Patraeus opinion
is largely influenced by domestic political considerations. I think the Bush Administration would like to hand any incoming Democratic administration a broken military. That way they can spend the next 4 years comfortably criticizing the Dems. You can bet they'd like nothing better than putting the Dems in a position where it is necessary to reinstitute the draft.
Should the Republicans win the next election, they can use the noise-n-spin machine to confuse the issue and distract our attention to new and scary menaces.
