"Fix it, send us the bill"

[BOSSHOG]

That's what my congressman, Gene Taylor (BIG D) Mississippi, senior member of the house armed services committee told the Pentagon about the lack of armored humvees in Iraq while appearing on Lou Dobbs show tonight. That's exactly what my congressman told the pentagon last year. Of course, my congressman is in the minority so fuck what he says. He also mentioned that rumsfeld should fix it or let someone else fix it. This from a democrat in probably the most backward state in the union. Gene Taylor might not be the liberals ideal representative but in South Mississipi he is a God Send.

1. What he says makes sense

and I can see where the concern about veterans would have to appeal to Joe Redneck, who has relatives in the Guard or is possibly in the Guard himself.

2. 400 BILLION for the Pentagon PLUS another 130 BILLION or more this year

so from at least 530 BILLION they couldnt find the money to provide the gear the troops needed?

CRIMINAL. The money went to cronies.
