My guess is that the GOP does not want this hot potato on the table before November 3rd.

I think two things are going on in the Pentagon that cause this controversy. One - we are at war, and they don't think the troop shortage is long term. Two - the reorganization is going to free up more "tooth" from the "tail" and we will get more bang for our buck.

These are both arguable points, but I think the discussion at the puzzle palace on this subject is honest. The Admin could have got a higher authorization of troops if they had wanted it.
