How is the Osprey a waste of money. It replaced the aging Vietnam Era Ch-46.
So the Chinese are inventing missles to kill carriers. Is that something new? The Russians have had them all along.

Problem the Chinese and Russians have is not killing a carrier, but getting through the carrier task force defense systems, almost any missile can damage a carrier. Were not going to have a war with them in the next year.
What is a more immediate threat is Obama putting the auto industries of both our countries out of business. There goes Canada's 1% lead over the U.S. in unemployment out the window.

And the US if tensions rise will not send the 7th Fleet down the Strait of Formosa.
That does not seem to be a problem at the moment. It would open the possibility of another world war.
Hey I got an idea ~ let's put Bush back in the White House! That certainly will satisfy the right wing desire to destroy the USA.
Oh brother. Would the liberals ever love the return of GW Bush to the White House! Their lives were so focused on him for 8 years that they have lost all meaning when Bush left. They adored him.
Goopher has confirmed that. He NEEDS Bush, he ACHES for Bush, he LOVES Bush.
10 years from now we could be at war with Liechtenstein who somehow develops a weapon to take over the world. 10 years is a long time these days. Seriously, I think China and Formosa will come to a understanding although China could conquer them quite easily, there will be many causalities.
Formosa is not the problem - The Yellow Sea is along with the overlapping claims on the resources it is supposed to hold. China claims just about everything.
That they do, China has claim to pretty much all the islands in the South China Sea as well as the Yellow Sea with a potential of oil deposits. All countries bordering both these seas have laid claims to these islands. From the Philippines, through Vietnam and even Formosa.
And China came out, laid claim and want s to negotiate one on one. Thank God the US stood up. Now the members of countries that have claims can have some back up - They all want it settled as a group - China was trying their bully act on the world stage. The interesting part will be how India expands it's military as China encircles them.
The White House Wants a List
Want a federal contract? Show politicians the money.
Here's another reason to think the 2012 campaign is underway with a vengeance: If a company wants a federal government contract, from now on it will first have to disclose if the company or its executives gave more than $5,000 in political donations.
This latest federal rule comes courtesy of a new executive order now being drafted in the White House. The order would implement parts of last year's Disclose Act, which failed to pass Congress but was a favorite of Democrats because it would deter political contributions by business after last year's Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court decision. White House press secretary Jay Carney confirmed last week that the order is in the works after former Federal Election Commission official Hans von Spakovsky obtained a copy of the draft.

Obama's childish and petulant 'performance' at the Correspondents' Dinner revealed beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is immature, unprepared, thin-skinned political dilettante, in way over his head.
And the Disney video he showed, illustrated that he is not the Lion King, but The Lying President.

I will take the last couple of comments that were not to happy with him. Just hope these thoughts hold true in 2012.
Beg to differ, Eaglesmack. There has never been a WEAKER candidate in history than Obama, in history. A white looking candidate - with equal amounts of white and black parentage - would have never made it thru the Democratic primaries.
Obama was successful conning the people because he knew that declaring that he is black would make him immune to any criticism, because no one wants to be labeled RACIST. Throwing his white grandparents under the bus just made him look more adorable in the eyes of his acolytes.
If an empty-suit like Obama could make it, so can any Republican running against him. Also, let us not discount a possibility of a Democratic primary challenger, based on Obama's woeful record about EVERYTHING that turned to dust under his watch.
In my opinion, Obama simply ran a better campaign. The country was tired (or sick) of 8 years of GW and Obama had a jugernaught of a campaign. I thought for sure Clinton would have got the nod but it just wasn't to be. All candidates do what they have to do to win.
I don't know though, I just don't see a GOP frontrunner. I think Clinton and Bush suffered with bad poll numbers and still managed to win that second term.
We shall see.
