232 strategic bombers;

I'm surprised by this. What type of bomber?

500 ICBMs with 1,950 warheads;

Russia has been cutting these too. Bush and Putin both want further cutbacks.

These are the American military forces that have disappeared since the 1992 election of Bill Clinton and Al Gore

Why the dig at Clinton/Gore? We had a Republican Senate, Republican House, and Republican Secretary of Defense during much of this period.

many question why the war started slow...some question why the number of daily sorties is so much lower than in the gulf war...well i have an answer. we lost the combat capability that we had!

Iraq was a "target rich" environment. We had six months to prepare, and land-based planes right across the border for a fast turn-around.
