The Duck Slips on a Banana Peel

After soldiers applauded the Guardsman who posed the question of inadequate armament to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, he had the audacity to [essentially] tell the Guardsman to shove off, citing that we "...go to war with the army we have, not the army we wish to have..." and that 'simple physics' was the main cause of the problem... Not sure where physics comes into it, but he went on to cite how production is at a peak level and the required products simply can't be produced that fast. Fortunately, ArmorWorks of Tempe, AZ seems to have a suitable rebuttal for the wayward SoD. The company, which was granted a contract to make a certain amount of armor within a given timeframe, says that it could easily double production if the order is given. It seems somewhat odd to me that the Defense Department isn't pulling out all the stops to provide our troops with the supplies they need, especially in light of all the Shrub administration's support (HAHA!). Why don't our troops have the protection they need?
