Pace: ‘Significant’ risk over potential third crisis.
CNN: Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Peter Pace has sent a classified report to Defense Secretary Robert Gates and to Congress that says the risk is now “significant” that the U.S. military would not be able to meet its obligations if a third world crisis were to break out. Pace’s declaration has triggered a requirement under the law “for Secretary Gates to come up with what they call a ‘mitigation plan’ - once the risk is ’significant’ the Secretary must report to Congress on what he’s doing about it.” Video HERE.
UPDATE: The AP has details:
The assessment…represents a worsening from a year ago, when that risk was rated as moderate.
The report is classified, but on Monday senior defense officials, speaking on condition on anonymity, confirmed the decline in overall military readiness. And a report that accompanied Pace’s review concluded that while the Pentagon is working to improve its warfighting abilities, it “may take several years to reduce risk to acceptable levels.”

Thanks a lot Ass Boil, handing out classified information again I see. Do you never tire of it?
This once again brings up the question of what does Classified mean? Apparently it means release to the public, and any and all potential enemies, the status of our military. Actual everyday information like "bin Laden determined to strike the U.S.", those are hidden and we need a Commission to find it. |

Republicans respect the sanctity of classified information, unlike Democrats.
Scooter Libby told me so. |

Well, maybe if we had rumsfeld conductiong the war there could be a 3rd front. Look at the invasion of Iraq. If there is, we will need the UN to take actions as well
I think the UN will act against Iran |

The 6 P's the Army drills into you. Oh wait neither Bush or Cheney served. Being AWOL to the National Guard does not count as service time.

Whaa?
Dumsfeld is the one who created the current mess, you fucking dipshit!
Why don't you do your part and enlist? You want a third front that will put our troops in MUCH more danger than the current 2 put together - it's only fair you put your Grimace looking ass on the front lines. |

Talk to your buddy General Pace. I did not hand out anything... he did. |
