Earlier today [Wednesday], AP military writer Robert Burns reported that "[r]ushed by President Bush's decision to reinforce Baghdad with thousands more U.S. troops, two Army combat brigades are skipping their usual session at the Army's premier training range in California and instead are making final preparations at their home bases."
According to Burns, some Congress members are wondering if the "Army is cutting corners in preparing soldiers for combat, since they are forgoing training in a desert setting that was designed specially to prepare them for the challenges of Iraq."...
"Well," [Spokesbimbo Tony] Snow suggested, "but they can get desert training elsewhere, like in Iraq."
(Raw Story)
This is the kind of thing that happens in the early stages of a war when getting troops to the front at any cost is the paramount concern - not four freaking years in. The DOOFUS' adventure in Iraq has now lasted longer than the US involvement in WWII lasted. And they're still so shorthanded and disorganized they don't have time to train the troops?
Impeachment is too good for these guys. Lock them up.
