The Army wants to spend it. The procurement bs that the lefties put in place might be ok in peace time, but not war time. They fight every step that will help Bush in this current war.
After 'Nam the Rep's slowly got filtered out of power. Carter is the most obvious. Not so obvious was Frank Church and his Church Commitee that started the casturation of the CIA. The college educated boomers becoming Dem's was a major turning point in the Dem party. Boomers now control the country in one way or the other. "Make love, not war" is the left's current position. There is more case officers in the NYC FBI than the CIA has in the whole world. The Dem's current intellengicia wants to model an election with a "war" basis, only different than Bush's mode, in order to have a win. The only wrench in their soup is the policy of premption. They haven't addressed that yet.
bottom line, the pre-'Nam Dem party is no more. Big hugs everyone.
