From AP:
"Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to uparmor our vehicles?" Wilson asked. A big cheer arose from the approximately 2,300 soldiers in the cavernous hangar who assembled to see and hear the secretary of defense.
Rumsfeld hesitated and asked Wilson to repeat his question.
"We do not have proper armored vehicles to carry with us north," Wilson said after asking again.
Rummy's reply?
"You go to war with the Army you have."
No, that's ridiculous. You don't go to war with what yo have when it's a war of convenience. That's absurd. We had time to build our stocks, if needed. I hope the troops heard Rummy loud and clear. You voted for this guy, you own him.
