"Our troops are stretched thin."

I missed something. What country in their right mind , during a war, would spread this information around? Can you explaine this new kind of strategy?

"He did not magiclly solve it overnight or over the past year."

Your right. He didn't solve eight years of neglect overnight.

This is 2002, not 1902. Everytime we deploy to some crappy 3rd world country to feed the starving or prop up somebody or to police somebody else, that chinks away at our military might and everybody in the world finds out about it.

If you read the newspapers and the web, you'll know we are spread thin, our forces are everywhere. It's not a strategy, it's called technology. Anything that happens anywhere in the world can be found out easily enough.

Nope, and unfortunately, it was estimated that for every year of neglect and cut-backs, it would take upto 2 years to get things back to the way they were :-( I for one am glad we have our nukes.
