This is Carter all over again.

Just look at the deal that the President is willing to sign now with Iran. Iran now gets to pick the sites that can be inspected?

Just like Carter he has turned the USA into a laughing stock around the world. The next President no matter the party will have to end this and rebuild the military once again.

There is no doubt in the minds of most of the people, that we will have to return to the middle east and rebuild the loses that Obama gave back to the terrorists.

Just one more thing to hang his hat one. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

As far as the troop cuts go they are cutting to the pre-war levels. They were raised to allow deployment rotation to the war zones and other areas with large US troop presence.

If sequestration hits again there will be an additional 17K or so troops cut.
