Kristol Uses Pirate Crisis To Argue For More Defense Spending
Kristol Uses Pirate Crisis To Argue For More Defense Spending
Earlier this month, Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced a plan to reorient defense spending away from lucrative boondoggles for contractors and toward systems that are proven to work and are needed in present-day military situations. Conservatives immediately cried foul; Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) went so far as to claim that the Obama administration “is willing to sacrifice the lives of American military men and women for the sake of domestic programs.”
Right-wing pundit Bill Kristol was among the conservatives fearmongering about the supposed “cuts.” Following North Korea’s test launch of a missile, Kristol declared that “it is scary to have a president” talk about cutting the defense budget. “It is a very dangerous moment,” he said. Today on Bill Bennett’s radio show, Kristol said he hoped that the pirate crisis would make President Obama think twice before following through on the proposed budget reforms:
KRISTOL: Unfortunately, given the world we live in, this [military funding] is not something we can skimp. And that’s another thing I hope the president realizes —
BENNETT: Budget cuts. The defense budget cuts, right?
KRISTOL: Well I hope he thinks about that. I mean, a lot of things that don’t look necessary — who needs the a big destroyer, the U.S.S. Bainbridge? Who needs Seals getting hours, weeks, months of training being snipers, isn’t that something that went out of fashion 70 years go? You can imagine people making these arguments. And it turns out, a lot of these things turn out to be important. … And I do hope it makes him sort of understand that there’s no substitute for having a strong and large military, honestly.
Listen here:
Kristol cites the pirate crisis — and the use of the U.S.S. Bainbridge — as some sort of proof that the plan to shift resources away from costly Naval destroyers is misguided. However, there was no need for a massive naval destroyer; in fact, it took “several hours” for the 8,000-ton ship to arrive at the scene. Indeed, as Matthew Yglesias noted, Gates himself mocked the idea that such ships could defend against pirates:
Gates is holding on to the Littoral Combat System project for the Navy even though the program has had a lot of cost overruns and so forth. Gates said that despite the problems, “I think it has a capability we just have to have.” Specifically, the promise of a ship that’s not only agile, but relative cheap on a per-ship basis is large. “You don’t need a $5 billion ship to go after pirates,” Gates said.
A greater number of less expensive ships would be arguably more effective than fewer, expensive naval destroyers like the Bainbridge and its even more expensive successors, the DDG-1000, which Gates is seeking to cut. Indeed, the defense budget reforms reflect the type of “reshaping,” Gates said, “that the combatant commanders are asking for.”
Kristol is not alone is seeking to use the pirate crisis to shill for increased defense spending. Last week, Fox military analyst Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney said on air that he would deploy the massively expensive and unproved F-22 to combat pirates. Conveniently, McInerney is a consultant for one of the F-22’s major contractors.

I love Billy Crystal, ooops wrong comedian.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:16 pmWhy don’t we just have everyone here work for the military and spend all our money on warships, warplanes, missiles, bombs, etc. and then just use them indescriminately at our leisure. That seems to be what Kristol and his neocon knuckle-draggers want.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:19 pmI firmly believe that most normal minded people do not want this sort of ideology to hijack our country… again.
Yes, we need to buy (hundreds!) more Mach 2 capable interceptors in order to defend against pirates in motorized canoes. Makes perfect sense.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:22 pmWouldn’t it be nice if these motormouths were required to have active duty military personnel on the air with them when they start their chatter? You know, people who actually know what the military needs, and not some politician who’s trying to keep his share of the defense money flowing home, building unnecessary and unusable junk like the F-22.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:25 pmJust a thought, but, if we didn’t keep selling high tech weaponry to the rest of the world, we might not have to defend against it.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:25 pmKristol: Who needs Seals getting hours, weeks, months of training being snipers, isn’t that something that went out of fashion 70 years go? You can imagine people making these arguments. And it turns out, a lot of these things turn out to be important. …
Oh, you lying turd. Please show us the item in the defense budget that calls for cuts in sniper training. Or STFU!
April 13th, 2009 at 6:26 pmJohn Bolton saying we need to nuke Somalia in 3…2…1…
April 13th, 2009 at 6:28 pmAs usual, he has it wrong…they are reapplying the military to the type of training the Seals are getting, it has been proven that you don’t use bombs to do precession operations.

Here we go again transmitting from Planet Wingnuttia on the Gas Bag Network. A new pet project: Using pirate crisis as the poster child for more defense spending. Vampire Kristol has too much time on hands to give real reporting and infromation. Memo to Kristol: We got two wars going on and funding. And I mean two wars. Step away from the koolaid please.

Easy war is what motivates war-mongers. It’s the easiest money to be made.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:34 pmBilly Kristol would use a HANGNAIL to argue for more defense spending.
*BIIIIIIIIG eyeroll*
April 13th, 2009 at 6:34 pmI’m frankly surprised they didn’t use the coal-ash spill to demand more drilling for oil.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:34 pmThese guys are wrong, and a broken record. Are the FOX fans enjoying the re-runs?
April 13th, 2009 at 6:35 pmBetween the SEALS, the Rangers, the Green Berets, and Marine Recon the US could probably slide into the Somalian hot spots and retrieve all ships held hostage. Would there be a loss of hostages? Yup. Probably between 10-15% of them.
If we were to launch a conventional attack? More like 95-100% loss. No wonder Bolton is for the conventional.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:36 pmI say we strap kristol’s a$$ to a cannonball and launch him at the pirates.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:37 pmOh, and give him an eye patch and a sword.
OT; This is must read from planet Wingnuttia (thanx SP Biloxi), Alaska about Sarah Palin’s pick for Attorney General there. Unbelievable!

Can they keep quiet for just one second. They keep making themselves look like jerks. And what’s up with this Tea Party crap. They ought to be ashame of themselves.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:41 pmWhy does he have a soapbox, he’s been 100% wrong about Everything.
Actually, a soapbox in the middle of the commons would be an appropriate place for him.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:41 pmHow many wars does Bolton think we could fight at one time? Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and Somalia? Of course, in Somalia, they would probably welcome us with flowers just like they did in Iraq.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:44 pmIf we were smart, we’d go in and try to help the poor people of Somalia.
The situation in Somalia is grim at best. 24% of Somali people are suffering from acute malnutrition; this level is greater than the global emergency thresholds [2]. A mere 29% of the population simply has access to safe, clean water. Although the whole population is suffering, Somali children are exceptionally affected by the current conditions.

I know that USAID claims to be feeding 3 million Somalians and that USAID supplies were on the Maersk ship ‘Alabama’. I couldn’t find anything that really assessed how successful that program is there.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:44 pmok…can somebody ask Bill, why we would need 12,000 nuclear warheads, it did not protect us from 9/11?

It doesn’t matter. As long as Bolton and his Neocon krew are not fighting the good fight themselves, it doesn’t matter how many of YOUR children must die for their wet dreams. Always expect the Neocons to suggest another war – it is what they do.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:52 pmAs I have said before, the people that cheer lead for war ought to be the first to go up to the front lines…….now wouldn`t that be romantic.Is the Kristol Ball a draft dodger to, if so him,Cheney,Bush and Limpballs should be the first to go.I should say deferment team.Cowards all of them.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:56 pmThey (”Kristol and his neocon knuckle-draggers”) already have it… Iraq… Halliburton… KBR… Blackwater and the deficits we are working to pay off!!!
April 13th, 2009 at 6:57 pmIf a defense budget that rivals all the other defense budgets in the world combined isn’t enough, then money isn’t the problem—leadership, integrity, and discipline is in short supply.
April 13th, 2009 at 6:58 pmBolton and Kristol should be gay for each other, both get woodies just thinking about war.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:00 pmI think we should invest in more superheroes.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:01 pmAnd zeta Gundam battle suits.
And X5 transgenics.
And sharks with friggin’ lasers attached to their heads.
That’d be cool.
Obama gave the green light and the crises ended with three bullets – pretty cost efficient, and reflective of a new, streamlined military. Kristol just yearns for the good ‘ol Bush days when an attack from Somalian pirates would have caused W. to invade, oh, let’s say Portugal. One would think that as consistently and throughly wrong as Kristol has been for the past decade on every political subject he’s touched he might STFU. But with the Reich, that’s just not how they roll…
April 13th, 2009 at 7:01 pmkristol has not been correct on ANYTHING for a decade! How does this IDIOT have a JOBBBBB???
April 13th, 2009 at 7:04 pmKristol need to get out on the market, and find a legitimate, paying job.
I’m utterly sick of seeing what he says repeated anywhere, let alone here.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:04 pmLets just call America 1984 where your one of three things. A greedster who works for the ministry of propaganda, a dupe who believes we have always been at war with whoever they are told at the moment or an indifferent prole who still sings while hanging laundry
April 13th, 2009 at 7:08 pmKristol doesnt have to be correct he just has to scare people into spending money on things that go boom.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:09 pmThis is nonsense.
The F22 would not be used to combat these pirates. Everyone knows that. You don’t have to be a military expert to know that the F22 would be the last thing we’d deploy against these pirates on the sea would be the F22.
Helicopters, special teams, destroyers, pt boats, etc, would be how we’d go after them. As Secretary Gates said, we’re fighting two wars now and we haven’t had a need to use them so why would we use them here?
This is nonsense that we’d need them against these indigent pirates.
And as sorry as I am to see the F-22 phased out (its a sweet plane despite its 189 million price tag) what the press fails to report when they report that we’re cutting spending on the F-22 is that we’re INCREASING spending on the F-35, which utilizes the F-22’s technology. Somehow the press always leaves that part of it out.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:10 pmHow is it North Korea demonstrates a missile that, with minor modifications, could reach Los Angles and a week later Gates cuts anti-missile development spending? Kristol would make a better Sec of Def than Gates.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:12 pmWhat do I have to fear from North Korea? Is it the same thing I have to fear from Cuba?
April 13th, 2009 at 7:13 pmTo emphasize – the defense budget was NOT cut, in fact, it will increase by 21%. They’d have something to complain about it the budget was cut as much as I would like — at least 50% or more. All that’s happening is cutting some useless weapon systems. And Kristol would promote going to war against any country or any group, at any time, for any reason. He’s a sick man.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:14 pmCause we got that super expenesive Star Wars system to shoot down missiles!! Im sure Kristol also supported that.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:17 pmHas anyone else noticed how much Kristol looks like Lips Manlis, the character played by Paul Sorvino in the 1990 Dick Tracy movie?

North Korea has been unable to successfully launch one single missile, and it will take more than “minor modifications.” Idiot.

People who want you scared because the military industrial complex has become a business that must continually be fed taxpayer dollars to exist.
Its generational theft thru fear mongering
April 13th, 2009 at 7:30 pmThis guy rubs and examines his “Kristol ball” to gain insight and inspiration for his public comments. Yes, I’m referring to his left “nad”.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:31 pm10hd, our anti-missile defense system does–not–work.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:34 pmIt fails tests that are heavily weighted in its favor.
the fact that we’ve actually deployed a weapons system that doesn’t work is either insane or corrupt.
we are still at the basic research stage on missile defense, and that’s fine to spend money on–but not deploying a system before it works.

Hehe. Or maybe he knows Obama realizes that thing. Maybe this is just Kristol getting his false flag on, like he often does.
Either way may he come to realize his mistakes.

Perhaps we should be encouraging the North Koreans to develop their missile production ability, then our big defense contractors can outsource production and lay off American workers (unionized shops 1st). That will increase profits and allow for hugh bonuses for the CEO’s.

Now that is some great original thinking. Outsource our own missile production to North Korea. We make friends with Kim and we spend less on defense. But we loose all that fear. We could give a couple of missiles to the Somalia pirates just to keep Kristol and the neocons scared.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:03 pmwhy is it in every picture lil willy kristol looks like he just shot out a runny crap in his underwear?

April 13th, 2009 at 8:05 pmYeh, all this spending and Osama is still roaming around while we are having alot more folks killed right here on our southern border than by some pirates…
April 13th, 2009 at 8:07 pmIf we had followed the constitution there would be no FED [national private bank] and we would have no debts [taxes] and we wouldnt have chicken hawks telling us to be scared so the defense industry could make money
April 13th, 2009 at 8:09 pmXisithrus
Don’t worry about that Southern border. All those illegals marching across it are voters for Obama and sub-minimum wage workers for McCain’s pal’s factories. It’s just a win-win situation with a bit of drug violence mixed in. Nothing to worry about.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:11 pmHow long exactly would it take a Somali pirate to get one of those plastic boats close to our shores if they have to hitchhike?
April 13th, 2009 at 8:20 pmKristol is one of the biggest buffoons & losers on the air. Has he EVER got anything right? What a jerk.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:27 pmIt’s great to have a strong military, but this seems to be conservative figures for what the U.S. is spending on defense in relation to the rest of the world:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures
We spend about half the world’s total. If we have to cut spending, it is reasonable that the defense budget should be considered.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:37 pmI’m not a violent person but I’d love to meet Bill Krystol in person. I can’t put into words the contempt I feel for that thing.

April 13th, 2009 at 8:50 pmBill Kristol is “arguing for more defense” spending? Who the F–K is he arguing with, his imaginary friend?
April 13th, 2009 at 8:52 pm10 Dr. Moth Matt,
I was wondering if the wingnuts were screaming that they hope that Obama fails the Somali standoff.
Wonder if they are sending condolence cards to the almost widow, expressing their sentiments.
April 13th, 2009 at 9:16 pmGreat, we have Kristol and Bolton advising Obama on military matters. Isn’t there a little matter of the WMDs that were never found. That’s right; we were liberating the freedom loving people of Iraqi. Or we didn’t get the troop levels right. These two clowns don’t understand credibility counts. Maybe someone should tell them that Bush is no longer president!
April 13th, 2009 at 9:17 pmIt seems rather inane for Kristol to be arguing this at this time:
1) Obama budget increases defense spending.
2) Gates downgraded the F-22 program.
3) The hostages of the Somali Pirates were rescued just fine without the F-22s that the wingnuts said were needed.
4) Hostages were rescued by a handful of old-fashioned snipers. I’m sure their scopes cost a lot of money, but hopefully less than $ 1 billion each.

I was born in 1947, and remember being herded into the tunnel that ran between the school and the gymnasium when I was 6 years old (during the Korean War). This was in Denver, Colorado. Pretty unlikely (impossible) we would get bombed there, but sure scared all us kids! It didn’t take me long to figure out we were all being given a line of b.s., and I’ve not trusted the “government message” much since that time.
April 13th, 2009 at 9:24 pmEveryone keeps saying that Obama should not cut defense spending. But he is not. He is increasing it by $21 billion.
And when people quote the military spending figure, they just include what is in the Pentagon budget.
Much of our military spending is in the budget of other departments: the Veterans Administration, nuclear weapons under Energy Dept, retirement from Treasury, Social Security, satellites under NASA, interest on military spending
War Resisters League says the amount is $1.449 Trillion annually

April 13th, 2009 at 10:05 pmKristol is the biggest tool ever to grace the right wing media circles. He still supports the Iraq war and would love to see the US invade Iran. The guy is a total zero intellectually!
April 13th, 2009 at 11:03 pmSomebody could let a fart slip at the gym and these fools would use that as an argument to deplete the treasury buying imaginary weapons. This guy is consistently wrong and faces his own ignorance every time he turns around. Who is stupid enough to hire this fool?
April 13th, 2009 at 11:09 pmsomewhere in the long forgotten past, I seem to recall that wingnuts used to argue that the US can’t the world’s cop. I guess that was a time before they figured out how green they could make their pockets sucking the lifeblood from the country purchasing useless military hardware and nonsense weapons systems.

April 14th, 2009 at 12:05 amwe americans are imperialists.
we dont know we are.
we dont have a clue we are.
spend more what the hay it is only borrowed money from china.
and we can pay them back with a devalued dollar.
I say we should fix every country in the world with our military might. best way to do that is have a draft and increase defense spending.
if any american thinks our mega military expense is about defense and not offense belongs in germany in the 1930’s
god I love america we can bully the world and they do nothing. why they want to sell us their stuff.
ike warned us but no one listened.
as america self destructs the politicans tell americans it is only a recession. the worst part most americans believe them.
we will learn just like germany had to learn fighting two world wars.
when we are broke and have a society of haves and have nots we may rethink our brand of capitalism.
April 14th, 2009 at 12:19 amIf the goal is to protect and defend the United States of America then the first thing we should do is tie down the loose cannon in the Middle East, Israel.
April 14th, 2009 at 12:37 amHow is the defense budget being cut? The last I heard Obama has approved an increase in defense spending. So halting the spending on an overpriced fighter is budget cutting? The reallocation of funds from one area to another when needed is not only an appropriate action but warranted for an adequate defense of the nation. Stop with the half truths and self serving bickering.
April 14th, 2009 at 1:01 amWhy does Kristol always look like he just farted?
Bloody Bill has trouble with the fact that he is no longer an influence on our foreign policy. For a serious Wanker – that’s difficult stuff. He was yanked out of the war room by the election and now he doesn’t know what to do with his hands anymore.
Poor baby.

April 14th, 2009 at 7:48 amI would think that that area could be patrolled effectively by Predator drones. The only issue would be in telling which small boats are priates and which are not but anything coming from Somalia should bear watching.

April 14th, 2009 at 9:10 amIn #72, I forgot to mention the CIA’s budget that is not included as military spending. We are not allowed to know how much they spend or what their actions are. In the past, they have included overthrowing democratic governments, strengthening fundamentalist Islamists, bringing Saddam Hussein to power, reinstating the Shah in Iran, removing a liberal PM in Australia, funding death squads in Africa, Central and South America, etc.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:28 amJournalist Philip Weiss on the Neoconservative agenda:
“In terms of their politics, they were almost all Democrats and then as soon as the Democratic party suggested that it wasn’t going to have a strong military, Norman Podhoretz and Irving Kristol, the grandfathers of this movement, they went Republican. Why? Because they said, back in the 70’s, a strong American military is needed to protect Israel.”

April 14th, 2009 at 9:29 amSlow drones do a better job of aerial surveillance than supersonic F-22s. The Air Force is dead set against unmanned aircraft, so their generals will do whatever they can to push expensive piloted planes.
April 14th, 2009 at 11:32 amYa know these necons who push for wars, like Kristol, are always trying to get our military to fight wars that Israel wants, but is to chicken to start themselves. Israel likes to bomb countries with little or no defenses. They know they can get away with mass attacks on the Palestinians, Lebanon, and Syria who cannot match their US supplied aircraft and chemical bombs.
Funny you never see names like Kristol, Krauthammer, Wolfowitz, Goldberg on the list of soldiers who died in Iraq or Afghanistan…why is that?
