You sort of answered your own question. They're too busy padding the pockets of friends to BOTHER about keeping soldiers safe. Ever think the body armor is probably not made by one of those lobbies that supported the Bush campaign, hence the refusal to sign off on the bill for the armor? It's better for Bush to continue to replace vehicles (and soldiers) that get destroyed than retro-fit vehicles with armor plating from a company that didn't play well during his campaign. Or was that just too straight forward to consider? You never work for a business who had prefered vendors and would rather replace a whole system than pay another vendor to repair a broken one? There is a reason why there is billions unaccounted for in Iraq you know.

Sorry, fat fingers when typing fast. I think I've posted the name enough around here to prove I can spell the name correctly. Jesus 5X5, you never make a typo before when typing fast?
