Poor Rumsfeld. It appears that the no-armor-because-of-physics and other assorted excuses have rubbed a few people the wrong way:
SCHWARZKOPF: The humvee was never considered an armored vehicle to begin with. So the system they’ve come up with is a jerry-rigged system which really doesn’t give you much protection when you’re going against being blown from a bump, a mine on a side of a road, or something of that sort.
But they deserve every bit of protection that we can give them. Absolutely. And I was very, very disappointed–let me put it stronger, I was angry about the words of the secretary of defense when he laid it all on the Army. I mean, as if he as the secretary of defense didn’t have anything to do with the Army, if the Army was over there doing it themselves screwing up.
Cue another Bush statement on what a great job the Secretary of Defense is doing.
Fuck Stormin’ Norman. He cast his lot with Rummy and the like when he endorsed the tie-wearing chimp for a second term. He knew *exactly* what this maladministration was all about – and if he didn’t, he had no business opening his fucking mouth in public. His “concern” is a day late and a dollar short.
