And of course the president's DOD has nothing to do with deciding how the funds allocated by Congress are spent ...

Lets see...who controlls the purse strings? Last time I checked it was Congress....hmmmm.....I dont remember seeing all the latest and greatest flowing to the military when the Dems were in power (not that the Repubs are any better) and now that they have a majority I dont see them making any larger allocations for R&D for the military equipment that could be even better than what we have now....*hmph* I guess the next war will be fought with what they have on hand snd not what they could have had. I think one of those light sabres would be pretty cool for soldiers to carry...
No. The buck should stop with the commander in chief. Not with the Democrats in congress. Not with the Department of Defense. Bush is the one who ultimately pushed the button. As I said before, he charged in way too soon without sufficient forethought about preparedness or consequences. It would not have taken too much time and trouble for him to network with the defense department and ask if they were ready.
They should have had more than enough appropriate vehicles for the terrain more than adequately armored for what they would likely face.
Oh well. Then I guess that we should have run it even more cheaply and just supply them with Yugos.

Then it is up to Bush to get the figures needed and present them to congress long before calling for war. Hey guys, look. Before you authorize war and I send our troops to war, it looks like we are going to need so many more well armored vehicles. We will need so much more fuel than we have ready and so much more other stuff. This war will cost so much money. Otherwise we will probably have so many injuries and so many unnecessary deaths due to lack of appropriate armor.
Hopefully, before we think about going to war, we will be more prepared. There will be much more proof absolute proof that war is warranted. If and when we declare another war there will be much more caution and much more forethought. The leader will think before sending out soldiers away. He will make sure that hospitals are up to par and that we have enough armor.
I bet your walls are lined with pictures of flag draped caskets.
Too bad our public building aren't done this way. Maybe people would realize that our military are dying. But not, just go out and spend to stimulate the economy.
When the real affects of wars are deliberately hidden like this, the people in charge are worried and the people are dumbed down.
Nothing to look at here people, just keep moving on.
You have no idea how it works. do you!
No point is discussing this with you because you don't even care enough to find out....you just want to bash Bush at the expense of the military. Why am I not surprised? I bet your walls are lined with pictures of flag draped caskets.
