Bush AWOL on troop armor

Two years into the Iraq war, and the Humvee armor program is still incomplete. Two and a half years into World War II, and we were a few months away from D-Day. I guess that tax cuts must be more important to the White House. Sad, sad. Donald Lee RomeWest Hartford, April 25, 2005

I have read over and over and over again, how our troops have to improvise with protective armor while simultaneously reading about the massive amount of money being paid out to the likes of Haliburton and friends. Quite frankly, the laundry bill for one month for these so-called contractors would purchase a shitload of armor for "our troops." But, as usual, Dubya and the Dubyettes are more concerned with the lining of their pockets ... not the lining of the Humvees. GO FIGURE.
