@AllenWest on sequestration and @BarackObama understanding of the Military [AUDIO]
Rep. Allen West (R-FL) to Brian on President Obama’s comments on horses and bayonets:
The president does not understand recent military actions. In the beginning of the Afghan campaign in 2001, we had Special Forces guys mounted on horses with the Northern Alliance. The Army and the Marines still use bayonets. We are about to take our Navy down to 230 war ships when 70-75% of the mass of the earth is water and China is building up their naval capabilities.

Rep. Allen West (R-FL) on President Obama’s comments on the sequestration:
Sequestration came from the Obama administration and he needs to take ownership of it. Now that the President says it is not going to happen, it will make it a whole lot easier for us when we return back to legislative session. Before we left I had a piece of legislation that said we need to accept what we have done in the House to stave off sequestration or ask the president to bring up his plan by October the 15th, which has since past. At least I know now that the President agrees with me and that sequestration should not happen.
