Oh, I don't know - after all The Shrub backed off and cut Bin Laden some
slack to go after Saddam. Why? Nobody knows.

During 'Nam, LBJ then Slippery Dick diverted all the $$$ from defense R&D
and new procurement into ammo and bombs for their war. As a result the USSR
had better tanks and aircraft than our boys, who were still flying late 50s
designs. Funny, old "soft on defense" Carter re-started the R&D that
eventually gave the elder Bush tha ability to bitch slap Saddam into
submission in the first gulf war. Y'all may have heard how our sweet young
girls are swatting top terrorist leaders, like the dude who did the Cole,
from a nice safe console using UAV and missile technology began under a
liberal democrat?

But the Shrub everybody thinks is a friend of the military is acting just
like LBJ - delaying critical military R&D to pay for another war purported
to save people who don't want salvation. So, we have top military
scientists and engineers looking for work in private industry, never again
to return to DOD *if* and when the second village idiot from Texas goes home
and some 'soft on defense' Democrat refunds the programs. From that
viewpoint The Shrub is Bin Laden's right hand man.
