Clinton cut Defense to the point that taming two small countries has stretched our military. How low do you suggest we go? Do you speak Chinese? It might be a good idea to learn the language of your new masters now. <g> Here's what his critics said in 1999... Mr. Clinton, having cut welfare spending by $55 billion over six years in 1996, is giving defense an $124 billion spending increase. The surplus which was to have been targeted for education, Social Security, Medicare, and for the poor will be used to fight U.S. provoked "terrorism." What would the defense department do without the "rogue states," and "Islamic terrorists" to keep the pork barrel full? What won't Mr. Clinton do to save himself? twf.org Al

"When 21% of the world population is better armed than the rest of the world combined who is going to stop them from world domination?" They've got a very long way to go before they could challenge the US. Our defense spending exceeds the rest of the world combined, and dwarfs that of any single country.

Its too bad that Robert Reich found it necessary to slum with Coulter. Socialist Robert Reich provides the conservative balance on Air America. And what's Coulter? If I were on the right, I would consider her a disgrace and an embarrassment. There are few who are more offensive than her. Clinton cut Defense to the point that taming two small countries has stretched our military. How low do you suggest we go? Do you speak Chinese? It might be a good idea to learn the language of your new masters now. <g> Masters? Sorry, Peter, that's not funny even for a second. ted
