Another Sign of Successful Planning in Iraq

Is this big news? Or just part of the pattern?

Our commander on the ground (Richard Sanchez) needed more help and wrote that he "could not continue to support sustained combat operations with [supply] rates this low." Twice postponed shipments of body armor? Lack of parts for tanks and helicopters? So, Bremer wanted more troops and did not get them, Sanchez wanted parts he did not have. Sounds great. Luckily the Iraqis greeted us with blown kisses, thrown flowers and open arms due to their joy of celebrating freedom.

FUBAR.
