First of all, I don't know if there will be any Republican attempts to circumvent the defense cuts.
wtf? Is this another lie or did you not read your original link from The Hill?
Before Obama took to the podium, congressional Republicans already had issued statements vowing to cancel out the $600 billion in automatic cuts. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), Senate Armed Services Committee Ranking Member John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham all promised to craft plans to void those reductions.
What the hell happened to you on that other forum to make you turn into Iceman?
