Morons At The Pentagon

Rumsfeld's Doctrine at the Pentagon is to have America able to fight a two-front war with rapidly deployed mobile troops. To that end the Pentagon is considering cutting 34,000 troops from the National Guard. This will save $ 32 billion in costs from 2007-2011. This will enable the development of the DDX destroyer,a new tactical fighter and other futuristic equipment to be afforded. Isn't Rummy familiar with Napolean and Hitler's experiences with two-front wars? What about the lesson of Iraq? After the "shock and awe" of technology there wasn't enough troops to secure the country.

The logo of the National Guard is "The Minuteman". The shift in Rummy's strategy replaces homeland security and disaster help with global empire-building. Mathmatics never changes. Some people just can add .
