Hey hey HEY, this is important! Quote by US Army commander:

"We were still in a fight," said the commander of the unit that was first to arrive in the area, in an interview with CBS News Correspondent David Martin.

"Our focus was killing bad guys," he continued, adding that he would have needed four times as many troops to search and secure all the ammo dumps his troops came across during the push into Iraq.

As quoted on CBSnews article about press conference debacle today. Notice, if you will, how he said he needed MORE TROOPS. MORE TROOPS. Sound familiar?

1. Wonder what Chickenhawk Rudy has to say about THAT?

Wonder if any reporter will have the guts to ask him?

2. Maybe that's what Rudy was trying to say, it was the fault of the troops

that weren't there for losing the explosives that weren't there because they did or didn't search hard enough after the Russians moved them before they didn't get there because they weren't there and because of that, the explosives that weren't there are also not there.

4. Yeah! That must've been it

because that couldn't have been right unless it was right since the other reason wasn't right until it was right, being wrong and all!

3. Poor planning anyone ?
