No mention of the status of our conflict in Iraq. Nor of the lack of planning on how to proceed once the mission was accomplished. Nothing about equipment that should have been available but wasn't.

Nothing about too few troops. Nothing about any of the substantive issues. Just a few guys with big egos who'd been offended by another guy with a big ego.

Come to think of it, doesn't stop Bush either. br> -- David Brown /p> p> It's interesting to see how many people have broken ranks in both the military and state departments.
