Harry Truman to the Persian Gulf, citing budget concerns relating to the looming cuts known as the sequester. "Can you imagine Ronald Reagan sitting there and saying, 'Oh, by the way, I can't do this because of some budget document?'" Woodward said on MSNBC. "Or George W. Bush saying, 'You know, I'm not going to invade Iraq because I can't get the aircraft carriers I need?'" Or even Bill Clinton saying, 'You know, I'm not going to attack Saddam Hussein's intelligence headquarters,' ... because of some budget document?"

There was a lot of blabbering by superficial twunts on both sides including one of the most wretched presidents in memory. Now, the "fiscal cliff", a silly unnecessary artifact derived from said blabbering, is arriving and the republicans are claiming they want to play hardball. The wretch is apparently just saying "batter up!". It's a lot of stupid posturing by both sides. Seriously, what is your point?

What's the point of only one side playing the game? They posture stupidly, he postures stupidly. It's not like it makes a difference; only the laws of probability make it a finite chance that this whole thing is not prearranged and choreographed.

Besides, it was Defense Secretary Leon Panetta who ordered the carrier to remain stateside. How about some of the European countries put their ships in the Persian Gulf and pay to protect their oil supplies for a change?
