Bush frivolous? Irresponsible? A sociopath?

Yep. This was the putz who spent $40 million on a lavish corporate sponsored inauguration while our troops didn't have sufficient armor. He and his drunk twins were partying the night away in glitzy splendor while our troops were swerving to avoid roadside bombs in tincan Humvees.

Now it turns out they STILL don't have the best body armor and that the armored Humvees STILL aren't up to snuff. The insurgents are still a step ahead.

How does that happen that a ragtag bunch of organizations or individuals can stay a step ahead of the world's only military superpower? How?

What does that say when an actual country decides to go up against us? Feel safer?
