I call BS on that story. More crap from Drudge. This issue has been big in the Phoenix area and one of the radio stations down here has been putting together "care packages" for the troops in Iraq. It has been mostly toiletries and items the troops can't get enough of (towels, socks, gaunch, etc.) but every now and then a strange item comes up. Odd things to come up in the past has been combat boots and GPS units. Monday's item was body armor. The troops in Iraq have not been outfitted properly and the people know it.
That this question was asked of Rumsfeld was not shocking. That anyone would have the balls to actually set up a smoke screen to change the focus of the issue (Karl Rove's hand is all over this one) is dispicable. It is turning into a shell game yet again. Step right up and find the issue! Is it an "ill-equiped military to deal with the dangers in Iraq", or is it the "left wing media planting questions with the impressionable troops"? Drudge has made it obvious which way the neo-cons are looking at it.
