I believe the pentagon said they DIDN'T want it They wanted it, then they got a new president and Sec of Defense and they followed along and don't want it. Only in rare cases do you get open "revolt" against the civilian leadership on something like this. It's not unknown (for example see en.wikipedia.org but its atypical. I think our budget this year for defense is $636 Billion. If that ain't carte blanche then it's pretty darn close. If that's carte blanche than what's the stimulus/bailout programs, or entitlements?
