Hahahahaha. Don't think so. If anyone's blocking anything, it's probably the people in the Pentagon themselves.
They blocked an Anti-RPG system made in Israel so that Raytheon could continue working on a system of it's own that will not be complete for several more years.

Why don't you go ahead and find out what most the money that has been given to the President for this war has been spent on. Do you think 100 billion would buy those vehicles? Well than maybe since that is pretty much the amount of money that has been wasted by Haliburton it could have been set up to pay for these vehicles. By the way...don't recall wasn't that Bush that sent the troops in with pretty much no protection in the first place?

You see, there was this spending bill with more money in it than Bush asked for. There was plenty of money for armored vehicles but Bush vetoed the bill and so it is he not the Democrats that is standing in the way of getting a new generation of armored vehicles to Iraq.

They are playing games to try to gain seats in the next election they could care a less about our troops being in a war. The way the democrats have voted on spending the last thirty years if they had their way our troops would not have much of anything new they certainly wouldn't have m1 abrams tanks because they were against those back in the day.

They are not. The veto-miester Bush is the one who said NO, not the Democrats, they passed funding. Bush is the hold out.

The more important question would be
why do we need our troops in Iraq?

The funding was there, on the president's desk. He refused to sign it.

GWB is the one that rejected the funding, has he switched parties?
