I agree, thanks for the thoughtful posts.
No prob.
Americanwolf I saw the clip more than once last night and there were some who cheered for the soldier asking the question.
U.S. Troops Question Rumsfeld on Iraq
(AP Video)
You nailed it!
And you would have the media only report good news, so much that the public can remain blind to the horrible truths of war.
So trying to 'prove' their bloviations of 'quagmire' and 'another Vietnam' is relaying the truth?
You can ignore the facts if you prefer but those of us who really care and seek accurate information know that this "problem" is being addressed as rapidly as possible. And that EVEN WHEN FULLY ADDRESSED there will still be deaths from these devices.
But don't let reality interrupt your love affair with the schemes of the RATmedia.
Obviously "ntyerson" works for the LMSM, and only he/she knows the "truth".
That the evil, sinister, no-nothing, uncaring, Rumsfeld and Bush have been letting soldiers die for...............(insert conspiracy).
And their secret is now out, (even tho we have been reading about this since before the war)
Don't forget that NO ONE knew anything before the town hall meeting, as with the prison "tortures".
The sainted MSM broke the scandal.
Thanks for your naval service.
I'm sure that you other petty officers, chiefs and officers worked around shortages on every cruise and got the job done somehow.
That was done in WWII, the Korean War and the rest of the Cold War, Desert Storm, the First part of this Iraqi war and now this part.
A friend of mine was qualified as a Marine Sniper with the old WWI guns that the Marines had. He called his Dad, another marine to buy him a Remington bolt action w/a Leopold Scope and ammo. His Dad bought the gear and drove to San Diego to give it to him before he went to Nam for the first of 3 tours. This was not the first time something like this happened nor was it the last.
Wrong.
As some of us discerned yesterday, the question was made the story and nobody in the media (and people like you, evidently) gave a damn about the answer.
The fact that a reporter urged a soldier to ask the question and the MSM swarmed in afterwards to start the spin only buttresses our (we observant and perceptive types) point.
Not all. That was a cheap shot, and you know it.
I understand that from what i am reading here... Granted reading from transcript is not that best for source... I was just trying to get clarification regarding this...Once again my suspicion is that they were cheering the fact that the question was asked in regards to when the would be getting goods like armor comming in.. that would not suprise me, once again I don't think the soldiers were cheering it for the fact that it would look rummy look bad, but the fact that someone asked where the "Steel" was.

Some in the media wouldn't know how to report on the truth if their life depended on it ...
The love to just look for all the bad news
BUMP FOR LATER
LOL!
Probably.
We've had media lurkers and posters before.
You don't get it. NOTHING was brought to Rummy's attention. This has been worked on for a yr and has been largely solved. 75% of the vehicles are ARMOURED. And after 100% are there will still be deaths because of the IEDs.
This was a total set up and it is obvious the intention of the RATmedia which set it up. Using a clueless soldier to carry out its agenda is also typical.
No I definitely do not think that they were cheering to make rummy look bad. IMHO they were cheering because someone asked the question that was of interest to some of them.
Did you click on the video link?
