See Gomer, that's better...Now you're giving your reasons, not Obama's. I disagree he is either worthless or a hack. He knows people are sick of military personal dying for a lost cause. Personally, I don't think Bush plans anything. He seems an off-the-cuff operator to me...
Freudian slip???
Actaully two people thought enough of it to reply to it...you forgot about me
Actually, the admin isn't allowed to move funding from one program to another without notifying Congress. They violated that law the first time when they moved funds from Afghanistan to Iraq in the run-up to the War... not that the repub rubber stamp congress ever called him on it.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
I play with the federal government's money for a living. It is illegal to spend money in a manner inconsistent with the authorization/appropriations acts that the money came from. But much of the was is paid for out of the operations and maintenance appropriations, which is the same money that units use in garrison during peacetime. So you can spend less stateside and spend more in theater without breaking the law.
Now, just because it's legal doesn't make it the smartest thing to do, but it is legal.
Liberty is the greatest measure of equality.
