Work in Progress

Military chiefs are telling Congress that troops are still underequipped, and that recruitment and retention are becoming a problem. Imagine that. So supportive is the administration of our men and women in arms that less than half the military's fleet of Humvees have armor installed. After two years. WTF? Meanwhile, Halliburton can't account for a third of its property in Iraq. It's like a comedy of errors, except it ain't funny.

Look on the bright side: military shortages may put a crimp in plans to invade Iran, France, Massachusetts etc. Oh but wait--I live in the reality-based world.

Damn.
