Pentagon "running on empty"

The Defense Department officially notified Congress yesterday that the department will begin the furlough process for civilian employees of the Army, the Marine Corps, and combatant commands.

The furloughs will become necessary if Congress does not pass a global war on terror spending bill.

The finger of blame needs to be pointed at those reponsible, primarily Congressman David Obey (D-Wis.) and Senator Robert Byrd (R-W.Wa.)
