U.S. Navy To Lose Their Tomahawk And Hellfire Missile Programs



Obama to Kill Tomahawk, Hellfire Missile Programs -- Washington Free Beacon

Cornerstone of U.S. Naval power eliminated under Obama budget

President Barack Obama is seeking to abolish two highly successful missile programs that experts say have helped the U.S. Navy maintain military superiority for the past several decades.

The Tomahawk missile program—known as “the world’s most advanced cruise missile”—is set to be cut by $128 million under Obama’s fiscal year 2015 budget proposal and completely eliminated by fiscal year 2016, according to budget documents released by the Navy.

In addition to the monetary cuts to the program, the number of actual Tomahawk missiles acquired by the United States would drop significantly—from 196 last year to just 100 in 2015. The number will then drop to zero in 2016.

My Comment: But what makes these cuts so bizarre is that the Pentagon does not even have a replacement missile ready to take the Tomahawk’s place.

There is something very wrong about the way Obama is running things..
Remind me, how long does the US and the world have to put up with him before his time is up?
Question is, how much more damage can he do in that allotted time??
