Time for strategic redeployment from Los Angelos

Gateway Pundit points out that casualty figures in Los Angelos exceeded those in Iraq last year.

In 2005 there were 846 US military casualties in Iraq.

In 2005 there were 860 homicides in the Los Angeles area.

Representative John Murtha (Pink Hawk) today called the situation in Iraq a Civil War.

He also said that US military will be withdrawing from Iraq by the end of the year. The Iraqis have already announced that they are taking over security from the Allied forces for security in several sections of Iraq. This shows the progress being made in training of Iraqi forces.

However, Rep. Murtha is making it sound like we are losing in Iraq....

...
The idea that the US is losing in Iraq is preposterous and shows a profound ignornace of history and warfare. The enemy has not won a single engagement of platoon size or larger inIraq and is infact incapable of engage US troops with out risking his own destruction. For that reason his primary focus of attack has been on Iraqi noncombatants. This has backfired seriously on him, resulting in infighting among the enemy and greater intelligence to US forces. There are people in this country who want to lose this war and they try daily to turn victory into defeat, but the facts on the ground say they are wrong.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
