If you do not have the industrial capacity, you have to invest in order to obtain it. But procurement is not in the business of creating contractors, and even if a pre- existing contractor is willing to expand, it may take time to build plant. The point is, I do not know the particulars, and neither does anyone else around here, so there is a leap to judgment. The testimony of the contractors is not clear enough to know how it relates to what Rumsfeld said: how long did it take to get up to 400 vehicles a day, for example?

"Maybe Pink-clad Fairies are in charge of procurement?"

Are we resorting to homophobe attacks on neocon now?

>> But you need to want it. Need to have recognized problems.

I think the problem is in the problem recognition. If you had expected candies and sweets and a cakewalk, then you would not not think of extra armament for the troops...btw, nevermind getting the official higher grade hummers, why can't they just ship metal sheets have the soldiers improvise the solution instead of having them go through the scrap yards?
