BRAC

I'm getting this post in real quick, just in time to make a prediction:


Rumsfeld says base closures save money!
The nine-member base-closing commission, known as BRAC, is led by former Veterans Affairs Secretary Anthony Principi.

It will review the Pentagon's recommendations and send them, along with any changes, to the White House by September 8.


Odds that Ellsworth AFB will be on the BRAC's base closure list: 3:2

I'll take bets. Anyone?



UPDATE!!! 5/13 9:49 AM

Hate to say I told you so, but according to highly reputable sources, Ellworth AFB is on the base closure list. John Thune, the man that said Tom f'n Daschle couldn't keep Ellsworth open as a member of the opposite party (even though he was on the goddamn base closure commission when he was SD's senator) has FAILED YET AGAIN. That's right, SD, you're God-fearing, abortion hating senator, who said being from the president's party would help save Ellsworth has FUCKED UP YET AGAIN. Good luck finding new jobs out there, SD residents. And to those of you that work(ED) on the base and voted for Thune - FUCK YOURSELVES. To those of you that work(ED) on the base and realized you had a good thing...I'm sincerely sorry, and wish you the best of luck finding employment. Try not to have it relate to anything John Thune has a hand in.

UPDATE 10:15 AM
John Thune, Professional Dick-Licker

Among the major closures is Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, home to 29 B-1B bombers, half the nation's fleet of the aircraft, and the state's second largest employer. That would deal a potential political setback to Republican freshman Sen. John Thune, who had claimed he could protect the base if elected during his campaign to defeat former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle.
