No-o-o-o!... now it's time to REALLY be afraid!

The next threat met with... tactical nuclear weapons?

Perfect, just perfect!

Advice - again - to the eventual Democratic nominee: run on W's record.

From The Marine Corps Times:

Iraq war has ground forces stretched thin

If the U.S. were to face a new conventional threat, its military could not respond effectively without turning to air power, officials and analysts say.

That is the ultimate upshot of the war in Iraq: a response elsewhere would consist largely of U.S. fighters and bombers — even, perhaps, some degree of nuclear strike — because so many ground troops are tied up in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

How much do we spend on defense? I believe the latest projection for 2008 is $600Bn. ... But, we don't have the capability to respond to the next threat other than by using nukes!

What's wrong with this picture?

Please - out of Iraq, NOW!

Rebuild the military. Reconstitute the MEN - not the machines! We don't need any more high-tech weapons systems: we need the ability to respond to real threats (which - hint - do NOT include the Soviet Union!).

For $600Bn/yr we ought to be able to respond to real threats without using nukes. Am I missing something?

Stop the madness!
