Well, we now understand why Obama kept-on SecDef Gates.

So that when the Ayers-worshiper went about dismantling the US Armed Forces he could put a nominally Republican Face^TM on the process.

Gates announced a broad range of cuts Monday to weapons spending, saying he plans to cut programs ranging from a new helicopter for the president to ending production of the $140 billion F-22 fighter jet. The Army's modernization program would be scaled back, while a new satellite system and a search-and-rescue helicopter would be cut.

Sure, because Heaven Forbid we modernize the Army in a time of asymmetrical warfare.

What could possibly go wrong?

The good news?  These cuts will all bring howls of protest from Congress and are not likely to see the light of day.

The bad news?  That they would be proposed in the first place, of course.
