Tell me again what Army he plans on using to invade Iran?

George Bush's incompetence has run the US military into the ground, he's wasted all of our budget surplus that Bill Clinton left him, and now Bush wants to start yet another war. With what? Spitballs?

The Army expects to be short 2,500 captains and majors this year, with the number rising to 3,300 in 2007. These officers are the Army's seed corn, the people who 10 years from now should be leading battalions and brigades.

"We're ruining an Army that took us 30 years to build," Republican maverick Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., told a group of reporters at a recent conference....

The Army denies the shortage is a crisis, but its top civilian, Francis J. Harvey, acknowledged concerns, telling the Washington Post: "We are worried."
