Pentagon cuts armored vehicles due in Iraq in 2007
No, it's the fact that it takes many months to build them, equip them and ship them (on ships, mostly -- they are too big for most planes -- which adds another month or more to delivery. So none of the ones that have just been contracted for, and will be built between now and November, will meet the January delivery date.
Keep in mind that these are brand-new vehicles for us, and we are just now gearing up to produce them. There ain't no damned conspiracy to deny our troops what they need, just a slow-headed, built-in government/military learning disability, no matter who is in charge. Our troops will have all they need of them and then some, even if it's too late and utterly useless in the next conflict.
