Would Fox have run with this if it had been from a Democrat?

National Journal Editor Kristin Roberts: Why did the committee choose to go against the advice of the generals?

Republican Rep. Paul Ryan: We don’t think the generals are giving us their true advice. We don’t think the generals believe that their budget is really the right budget. I believe that the president’s budget by virtue of the fact that when he released his budget number of about $500 billion, the number was announced at the same time they announced the beginning of their strategy review of the Pentagon’s budget. So what we get from the Pentagon is more of a budget driven strategy, not a strategy driven budget.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, CJCS responds: There’s a difference between having someone say they don’t believe what you said versus … calling us, collectively, liars. My response is: I stand by my testimony. This was very much a strategy-driven process to which we mapped the budget.
