Obama Orders NASA to Work With Muslim Countries (Yes, NASA and No, This Isn't From The Onion)...

From Weasel Zippers:

WASHINGTONNASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to “find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries” as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.

“In addition to the nations that most of you usually hear about when you think about the International Space Station, we now have expanded our efforts to reach out to non-traditional partners,” said Bolden, speaking to a lecture hall of young engineering students.

Specifically, he talked about connecting with countries that do not have an established space program and helping them conduct science missions. He mentioned new opportunities with Indonesia, including an educational program that examines global climate change.

Sure, how the hell else would we expect them to effectively bomb us in our homes?
NASA has been first and foremost a military operation since it's inception.
It will be interesting to see how this outrageous bit of stupidity plays out.
I don't know who first labeled the precedent 'Man-Child'(I heard it on Rush Limbaugh), but It's perfect.

As with the military, "I won" cuts assets and ties the hands of our soldiers behind their back and then blindfolds them.

With NASA, "I won" promises increases in budget and removes every padlock from every window and door for opportunists to walk away with decades of intellectual property enabling the enemy to undermine our national security efforts.

And Congress is too busy fiddling with "I won's" 'change' funding these treasonous ideals.
