Comments on: Red Tape Blamed For Iraq Equipment Void

18,000 Life-Saving Heavy-Duty Armored Vehicles Needed — But Will It Take Two Years To Get Them?

This is exactly why the "fired" Generals on the ground objected to putting more troops in Harms Way and why they are dubious about "partnering" with the IRAQI troops - This was probably an inside job!
The Military Brass want to hide these events to try and distort the realities of this Civil War in IRAQ. US TROOPS are viewed as "occupiers" no longer liberators... and thus, just as much a problem as the insurgents to the ultimate stability of their country!
These are IRAQI citizens people and whether you want to label them "yankess" or "rebs" neither of them are Americans and it is their destiny to decide the fate of their country!
You read the reports about IRANIANS traing Shia Militia and in IRAN and the other 100 Muslim Nations you read about the US Training Shia Security Forces - PLEASE TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE!!!
This is the type of deceit that Bush has been shielding from America for over four years in order to keep US Support behind Keeping our Soldiers in HARMS WAY - with Cheerleaders like Cheney saying on CNN - that we are making enormous progress in IRAQ - STATE of DENIAL!

How Tragically SAD!

Hey Con Plan,

The U.S. Navy was in the Persian Gulf way back, before you were born, in the 70's...

We didn't win then either, Regan just bought his way out of it with the IRAN CONTRA SCANDAL!!!

On a lighter note folks, the equipment is ordered, your taxes are paying for it, but it isn't delivered. Soldiers who shouldn't even be there in the first place are at even increased risk, and our politicians (both sides) voted to continue this treason. When you do contact your representatives, let them know that doing something about this corruption isn't only about losing your vote, but about losing your country, and that you intend to hold them all personally responsible. Don't forget, we do have the right to make citizens' arrest...

If the soldiers treated the Iraqi people with a little more respect and dignity, they wouldn't have to worry so much about the Iraqi people blowing them up.

Quote G.G.:

Another trick from the Hat of Magician Walking-LiarBush. He thinks this will give victory to the troops. What a ridiculous strategy! The resistance hasn't been abating and will never until all our men are outta Iraq.

dukakislives makes a good point. You can contact your Member of Congress and Senator at the links below. In case you're not sure of the names they make it really easy to get to exactly the right people. It could save lives among the military and might help save workers jobs at American companies. At the rate they've thrown money away in this war, it's worth the extra money to save our brave men and women serving in Iraq. Screw the magnetic "Support the Troops Ribbons" made in China. Write and do something to help save our troops lives, that's supporting them!

No, the only guard activities he attended were the cocktail parties.

Besides, he was already too smart for that duty. He was smart enough to have figured out that Kent State was Superman's college under his secret identity and he'd have to be a real idiot to go up against Superman.
