Ted, I hope Clinton spent none of the $124 billion. You guys ought to straighten out your message. Al brought up the $124B to counter the charge that Clinton was "gutting the military." I'm just pointing out that the $124B, or whatever fraction that was actually spent, didn't do anything but toss a bone to the Lewinsky-chasing dogs. Seems like Al agrees with me but can't get himself to admit it. Do you still not get the absurdity of our anal focus on defense? The absurdity is how we're spending our money, not the focus on defense by itself. I think F-22 stealth fighters are cool, but we really ought to scale back on that and focus on personnel, special forces, and top-down intelligence reform. Our troops in Iraq don't have enough armor? OK then, let's cancel a few contracts with some defense contractors and use the money for more armor. Tenchusatsu P.S. - Yes, I am being overly idealistic when I talk about canceling contracts.
