WASHINGTON, (KUNA): Gates’ budget to rebalance US defense posture & ‘backdoor taxes to hit middle class’ story taken down. US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Tuesday that the defense budget for 2011 reflects the administration’s goal to rebalance America’s defense posture in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Gates affirmed before Congress that the base budget request reflects the Pentagon’s major institutional priorities which are “reaffirming and strengthening the nation’s commitment to care for the all-volunteer force, rebalancing America’s defense posture by emphasizing capabilities needed to prevail in current conflicts while enhancing capabilities that may be needed in the future and continuing the department’s commitment to reform how it does business.”
His remarks came in a testimony before the Senate armed services committee along with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen and Under Secretary of Defense Robert Hale to discuss defense authorization request for the year 2011, the Quadrennial defense review and the ballistic missile defense review.
