Body armor or body ODOR? Something's funky
Occams Hatchet at My Left Wing brings us some interesting information:

<snip>
George Bush's personal Secret Service bodyguards don't wear the same body armor that our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan wear.

In fact, our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan aren't even allowed to wear the same body armor worn by George Bush's personal Secret Service bodyguards.

The Pentagon has decreed that the body armor worn by George Bush's personal Secret Service bodyguards isn't able to pass the Pentagon's tests, and therefore isn't the best body armor available - even though the Pentagon hasn't fully tested that body armor yet.

Which can mean only one thing: either President Bush's bodyguards don't have the best available body armor, or the Pentagon is lying.

In the meantime, soldiers are dying.


lots more...
