Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said he will offer amendments to the defense appropriations bill working its way through Congress, to take the funding issue out of the hands of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and give control to military unit commanders in the field.

“Rumsfeld is violating the law,” Dodd said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It’s been sitting on the books for over a year. They were opposed to it. It was insulting to them. I’m sorry that’s how they felt.”

In response to that Osprey purchase order, how about if the military shells out to get the troops the armor that they were supposed to have going in?

Yes, this is a bit concerning. What does this have to do with our other weapon systems purchases - are you against that?

I see how they are somewhat related, but "in response"? Your a lib - are you sure you support the military - most libs dislike the good guys ( the good guys = US Military ).
