Now, there you go, muddling a completely valid argument posited in your first post.
The federal budget works in two years cycles, he was working off of Clinton's budget...so you're saying you have the inside scoop on Bush's plans two years in advance?

No need to tip your hat, just do some reading.

In Defense of Reason - Donald Rumsfeld requests military budget increase - Brief Article - Editorial
Los Angeles Business Journal, July 23, 2001
AEROSPACE and defense executives from Long Beach to Lancaster have found much to be optimistic about with the ascendancy of George W. Bush and an administration that has promised no less than a major overhaul and upgrade of the U.S. military.
Following through on Bush's campaign promises, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld earlier this month asked for an additional $18.4 billion in defense spending in 2002, raising the total estimated budget by 10 percent to nearly $330 billion, or a whopping $33 billion more than this year's outlay.
