10. maybe they can 'make a deal'
and use the material from all of the useless road hog hummers to turn into plating for the real Humvees that need it. Perhaps start with all the wrecked penile extensions that got totaled because ...oh, i dunno, the wheels fell off?

i still flip off those gas-guzzling behemoths everytime i spot one. :mad:

4. Grumpy Rummy can only be an ass unchallenged so long...
When so may troops die because they don't have enough armor to protect them--and that's EASILY remedied!:mad:

6. ABC reported tonight that the company making them could increase
production but they had not been asked to do so. They did not report that Rumsfeld had said otherwise though.

Unbelievable!

7. It's ultimately Bush's fault - He KEPT Herr Rumsfeld in his cabinet
If Rummy lied, so did the Dummy.
