Drudge is reporting that Rumsfeld was *SET UP* at that Q&A by a reporter who planted a question with a soldier. Does the liberal frustration know no boundaries? Once again, the libs are red-faced. Just like on Nov 2.
And Drudge's "proof" is a email purported to be from a reporter from the Chattanooga Times Free Press, yet there is no proof whatsoever on Drudge's website that the email actually came from this person, or that the person even exists. T_J, it is becoming more and more obvious with each passing day that you have no shame whatsoever. What a sad way to live.
It's not that they want the troops to die, but it is that they don't place the highest priority on troops lives. If they did we wouldn't be in the war, and the troops would have the armor they need.
Anyone else notice a disturbing pattern? 1. Mainstream media comes out with a slam on the Administration 2. Bloggers uncover the lies that the MSM puts out 3. Drudge debunks the MSM lies Bush's guard service --- Al-Qaqaa --- Rumsfeld Q&A It never ends... even *after* they lost the election....
Drudge is reporting that the 2300 soldiers who were assembeled to see Rumsfeld were all planted with Applause signs by a reporter/sit-com warm up comic from Little Rock Arkansas.
Damn Cohen and his lunatic liberal beliefs. If anyone was more liberal than Cohen they would be Satan. Wouldn't the reporter have had to plant multiple questions with multiple soldiers since there were more than one? Also, did the reporter drug them in order to force them to say somethign they did not want to say?
Anyone ever notice a pattern. The media uncovers something. Drudge tries to debunk it. He is rarely correct. Drudge has besmudged the reputation of an innocent intern and a presidential candidate by claiming they had an affair. Later Drudge found out he was wrong, and made some type of apology/excuse. But it seems like he hasn't been right since Monica's dress. As far as Bush's guard service, Rather used some fishy documents, nothing else has been debunked about it. Al-Qaqaa has been shown to be correctly reported. Rumsfeld's Q&A has no evidence come out showing it to be fraudulent. Certainly the huge applause by the thousands of service men at the assembly wasn't phony. Then TJ is shown to be factually lacking in his arguments, he disappears from the thread. I like the pattern and wouldn't want it to change, but it is a pattern none-the-less.
Drudge just reported that all of that did happen. He said he saw a BBS containing credible information from a person high up in the education field.
that damn liberal media must be paying off thousands of Americans as well... from the Soliders for the Truth and retired Col. David H. Hackworth http://www.sftt.org/ the likes of t_j just want to paint a pretty picture and hope reality catches up...the smart ones look at reality and try to change it to meet our pretty picture...
rimmy, liberal scientists like myself are given tons of stinking liberal money to make liberal uber-drugs. in my lab we just perfected one that could make T_J do "lord of the dance" for 72 hours straight if we just get one microlitre in his daily quart of Pepto. so of course the reporter could drug a soldier to ask a liberal question. P'shaw! i used some of those when i was five on the family dog. we also have a new one that could make you turn to a life of watching professional wrestling, so be careful what you say. m'kay? it can be bound to sugar molecules in pez, and you would never know it was coming!
Welcome to the thread, Sizzle Chest. From your reduced posting levels, I gather that your promotion is keeping you too busy?
for the record, I was demoted. But I am finding a meditative satisfaction, even trancendence, in cleaning floors. Still, it is occasionally nice to see a gazelle with a broken leg assailed by a healthy pride of lions.
Armor Holdings Could Boost Humvee Armor Output 22% Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Armor Holdings Inc., the sole supplier of protective plates for the Humvee military vehicles used in Iraq, said it could increase output by as much as 22 percent per month with no investment and is awaiting an order from the Army. U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said yesterday the Army was working as fast as it can and supply is dictated by ``a matter of physics, not a matter of money.'' Jacksonville, Florida-based Armor Holdings last month told the Army it could add armor to as many as 550 of the trucks a month, up from 450 vehicles now, Robert Mecredy, president of the company's aerospace and defense group said in a telephone interview today. ``We're prepared to build 50 to 100 vehicles more per month,'' Mecredy said in the interview. ``I've told the customer that and I stand ready to do that.'' Insurgent attacks on the vehicles with homemade bombs and rocket-propelled grenades are accounting for as much as half of the more than 1,000 U.S. deaths and 9,000 U.S. wounded in Iraq, according to Congressional estimates. President George W. Bush said concerns raised by soldiers in questions to Rumsfeld yesterday in Kuwait are being addressed,'' Bush said in response to a reporter's question. ``We expect our troops to have the best possible equipment. If I were a soldier overseas wanting to defend my country I'd want to ask the Secretary of Defense the same question, and that is are we getting the best'' equipment, he said. ``They deserve the best.'' `Hillbilly Armor' U.S. troops preparing for deployment to Iraq told Rumsfeld yesterday they are salvaging armor from landfills to install ``hillbilly armor'' on their Humvees. Rumsfeld replied that ``you have to go to war with the Army you have.'' Armor Holdings has already boosted output from 60 vehicles a month a year ago, said Mecredy, 58. As a result of the increased output, Armor Holdings has cut the price for the armor its supplies for the trucks to $58,000 per vehicle, from $72,000 per vehicle a year ago, Mecredy said. Shares of Armor Holdings rose 66 cents, or 1.6 percent in New York Stock Exchange composite trading at 11:34 a.m. When he was asked about current production yesterday, Rumsfeld wasn't sure of the exact figure saying ``it's something like 400 a month are being done.'' ``It's a matter of production and capability of doing it,'' Rumsfeld, 72, said. Tesia William, a spokeswoman for the Army Materiel Command, which handles the armored Humvee program, had no immediate comment on the status of orders. Production of the armor needs to be coordinated with output of the actual trucks by AM General LLC of South Bend, Indiana, Mecredy said. AM General spokesman Lee Woodward also said that truck output could also be increased. ``If they ordered more trucks, we'd build more trucks,'' Woodward said. ``We're not close to capacity. It might take some time to ramp up but we can do it.'' Woodward declined to provide exact details on production capacity. The main reason there isn't enough armor is because the military has underestimated its own needs, said Meghan Keck, spokeswoman for Senator Evan Bayh, an Indiana Democrat. Bayh wrote a letter to Rumsfeld in October calling for a more accurate estimate of Humvee needs. ``If the Army would be up front about the number of Humvees needed, the companies would be able to set their production accordingly to meet the need,'' Keck said in a phone interview. http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000006&sid=aMGdbQCSwiRg&refer=home

Fighting a war on a budget. That is pure genius. Oh Al Queda attacked us? What should we do first? I got it raise taxes so we can fight them!
