Of breaching the debt ceiling by august 17th, i think the resolution of the two are getting tied to each other because just because of the deadlines and ultimately, you know, that might be something that Speaker Boehner has to decide for himself, does he push forward a clean debt ceiling increase and a continuing clean resolution in order to get it passed to prevent the catastrophe from happening. Likely losing or most certainly losing the speakership as a consequence. 75billion even with sequestration, theres 75 billion more down we can go to get to where the historic bottom cycle is over the last four cycles in defense spending.

Bombing grozny because you use air power in kosovo. You cant talk about jailing Political Prisoners because you have guantanamo. You cannot talk about press freedom because george bush fired dan rather, right . That is exactly what he said to him once. In 2005, he said, george bush, you fire dan rather so you can talk to me about that. If you go out there and say that, americans dont really understand you. That is the way putin side. Having said that, he certainly has a point to make, which is to say that they United States has avoided at times the u. N. Or other ratifying types of structures for issues like the proposed strike on syria. I was with the president in st. Petersburg when he was trying to get more support out of the g20 and didnt really get what he would have liked out of that because there was great ambivalence in the international community, as there was anemic in public, by the way, and as there was obviously in the oval office.

A senator mr. President . The presiding officer the senator from mississippi. Mr. Cochran mr. President , i would ask the quorum call be dispensed with. The presiding officer without objection. The senator from georgia. Mr. Chambliss i rise today to address the persistent and Significant National security threats stemming from irans unchecked nuclear program. I urge my colleagues to support the amendment to s. 1982 from the senior senator from north carolina, which include provisions to strengthen our sanctions against iran should they fail to comply with their obligations under the joint plan of action. Last november, the Obama Administration without sufficient consultation with congress committed to an interim Nuclear Agreement with the Islamic Republic of iran.

In 2024, it becomes the entire dod budget. That will not happen obviously. What highlights is the danger of that crowding out of other defense investments and acquisitions and capabilities that we will need in the future. Brad talk to lead a bit talked a little bit about how we make sure we have the right mix of capability that we want in the future . There is a question of who you trade off current capacity for readiness for future capabilities . Even if we are looking at only the 500 billion in cuts over 10 years, money has got to come from somewhere. There is a limited number of places where you can generate that from.
