#2 Michelle Malkin has some choice words on Hillary's wet-finger stance...

Ponting out what we read on the 8th, U.S. Soldiers Question Use of More Armor, heh.

As I said, she's mighty sloooow on the uptake...

#3 Hillary could champion new body armor for all along with a 20% pay raise in 2007 and they'd still flip her the bird. Stupid they ain't. She's toast.

#5 I'm still trying to figure how we got through WWII without body army and with all those unarmored Jeeps and trucks.

#6 Hush, Fred. You're interfering in the good Senator's spotlight. She's had to keep her lip zipped lo these many weeks; "No comment" on NSA surveillance and secret Euro prisons. Finally she has a meme she can feed to the moonbats and you wanna rain on her parade.

#7 Fred,
"I'm still trying to figure how we got through WWII ..."
Several hundred thousand dead. Of course 70 pound body armor might have made things even worse at Tarawa and Omaha.

#8 Max BS meter.

You know lady, if you wanted to reduce US sevice casualties you should have spoken up before Fallujha and recommended to place be leveled like St. Lo was in 1944. Damn civilian casualties. Did you? Piece of low level political grandstanding self centered positioning two bit hack.

#9 This is Hillary trying to stake out an anti-Bush position to attract the left wing in the primaries without engaging in actual anti-war rhetoric that will lose her the general. She's going to keep getting pushed farther and farther left by the party and here own gut desire to tear down the establishment '68.

No need to call Tel Aviv - there is some awesome stuff in the prototype stage right here in our own labs.

#11 If the troops lacked body armor, the body count would be MUCH higher. I can’t imagine that you could go into battle with one of those armor suits that eh XOD people wear or anything close to that. Still find it hard to believe any story of troops “lacking” body armor when they are deployed to Iraq. Of course certain exception will be made in the case of a Pvt Cassini and their ilk. While I am far far from knowing, I checked a few sites and could find any body armor that was any better than what I was issued. If there was something better I might invest in some if I was deploying to the sandbox. P.S. HILLARY CLINTON CAN GO TO HELL!

#12 I wonder what will happen to military recruitment and retention if-- God help us-- Hillary gets elected President in 2008.
