president is weak," Levin said.

    Your article said and I agree with that. But these are all wily politicians.

    I hope Obama wins. I don't want Romney. I understand Obama's agenda and don't feel it's as potentially destructive as Romney's. I feel Romney would continue to wipe out what's left of the middle class by making everything really "cost conscious" for the very rich and unaffordable for those who have less.

    Source(s): I don't trust any of them - better to go with the devil we know in this case especially

    The Obama defense strategy review, or Romney's view, will not make any substantive difference to continuing global hegemony.

    I'm shocked! A Democratic Senator wanting to close bases and gut our military, is agreeing with Obama and saying Romney is clueless? What are the odds? I wonder if a Republican Senator in charge of the Senate Armed Services Committee will say the same thing after we have a new president in November?

    Romney will oppose Obama's view and the Dem platform at the risk of appearing foolish. Mitt's handlers aren't merely clueless, they don't concern themselves with what's right for the country. I'll bet he hasn't even read the Simpson-Bowles report.

    I haven't heard anything from Romney that shows any knowledge of the military world other than destroy Iran.

    No but i don't think anyone is qualified untill they get in office and start working with the experts who do know how. what i fear worse is a person like Bush who was sure they were an expert before they get the job.

    No..All he understands is money, and will be pleased if we overspend on defense and the private contractors make a killing, effectively transferring more wealth out of the middle and into the upper class. We all know this.

Just look at the site globallistagenda.org and decide for yourself take 10 minutes it will blow your mind.
