Bush says soldier's complaint "being addressed"
Email to a Friend Printer Friendly Version  

WHITE HOUSE The president says the complaints from a soldier who confronted Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld yesterday "are being addressed."

The soldier -- whose unit was preparing to head into Iraq -- asked Rumsfeld at a meeting in Kuwait why Army vehicles don't have the right armor.

The president says he sympathizes. During a White House photo-op, he told reporters that if he were a soldier overseas, wanting to defend his country, he'd want to ask "the same question."

Bush says U-S troops deserve the best possible equipment.

The soldier -- specialist Thomas Wilson -- asked Rumsfeld why he and others had to dig through landfills to find scrap metal and glass to protect their Humvees.
