Tarver-lots snipped.

geee, a quick look and he wanted to do things like slash $ from the B-2, lots
of defense 'slashing' of $3 billion(1% or less of the budget) right after the
Soviet Union went away. Also get rid of things like coastal mine
countermeasures for the US, other things that seem to make sense. Also missile
defense which was Reagan's and now GWBs folly(cruise missile defense-nope!).

Tell me how the B-2 made any difference in GW II? It was publicity 100%...
