MRAP Shipments to Iraq Delayed, Congress Reports

I read today that the Pentagon $23 billion program to rush thousands of armoured vehicles to Iraq is bogged down by production delays and the demands of the military services, members of Congress said. At a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee, lawmakers said a Navy Warfare Center in Charleston S.C. being used to install radio jammers and communication systems on the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPs) is not organized to do the work. This is an outrage.....! With all the skilled labor that Ford, GM, and Chrysler has layed off there should be no shortage of anything our troops need outragous.....!
