The cost of the supercommittee’s failure

Van Jones, that commie puke who almost got into the White House is cheering the super committee’s failures this week in the Huffington Post;

…the Bush tax cuts will automatically expire at the end of next year and $600 billion of cuts in defense will go into effect automatically [which would be truly historic] in January 2013 if Congress does nothing.

Yeah, that’s what our adversaries are banking on (Fox News link sent by Old Trooper);

Russia will deploy new missiles aimed at U.S. missile defense sites in Europe if Washington goes ahead with the planned shield despite Russia’s concerns, President Dmitry Medvedev said Wednesday.

Yeah, why should they worry since we’re slashing our military to 1940 levels. You remember 1940, right? Our soldiers were training with two-by-four wooden rifles and jeeps with tank cutouts over them.

In another link from Old Trooper, on Yahoo/APF, the US will retaliate by not reporting our conventional to Russia;

The United States said Tuesday it would no longer provide data to Russia on conventional weapons and troops in Europe, citing non-compliance by Moscow with a two-decade old treaty that governed the information exchange.

Yeah, like Russia doesn’t know our strength from reading Stars & STtripes or by driving by the kassernes in their Mercedes. I feel safer already.

Oh, for the story on the lead picture, go here.
