Liberals.........Best you can do is throw "think tank" around like its anything more than hypocritical, self absorbed and self proclaimed "experts" that sit around wasting time and money using "HINDSIGHT" to nit pick apart and second guess the job someone else had to perform WITHOUT all the answers laid out for them in advance.

And just like a bunch of liberals you won't use the very same hindsight to SEE that 8 years of Clinton and billions of dollars in defense cuts later is WHY our troops are so poorly equipped. Thats right it's CLINTON's defense cuts that have our soldiers riding around in un-armoured hum-vees that were slated for replacement/updating until Clinton decided that they were "good enough" and weren't needed. Now Bush is expected to rebuild in 4 years what Billy spent 8 years tearing down.

This is why the Dems lost. Spent too much time BLAMING BUSH for EVERYTHING. Flat out refused to accept responsibility for ANYTHING. Stop blaming Bush for 8 years of Terror attacks that Clinton let go unanswered and military cuts that left us barely able to pay our soldiers much less replace the outdated equipment they are now FORCED to use in combat.

There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with what Rumsfeld said.........

"As you know, you go to war with the army you have," Rumsfeld said. "They're not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time"

As usual liberals can't handle the fukin TRUTH. He didn't skate or duck the question. Thats as honest and straight-forward as it gets and yet you whiny bastards are still crying and most of all BLAMING.

This isn't the first time we as a nation went to war with what we "have" and not what we would like to have had. It's not that hard to understand what Rumsfeld was referring to. We sure as hell didn't WAIT until the atom bomb was perfected to enter WWII. Even after waiting 2 years after Hitlers initial aggression, we feverishly tried to rebuild a very weak and poorly equipped military, BEFORE we went to war, that was suffering severly from the effects of the great depression, when we were forced into the war by an unprovoked terror attack that killed thousands.

This is where I BLAME Bush. Unlike in WWII, Bush failed and still has yet to organize both our own industry and our allies industries to provide these hum-vees and other things our soldiers are lacking. There is no excuse that he hasn't set aside at least a couple of auto plants in the US alone to produce NOTHING but this needed military equipment. This goes for any other type of industry both local and abroad that can supply our troops with the tools they need to perform their jobs with the highest degree of safety possible.

We've got Auto plants closing down and laying off thousands, why hasn't Bush put these people and plants to work building Hum-vees? We would be keeping these people employed, supplying our troops with this much needed equipment and at the same time be putting some of those billions of war dollars back into revitalising our own economy.

Clinton may be why we initially went to war with out-dated eqiupment and poor intelligence gathering capabilities, but if Bush doesn't soon deliver the equipment and fresh troops needed then he alone bears the responsibility for our men being ill equipped and dying needlessly because of it. We should be delivering new armoured Hum-vees and everything else our guys need by now instead of just starting to talk about how we are going to supply them.
