Last week Fox reported that the president was going to cut defense 10%.

Today Congressional quarterly says that instead he will be increasing defense 8%.

Somebody has it wrong unless we are talking about cutting the rate of growth. Economic problems or no I wouldn’t be too fired up to cut war spending. Economic cycles come and go, but you can’t unlose a war.

UPDATE: Max Boot sees the -10
