Has anyone else been struck by the statements in the House about ships that never get built, about planes that never get built, about all the normal things a government should do, and purchase and replenish and replace, and that Steve and the crew have announced - over and over and over in some cases - but WE STILL HAVE NOTHING. They take our money. They make an extraordinary number of announcements and have an extraordinary number of fauxto-ops and yet WE STILL HAVE NOTHIN...G.
It struck me when Diane Finley stood lying in the HoC in response to questions about the PBO report on the ships that don't as yet exist.
She of course said the PBO was wrong. When has the PBO been wrong?
Even if the details of the procurement were slightly different, the buying power of that money would not be substantially different.
So - where's all the promised equipment? We have no ships. We have no helicopters. We have no coast guard vessels. We have a few refits of old equipment. Are they deliberately making us reliant on the US for air and sea by using the tried and true Steve method of one incremental step at a time? They have pushed the numbers to future potential governments so.... where's the money they've announced over and over?
