The President hasn't requested one dime of his $81.9 billion supplemental for the veterans' healthcare system.
Promoting efficiency and preventing fraud in defense acquisitions will obviously be a high priority.

Doesn't this send a signal to the Iraqi people and to the American people that the United States intends to have a large permanent presence there?
