A war by any other name ...

This country's secretary of defense, Ashton Carter, has called it "another road to nowhere"--his all too accurate description of the GOP's latest proposal to slash the country's defense budget, this time by some $18 billion. All that money is now slated to disappear somewhere in the Pentagon's deep pockets.

All this just when these funds are needed by our troops in Afghanistan, Syria and anywhere and everywhere else around the world where this country is over-committed and its efforts, like its will, under-financed.

The $18 billion is to go into that black hole this administration has named Overseas Contingency Operations because it adamantly refuses to call war war. Can't anybody in this outfit speak English?

Answer: Not so you'd notice.
