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.

That's just crazy.
That's just crazy.
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??
Now you're geting down to the nuts and bolts of our ability to fight.
