January 05, 2012 WASHINGTON (AP) Looking beyond the wars he
inherited, President Barack Obama on Thursday launched a reshaping and
shrinking of the military. He vowed to preserve U.S. pre-eminence even as
the Army and Marine Corps shed troops and the administration considers
reducing its arsenal of nuclear weapons.
The changes won't come without risk, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said. But he
called it acceptable and, because of budget restraints, inevitable. In a presentation at the
Pentagon, Obama said the U.S. is "turning a page" after having killed Osama bin Laden,
withdrawn troops from Iraq and begun to wind down the war in Afghanistan. He
outlined a vision for the future that some Republican lawmakers quickly dubbed wrong-
headed.
"Our military will be leaner, but the world must know the United States is going to

maintain our military superiority," Obama said with Panetta and the Joint Chiefs of
Staff chairman, Gen. Martin Dempsey, at his side.
In a presidential election year the strategy gives Obama a rhetorical tool to defend his
Pentagon budget-cutting choices. Republican contenders for the White House already
have attacked him on national security issues including missile defense, Iran and
planned reductions in ground forces.
Obama unveiled the results of an eight-month defense strategy review that is intended
to guide decisions on cutting hundreds of billions from planned Pentagon spending over
the coming decade. The eight-page document contained no details about how broad
concepts for reshaping the military such as focusing more on Asia and less on Europe
will translate into troop or weapons cuts.
Those details will be included in the 2013 defense budget to be submitted to Congress
next month. In about every major war or defense speech Obama hits themes intended
to resonate with American voters mainly, that the United States is turning a page

from two wars, and that any nation-building will focus on improving the United States,
not strategic allies abroad.
The economy is more likely to determine Obama's re-election fate than national
security. T o keep his promises to shrink the deficit and to prove he is serious about
fiscal management to voters wary of enormous government spending, Obama must
show the oft-protected Pentagon is not exempt.
The political danger, though, is that his opponents will use any slashing of spending to
paint the president as weak on security. Both Panetta and Dempsey said they anticipate
heavy criticism of their new strategy, which was begun last spring by then-Defense
Secretary Robert Gates after Obama called for defense spending cuts. The Pentagon
now faces at least $487 billion in cuts in planned defense spending over 10 years.
