These guys have been watching too many episodes of 24.

Just take a look at their credentials: Harold Brown was secretary of defense from 1977 to 1981 under President Jimmy Carter.

You know he stands on the side of weakness.

James Schlesinger was secretary of defense from 1973 to 1975 under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.

Hardly a ringing endorsement.
