So the Chinese have the right to arm themselves with a modern aggressive Navy but Iran can't mess with Nuke power.. HAR... The BS level has reached arm pit height !!

  The Chinese are emerging as our most direct threat, whether the Obamanites know it or not, while  Iran is not germain to this issue.  This prez has cancelled our strategic defense system, changed NASA to a Muslim appreciation society, gave Russia concessions which weren't even asked for and even used our military to help hand over Libya from a relatively secular dictator to a Muslim dictatorship..
   Now he wants our military to be reduced..the Army & Marines to be virtually cut in half. the smallest Air Force ever and the Navy ship strength cut to pre WW1 levels...
   This in the face of China's growing strength and aggressiveness...    See what our military says, including Obama's appointed Secretary of defense;
