Panetta Says Obama Deficits Threaten National Security

 

Weasel Zippers and Washington Free Beacon

 

 

U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta admitted Tuesday that President Obama’s “huge deficits” and “huge debts” are national security threats. In remarks before the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday, Panetta said, “I think, in weighing how you address this issue, you’ve also got to take into consideration the national security threat that comes from the huge deficits and the huge debt that we’re running. We’re running a debt now that is comparable to our GDP.”

NBC Politics reports that new defense cuts proposed by President Obama and U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta will have a damaging affect on at least one sector of U.S. industry:

Smaller defense budgets proposed by Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta will cancel some made-in-America ships, airplanes and unmanned aerial vehicles and slow down the purchase of others.

The Obama budget also threatens to shut manufacturing and repair facilities, such as the 212-year old Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which sits on an island between Maine and New Hampshire.

  • Well, considering what is going in Europe I would say that might be a good assumption on behalf of SOD.  I wonder why its taken so long to come to that conclusion.  After all he was the Director of CIA wasn't he ?  I would of thought that he could have come to that conclusion some time ago with all the INTEL that was at his disposal.  Any laymen of history could also come to same conclusion.  I don't know if any of these bureaucrats are familiar with the history of the World.  Is it just me or am I just losing my mind?

    Confused and Dumbfounded

    in Annapolis ,

    The next thing that may happen here is that we will be paying for the tax benefits that same sex marriage couples will be getting and the extra dependents that they will enjoy as their welfare checks will get larger the more children that they bring into there homes.  Well , I am sure that the left has figured out all of the social consequences in advance since they are so adamant about this ..... After all our children are already being tutored by the Safe School Czar's , Kevin Jennings and his admirable past connections with such groups .... I never in my lifetime thought that this would be happening here in America ..... What are we doing?????

    • The obvious reason:  O B L A H M A and himself's  P A N S Y  D E M O C R A P S !!!!!!  They wre

      denied access to the White House  for  YEARS!!!!  They will now sell themselves

  • Do you think Newt will use this statement in the next debate effectively? YOU BETCHA!

  • Personally, I think ALL OF THEM are a threat to national security!

  • First he tells us that national security will not be compromised due to troop cutbacks, but now the debt is a threat. Make a decision on what you believe in and stick to it. The average american knows what the problem is - it is called Obama and the radical left that has taken over this country.

    • I wish you were right- but I hear too many people who have no idea what is going on-they don't hear it on the news and they are not paying attention- just talking and texting on cell phones- so they will vote for Obama.

      • God willing, the Republican administration under Romney will RIGHT the ship of state and turn Oblahma and his "mercenary, power-clinging supporters" into FOOTNOTES - PERIOD!!!   That said, it will be a verrrry long time before another Oblahma type ever sets foot in the White House again!!....IF EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        B.O.'s financial backers have MUCH to lose!!!!  We, The People have FARRRR MORRRRE to GAIN!!!

        FRAUDS and IMPOSTERS are soon DISCOVERED!!!!!.....and BANISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Obumer, Panetta, the whole lot of them are a threat to our National Security!!! They're the reason for the huge deficit, they think cutting our military spending will help National Security? They're IDIOTS!! They could cut their pay of all in DC way back, eliminate the departments that are repetitive of other departments, eliminate the czars, IMPEACH THE CRIMINALS STARTING WITH BHO, Go after the PEOPLE AND SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS that promote FRAUD, and that would go along ways on reducing the the deficit, reducing the debt, reducing the size of gov and getting the STINK OUT OF DC!!! But mostly doing that would help our National Security by not having their Socialist a$$ destroying our country!!!!
