change in strategy to basically a one-war strategy and a win so called hold that will be controversial. the question will become if we were to be engaged in a conflict, let s say with iran, which i hope doesn t take place but possibly, what does that mean about north korea? are we going to try to, quote, just hold north korea? so there are lots of issues from a geo strategic level. the question s going to be raised, what does that mean for our partners in the gulf area if iran decides to take belligerent action and aggressive action against a u.s. air craft carrier? does that mean that s going to be the one major war and everything else is secondary? maybe we won t be able to win the others. so lots of questions have to be raised. i think this will be a broad statement about the fact that we re shrinking the size of our military, and as we re shrinking the size of the military we have to do less with less. that s going to raise issues with our allies to be sure and
