I’ll believe it when it finally happens.
But the news that Congress might actually stop production of a
high-tech, job-generating and, most of all, high-profit weapons system
because it fills no legitimate national security function is a
considerable victory for President Barack Obama and Secretary of
Defense Robert Gates, as well as for logic.
The
phrase "Obama has a lot on his plate" is the understatement of the
year. The president has a to-do list a mile long, and every day a new
crisis (like the coup in Honduras) gets added to the list. Can we really fault him if he sneaks the occasional smoke?
