The terrorists must be just about to win now.

So, the Pentagon is finally realizing that, while money may grow on trees, the tree doesn't grow forever. The New York Times and Washington Post report today that Donald Rumsfeld & Co. are looking at ways to cut the military budget—a topic they hadn't even thought about since taking office four years ago—and that big-ticket weapons systems (including the Air Force's F-22 stealth fighter plane, a new Navy destroyer, and a futuristic Army combat vehicle) are not immune from the ax. As John Warner, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is quoted as saying, the Defense Department, while preserving "adequate funds" for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, must "bear its share of cuts necessary to help work down deficits."

That new fighter the terrorists are developing will now be unmatched by the US. Expect waves of terrorist fighters any day now.
