Nathan Freier, a senior fellow in the CSIS International Security Program, was quoted by Reuters, "Financial Crisis Unlikely to Impact Wars Immediately."
"There wouldn't be an appetite to cut back on the pursuit of an important objective to the United States in the name of near-term economic gain," said Lieutenant-Colonel Nathan Freier of the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank in Washington.
But he said spending cuts were likely later on, adding: "You will see downstream impacts on the defense budget on the areas of procurements, research and development, modernization."
