Reply #53: rummy's question [View All]

[manly]

Rumsfeld made a remark about a question asked of him. He said that didn't sound like a question planted by the media, referring of course to the question asked last week about why there weren't sufficient armored vehicles available to the troops.That question MAY have been planted by the press. My question is, so what? The question is valid, no matter who asked it. The big problem with that question was Rummy's answer, which incorporated a lie, as usual.
The liar said he and the defense department were doing everything possible to provide the troops with the materiel they needed. However, the manufacturers of the armor for the Humvees contradicted him, saying in one case that they've been waiting six months for purchase orders from DoD, and in another case that they could be up and in production as soon as asked, but they weren't asked.
If I could, I'd have Rumsfeld drawn and quartered, the lying bastard.
