Why isn't the American public OUTRAGED that the troops for this WAR of CHOICE were ILL-EQUIPPED?
You KNOW where all the WAR LOOT went, don't you?
"Marines faulted for vehicle delays
WASHINGTON - The Marine Corps left troops in Iraq vulnerable to deadly roadside bombs by failing to answer an urgent request from battlefield commanders for blast-resistant vehicles, according to an internal Pentagon investigation obtained by the Associated Press....
The Marine Corps and the other military branches were aware of the threat from mines and roadside bombs and of the commercial availability of MRAPs well before US troops invaded Iraq in 2003, the report said. Yet nothing was done to acquire the vehicles....
And Bush waxes so emotional about the troops!!! AmeriKa, if THIS doesn't convince you that the war-mongers only see NUMBERS and FORCE GRIDS, etc, WHAT WILL? The administration and Pentagon brass DON'T GIVE A SHIT about the TROOPS!!!!
