This is unconscienable. Just beyond belief. I believe I've heard
families were collecting the money themselves to buy their boys the gear
(bullet proof vests or whatever it was). Unbelieveable. Send them into
harm's way without the protective gear that is available.

The one thing that has infuriated me more than anything is the armored

private
contractor of Bush's choice. However, that contractor (no it is not
Halliburton) cannot build them and have them ready for another 5-7
YEARS!
Too bad, they won't use or buy the ones that are already built and ready
to
go. They want this contractor to get the job! Support our troops my
ass!
Pelosi was having a fit about this -- I think this was on the news
(very,
very briefly in Sept or October) I mean I saw it just once! And of
course
more on the blogs.
