FWB,
I could (and have) said the same thing about Bush. Having more enemies (and making new ones) than friends is also not in our national security interests either.

Rummy wanted to shrink the military as do everything with small fast forces. We need both the scalpel and the sledghammer.

And actually, Obama wants to increase the Army and Marines by 65 and 27K respectively, as well as replacing some of the older ships in the Navy. He does also want to review weapons programs.
