a. I repeat...yet again...that this reflects a real issue.

b. There are real problems with supply lines, and armor is only part of it. I could give you a long list of items that are straining production capacity. This is part of war, and it's being dealt with as best as possible.

c. Interesting that some of this media coverage is coming from some of the same people who complain we are spending too much on the war.

d. I wouldn't be so ticked about it if I thought for one second that the people writing things like this or this had the slightest interest in actually helping our troops win in Iraq, rather than just ripping the Bush administration a new one.

I guess it would be best to just let the feeding frenzy wear itself out again.
