Genious let's talk about the military one year ago today and today. Since the brunt of the battle was carried out by Navy Aircraft launched from Carriers let's look at that.

One year Ago 12 carrier battle groups active
72 strike aircraft per carrier
GPS and Laser Guided Bomb Capability
Primarily F/A-18's with a few F-14's

SInce then and throughout Bush's rule
Exactly the same, no changes

So explain what the difference is and what capability Bush added to make a weak machine good. He did squat, Clinton's Navy carried the battle and kicked butt and did not lose even one aircraft by accident or enemy fire and put bombs on precise targets. While you whined for eight years that he was running down readiness. You are fools are liars and deceitful and dispicable
