OCU,

I heard GWB was the person to cut back on these planes. By the way they don't drop water but a fire retardent.

Aren't these the same 'conservatives' that complain Obama spends too much...

Clo,

That's not what Matt Drudge is reporting.

The other day he ran an item explaining that it was Obama's fault. The basis for this claim is that sometime NEXT YEAR, as a result of Obama 'gutting' the Pentagon's budget, 65 C-130's, which COULD be used as tankers to make aerial firefighting air drops of water. After these 65 30+ year-old aircraft are removed from service there will be just over 300 still flying with the U.S. Air Force and Air Force Reserves. But somehow, in Matt Drudge's head, these 65 YET TO BE DECOMMISSIONED aircraft were already playing a role in causing the wildfires in New Mexico and Colorado to be larger and more destructive then they would have been IF Obama would have NOT asked that NEXT YEARS budget not include money to operate these 65 planes. The article went on to explain that even if the wildfires were not an issue that the planes are going to be needed for the war that we will soon be fighting in our defense of Israel against Iran.
