This is no way to run a railroad.

Support the surge! Don't criticize it until it's had a chance to work! A resolution opposing the surge would damage troop morale and embolden The Enemy!

Oh, by the way? You know the really good Humvee armor? The Frag Kit 5 that has been extremely effective against IEDs (even those Iran-provided EFPs)?

Yeah, we don't have enough for everyone. But we should have it to you by summer!

The Army is working to fill a shortfall in Iraq of thousands of advanced Humvee armor kits designed to reduce U.S. troop deaths from roadside bombs -- including a rising threat from particularly lethal weapons linked to Iran and known as "explosively formed penetrators" (EFP) -- that are now inflicting 70 percent of the American casualties in the country, according to U.S. military and civilian officials.

U.S. Army units in Iraq and Afghanistan lack more than 4,000 of the latest Humvee armor kit, known as FRAG Kit 5, according to U.S. officials. The Army has ramped up production of the armor, giving priority to troops in Baghdad, but the upgrade is not scheduled to be completed until this summer, Army officials said.
