I have read numerous articles about this since before the war, and have heard numerous soldiers, congressmen and Senators comment on it, as has Rumsfeld in many pressers, and Bush in the debates.

The articles and discussions were on the means, the engineering, logistics, materials, ect.

Of course, Kerry used it to pretend that Bush and Rumsfeld would oddly and deliberately not provide it.

Did you not know about this until now?

You should read up about it.

Naw, I think he's still trying to figure out if Lincoln was really assassinated or not.

Hey, instead of being a smarty pants... why don't you answer his question. Also it does matter if you served in Uniform or not... It goes a lot to understanding the mindset of those soldiers there.

When my son was a soldier he said to me......Mom, don't ever ever call your congressman about something going on in this army. It will take about 24 hrs. before they haul me in there to answer for YOU. And it won't be nice!

I refuse to believe that the Pres. or Rumfeld want our soldiers to die, or that they don't care.

You know what, you hit the nail on the head. This is the implication by the MSM and why I am so mad. Who doesn't want our troops to have everything they need ESPECIALLY the president and Rummy. My God we have the MSM counting the dead one by one just to hammer the president not because they give a damn about any of them. I hope your husband comes home safe and sound and thank him for me for everything he has done, I respect and appreciate his service for all of us.

General Patton: "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."

What are you using as proof that they cheered after the question was asked?

They refuse to recognize that this is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. And the media is so amoral they don't care if the lives of our boys (and girls) might be endangered. Nothing stops the pursuit of a "good" story.

If they will have armored vehicles, why did he say that they'd not have armour on vehicles to take up north with them?

Because some of the vehicles will not be armored.

I said years not three years I almost never criticize George Bush and I also deal with reality. Getting better armor and glass is doable, and I want it done even if it's just one unit that needs it. I am willing to put money and action where my mouth is when it comes to supporting the troops. I despise AP.

I also resent having to defend myself as an accused commie because I came down on the side of our TROOPS. I think some people are missing the fact that for all the reporter's prodding an AMERICAN SOLDIER is the one who asked this question of his Secretary of Defense. The soldier is an adult fighting man with free will. He didn't ask to withdraw from Iraq, he asked for some equipment to do his job.
