CNN's Bash cites only opponents of Webb amendment on issue of "combat effectiveness"

SUMMARY: In reporting on Sen. Jim Webb's proposal to require that active-duty troops spend at least the same amount of time at home as the length of their previous tour of duty overseas, CNN's Dana Bash stated, "Defense Secretary Robert Gates warns it would actually make him extend tours in Iraq, break up military units, and reduce combat effectiveness." But Bash made no mention of military leaders who have stated that insufficient time at home also reduces overall combat readiness.
