"Passed"? To what are you referring?
It is nice to see the ABB crowd display a true act of bi-partisanship.
It's nice to see that the extremists on the Left and the "purist" conservatives can join together to trash our military and Sec. of Defense.
It is lovely to witness their defense of a soldier collaborating with with an enemy (reporter) that seeks to destroy our efforts in the WOT.
Fact: War is never perfect. Troops have a right to expect perfection, but practical reality suggests this is never attainable.
Fact: They have been apprised of the problem and are seeking to correct it. I have no reason to believe otherwise.
Fact: Rumsfeld, our military and the administration do not prefer to sip champagne while troops die needlessly.
ANYONE advancing the theory that they don't give a damn about our troops' lives isn't worthy of the respect of a reply.
I have no problem with the question itself, I have a problem with the troop collaborating with a reporter. I also have a problem with the ABB crowd whose sole goal on FR seems to be to destroy the administration at whatever cost.
The 2 years.
