Guess what?

THE PRESS ALREADY KNOWS!!!

They've had inbred and embeds since day one. They've seen more than YOU.

Rumsfield opened the floor. The question was righteous and unclassified and been a topic of discussion for about a year and a half now. No secrets; no new news.

I think Rumsfeld was a bit emabarrased or at least caught off guard and that is what bothers you more than anything else!

Really?

How do you come up with that deduction when he starts off the reply saying he'd just been discussing the issue before coming out to take questions?! That demonstrates he was

a) aware of the issue

and

b) fully prepared to address it which he proceeded to do in a lengthy, thoughtful and detailed answer.

I fail to detect "embarrasment" except the media's mischaracterization of his answer and there is zero evidence he was "caught off guard".

What bothers me is the obvious lack of patriotism and loyalty displayed by most members of the media. They continue to do everything they possibly can to undermine America's military efforts.

I realize that the story about insufficient armor on Humvees has been previously reported, but for the reservist to ask a question on the subject in front of a biased media is naive at best. The news media is not the friend it once was. This type of reporting would not have been allowed during World War Two, and is a direct by-product of the 1960s anti-American media.
