did they not go after Al Gore in 2000 because of the readiness of the military?

"It's happening just about to all the units now," said Lawrence Korb, who oversaw military manpower and logistics as assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan administration. "No unit is completely combat ready."


Is this what Rumsfeld was talking about when he said you go with the military you have, not the one you want?

"Army officials say the two brigades will be as ready as any others that deploy to Iraq" Yet none of them are ready, so the sickening truth is this, they are all just as prepared as the other divisions.

Support the troops, give tax breaks to the have and the have mores.
