<<Who controlled congress while the military was being gutted under the clintons? >> Congress doesn't count. The President submits a DOD budget and congress either oks it or cuts it. They can't add $xxx and mandate a larger defense force.

You always stand ready to forgive and excuse Clinton for his errors and for leaving us nearly defenseless, placing all the blame on Congress. If Clinton as Commander In Chief was not responsible for the military why do you insist W is? I participated in a conference call today. We decided NYC and the State of NY are not doing their share to protect and defend The Constitution of The United States. You are not providing your share of recruits. Therefore we are no longer going to participate in defending you. You have two choices. Join the rest of us in the war on terror and bring something more than bs and rhetoric or go it alone. uw
