or the third consecutive year, a classified Defense Department assessment has concluded there is a significant risk that the U.S. military could not respond quickly and fully to any new crisis, The Associated Press has learned.
The latest risk assessment, drawn up by Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, comes despite recent security gains in Iraq and plans for troop cuts there.
The assessment finds that the U.S. continues to face persistent terrorist threats, and the military is still stretched and strained from long and repeated tours to the warfront.

This should not come as a surprise, we have been engaged in a needless war for almost 9 years due to the Bush agenda. If a new threat where to arise would our military be able to handle it?
