Do you mean that wheeled combat vehicle that was supposed to be part of the 96-hour deployable brigades?
Good post, btw.
Bill Clinton and the individuals who served in his Administration are nothing short of a corrupt and traitorous disgrace. Bush was left with an economy and fraudulent dot-com stock orgy in freefall, a domestic and foreign intelligence infrastructure in malevolant neglect, a devestating betrayal of vital national security technology, property and intelligence to Chinese and Russian enemies, cynical corruption of our immigration controls, ill-intended last minute Executive Orders singularly designed to sabotauge, obstruct and marginalize the new POTUS. Clinton is a despicable traitor amd mobster. Nixon was a boy scout compared to this guy.
Bush is putting it back together, piece by piece, priority by priority in a cool, methodical and disciplined manner. It had to be the Pentagon, CIA and FBI first. Getting nominal control of a stolen Senate. Conducting a war against terror and its sponsors. Fortifying the security of our homeland. Loudly proclaiming our soverign, American prerogative and negating the slide into a global cesspool the Clinton scum embraced.
Bush has better people around him than did Reagan. They are a team with clear objectives and open input. Bush is a more effective manager of his people and processes than was Reagan. W is better for our security and prospects at this juncture than Reagan would have been. He's more focused, disciplined and decisive. And, unlike his father ... he's taking names now and if he survives the next election, payback WILL be a bitch to those who have taken advantage of his commitment to be apolitical and non-confrontational domestically in a time of war and national peril.
He's the right guy at the right time, as were Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy and Reagan. We are historically lucky the voters of south Florida are dumb as dirt. Gore would stil be messing around with U.N. resolutions and blue beret rent-a-cops standing mindlessly in Kabul. And the terrorists would have hit us again.
