The most unfortunate thing out of all of this, is that Bush had a friendly Congress for severals - years in which he could have increased the size of the military, particularly the Army. He blew that opportunity and now has a Congress that would not only allow the military to expand, but is trying to clamp down on the one we have.

In the House, but he had a weakling in the person of Bill Frist as Majority Leader in the Senate, he was awful.
