The US Army May be at a Breaking Point.

 info made accessible by OpEdNews.com

That's the conclusion of  a report written for the Army.

 Scathing New Army War College Report Broadly Criticizes Bush admin on   handling of the war on terrorism, accusing it of taking a detour into an "unnecessary" war in Iraq and pursuing an "unrealistic" quest against terrorism that may lead to U.S. wars with states that pose no serious threat. Why is this on page 12 of the Washington Post? It should be Page one!
