Re: "...The fact that we are playing catch-up now only underscores the fact that defense was neglected during the Clinton years."

>>> Question: who are we 'catching up' to?

>>> Our defense budget under Clinton was already more than those of the next 17 largest national defense budgets in the world combined.

>>> al Qaeda is a very real threat, but I doubt they are worried very much about our $trillion plus Star Wars program... it's not expected to be very effective against Rider trucks or crop dusters.
