Matching actions and words

This GAO report brings home once more that in a hell of a lot of ways we don't do as we say. This report reminds us that the Defense Department's Quadrennial Review calls for us to be ready to respond to and mitigate the effects of WMD attacks here and abroad. In fact, DOD has doubled its investment in chemical and biological defenses since 2001 and has plans to spend even more money.

The problem is that, despite these investments, we still don't have the people and equipment to get the job done. What are we waiting for?
