Rumsfeld - "You go to war with the Army you have,"
What an idiotic thing to say. He's lost it IMHO and should be removed by Bush immediately. Only Bush Administration true believers can defend a stupid statement like that. These guys are dying and Rumsfeld can't control his baby boy temper!

Hey great impression of a Kerry-backing screaming Liberal.

Do you do any other impressions?

I don't think it was an idiotic statement at all....simply the truth.

When military action is required you cant wait until everything is just the way you want it, you have to go with what you've got, which is exactly what we did.

The low casualty rate we have incurred is a testament to our troops having the best training and equipment in the world. Could there be better armor on the vehicles and more kevlar for for the troops? Of course, and we are in the process of providing this equipment. It would be great if we could just clap our hands and all this stuff would magically appear but it doesn't work that way.

The questions that were put to Rummy by the soldier's were legitimate and I think he answered them honestly.

I have no doubt we will do everything in our power to supply our troops with whatever they need to succeed and I have no doubt the men and women serving know that.
