Don't you tell me to knock it off. I've been here as long as you.

You know what got my attention during the conference? The LOUD ROARING CHEERS of the men who are risking their lives every day, while you and I sit at our computers.

That's when I perked up and listened to the old SOB and his weak and futile answers.

If you don't like my opoinions, just scroll. Or take a flying leap. Or whatever.

Rumsfeld has to go. A lot ofpeople in the admin and in the military brass know that. But they are afraid of his power.

And PravdABDNC wonders why it is in the Tarpits of Histoir?? The truth is so hard to hide by the press anymore. Hopefully this clown is on a plane back to his Ivory Tower!

Pray for W and Our Troops

Rumsfeld didn't cause this problem, I will admit it is his to fix now, but he is not the reason that Humvees are not armored. With 20/20 hindsight, these Humvees should have had different design criteria - but I believe on another thread, some says the initial plans for these vehicles goes back many years (before Clinton). And certainly nothing was done during the Clinton administration to up-armor them.

Why should Rumsfeld resign over this? Why reward the left for this setup?

"who are risking their lives every day, while you and I sit at our computers." My take is these guys are in a staging area and haven't even seen battle yet. They are also, I believe, National Guard and reserve troops vs reg armed forces and quite possibly this kid represents the 'whiner contingent' of those called up who never thought they would.
