Will Blue Dogs Look at DOD?

Rumors leaked out that the aerial refueling tanker and a planned long-range bomber might be on the Administration's chopping block. The Congress, which only yesterday acted concerned about the deficit, immediately began complaining.
But as the old bank robber story goes, he robbed banks because that's where the money was. So if members of Congress really want to make serious cuts that bring future budgets into line, they need to start where so much of the money is after Bush/Cheney--the Pentagon budget.
