Can someone get this man a clue?

Rummy gets grilled in Kuwait by his own troops. Armor? Your truck will blow up anyway. More soldiers? Hell, that’s up to the officers in the field. Pay the troops on time? Huh?

From the Washington Post. Puts yesterday’s news in perspective. So does Jay Bookman in the AJC.

The one question that seemed to give Rumsfeld pause came from a lieutenant colonel who said that many of the soldiers in his unit are having trouble receiving all the pay due them, causing problems for their families back home who are being pestered by collection agencies.
"Can someone here get the details of the unit he's talking about?" Rumsfeld asked. "That's just not right.’”

Yer tellin’ me!
