Clinton Blamed For Military Woes

Talking Points Memo | Thompson: U.S. must rebuild military: "The U.S. must rebuild its military to fight global terrorism because leaders 'took a holiday' in the 1990s after the end of the Cold War, undeclared presidential candidate Fred Thompson told war veterans Tuesday..."

Really? ching!ching! Weren't you a Senator then, Fred? I don't recall nor can I find any impassioned cries to build the military up to, say, Vietnam levels from you.

it would seem to be a better idea for old fred to seek more peace dividends.

Right-o. Remember the peace dividend? But then the "world changed"; yeah, right. What could we have done the money we spent in Iraq?
