the same situation that obtained prior to the entry of the war with Iraq might, in some respects, lend itself to a repeat in the case of Syria and/or Iran.
Why has it taken nearly 2 years of fighting in Iraq before the Pentagon asked for armor for all of these supply vehicles?
I believe it was September 14, 2001, resolution might be used by the administration as a premise to attack Syria and/or Iran.
Promoting efficiency and preventing fraud in defense acquisitions will obviously be a high priority.
