"CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq — The armored carrier has a grim black slash across its side, burn marks on the door and a web of cracks along the window.
Like most of the Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles in Anbar province, this one has been hit as many as three times by enemy fire and bomb blasts. Yet, to date, no American troops have died while riding in one."
They need new ones. But the HATE BUSH AT ALL COST party, sees no problem in denying them the funds they need.
And PLEASE DO NOT give me any rhetoric about it being BUSH'S FAULT because he'll veto. They knew he'd veto. Because he should. They hate the troops and do not care if they're killed. This shows it so clearly it's like looking through the clearest glass imaginable. How much time and money have they wasted on this worthless bill?
I grow more sickened everyday.
Didn't Harry "Shady" Reid just say he'd listen to the commanders?
"As the Pentagon scrapes to find the money to run the war in the midst of the budget impasse, the Pentagon says there is not enough cash to buy as many as commanders say they need.
"We can build what we can get the funds to build. It's strictly an issue of money," Gen. Peter Schoomaker, former Army chief of staff, told a Senate committee last month."
Fuckers.
Will the New FCC Meddle More or Less?
