Waking up today is a challenge, both by conducting a meeting with some editors and reading this: Time really does it.
I went on a small bit of research to supply my next statement to TIME with the right numbers, and after wading through dozens of vote-fraud accusations. Substantiating these claims won’t be easy, but it’s necessary. Take a look around for claims that Bill Clinton stole his election.
Anyway, TIME’s person of the year award needed to go to “The Enduring American Citizen.” Or the enduring 48%.
Moving right along, does this sound familiar:
Q Sir, my unit, the 2nd Brigade — (inaudible) — Cav, we have five out of the six red zones in this country. And with the up- armored humvees, the new — (off mike) — humvees they’re bringing over with the — (inaudible) — those doors are not as good as the ones on the up-armored humvees — (inaudible). We even lost quite — we lost some soldiers due to them, and we’re trying to make a change — (inaudible). The question is, are we going to get more up-armored humvees?
And the reponse:
GEN. MYERS
“…I think it’s around 220, 225 per month. We’ve gathered them from all other services that had them except for a few we held back for a nuclear security role back in the United States. The rest of them shipped over here. We’re trying to get them to you as fast as we can…”
But, were you thinking about December… or 7 months ago?
Additionally, “it’s a matter of how fast can we build these things and get them over here.” Some companies still wait. A local Arizona company, ArmorWorks, reported they could also easily double production – it wasn’t a matter of logistics, it was waiting for a phone call.
My challenge for this post was trying to not sound bitter.
