We have ten Army divisions. Major elements of nine of them are tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have sent ceremonial honor guards into theater. We have sent troops in Korea and units used to train other soldiers. We are tearing our Army apart to support this war that shows no signs of ending, and we're going to pick more fights?

The AEI hack is delusional. The Bush legacy will be an exhausted, battered Army unable to cope with the real threats waiting in the wings. Nobody wants a draft, but we may well end up with no choice, sending unwilling, unprepared troops out against an enemy that we didn't count on.

This next Bush term will teach our country a lesson. I hope it is not fatal.
