"It's essentially a matter of physics" What!?

So Rummy, after stating that he would be a point of stability in the Bush cabinent, went to Kuwait to speak to the troops. Little did he suspect that he would have his ass handed to him by some no-name Specialist in the US Army. Spc. Thomas Wilson asked Mr. Rumsfeld, "Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to up-armor our vehicles?"

To which, Rummy replied, "you have to go to war with the army you have." WHAT? Did I read that right? Did he just insult the troops? What a slap in the face! It was just like saying, "I wish we had an army of mutant cyborgs with superpowers, but we don't so we have to go to war with the army we have."

Then he followed that nugget of joy up with, "[The vehicles] have been brought from all over the world, from wherever they're not needed...It's essentially a matter of physics, not a matter of money.'' Again, I ask you what qualifies this freak to be Secretary of Defense? The Physics? No, no, no! Physics is reponsible for the apple falling from the tree and bonging you on the head. Physics is responsible for moving the wheels on those vehicles. Physics is NOT resposible for keeping the appropriate equipment to the troops, war profiteers are.

Now don't give me that gibberish about how democrats voted against funding for the war. They voted for funding which would repeal the tax breaks for the upper 1%. You know that, so stop trying to tell me that democrats and liberals don't love this country or the troops. While we're on it, does anyone know how much of the profits for those magnetic yellow ribbons go to the troops? If even one penny of the profits goes into the proprieter's pocket, then it's war profiteering and should be summarily discouraged. If the USO was selling them, then by God I'd buy one and put it on my car because I know where that cash is going, directly back to the troops!

While we're at it, there are oodles of Hummers on the roads of the US that could be over in Iraq. That's my challenge to all these people who insist on driving these gas guzzlers for show! If you care SO much about the troops, then ship that bad boy over to Iraq. You've got the cash, so be sure to buy the armor and send it over to them as well.
