Default Pentagon Seeks Authority to Train and Equip Foreign Militaries

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates urged Congress on Tuesday to grant the Pentagon permanent authority to train and equip foreign militaries, a task previously administered by the State Department, and to raise the annual budget for the effort to $750 million, a 250 percent increase.

Mr. Gates said that rapidly building up the armed forces of friendly nations to combat terrorism within their borders was “a vital and enduring military requirement” — and one that should be managed by the Defense Department.

But Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who testified with Mr. Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, expressed full support for plans to make the Defense Department the lead agency for what is known as the Global Train and Equip Program, which emphasizes rapid assistance.

could be a cute way to act like there not in Iraq. Or the future N.A.U Army. I never liked the idea of foreign soldiers on our soil.

Hey maybe they can give arms to groups who have killed our troops, like the sunni in Iraq. Suddenly they were given old friend status and we're pouring the guns in for them. Bush is stupid and so are his advisors. The never-ending war will go on and we'll show the world how to do it.
