The presser is still going on, but here’s Defense Secretary Bob Gates’ statement about what defense programs he’s cutting, halting and continuing. Big news: theater-based missile defense will continue, but there won’t be an increase in ground-based missile defense capabilities; the F-22 program is *done *after the current 187 planes; and the Army’s Future Combat Systems vehicle-modernization program is hereby cancelled. Much more later.
