Riiiight, when you thought Casey was confirming your point, it was damning; when it turns out he confirms mine, it's meaninglessly political. Clearly I can't "win" this one, but one last point:
Follow:
If 2004 reports said it was stretched to the breaking point;
And it is worse now than it was in 2004;
And in the 2006 reports, the military is still "stretched to the breaking point" but not described as "broken", ever;
That would tell you the 2004 "stretched to the breaking point" reports were a bunch of bullshit; and
The same media is driving reports in 2006, and the similarity to 2004 is that they are both election years.
