What is it now 3 Nunn McCurdy breeches and counting.

The decision to invade Iraq justified by phony interpretations of intel data is one of the more recent examples. The intel folks have LOTS of capability - far more than they have politicians who want to act on reality. Recently, Nancy Pelosi was free to accuse them of breaking the law - and they had to sit there and take it! Why buy them sophisticated systems if the Congress is going to invent their own reality anyway?

Military technological advancement is coming to a screeching halt for at least the next 3.5 years.
