Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–January 23, 2012. Today, on the eve of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, the Center for American Progress released “Obama’s Leaner National Security Strategy Got the Job Done in 2011,” a column on the post-Iraq security strategy that favors targeted and effective threat elimination over lengthy and expensive engagements, and “Defense in the Age of Austerity,” an issue brief on how this rebalancing can lead to reductions in the U.S. defense budget that can then be reinvested in the American economy.
