Description | WASHINGTON — Sen. Norm Coleman said Thursday that he is "deeply troubled" about whether the Pentagon has done enough to provide armored vehicles to troops in Iraq, and that the buck stops with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
"I'm deeply troubled by what's happening with the Defense Department," Coleman, R-Minn., said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press. "I have concerns about Rumsfeld's leadership."
The company providing the vehicles says it could make more of the armored vehicles, contradicting Rumsfeld's recent assertion that the Pentagon was acquiring the vehicles as quickly as possible.
Coleman's comments came a day after the state's other senator, Democrat Mark Dayton, wrote to President Bush asking him to investigate the matter. Dayton called on Bush to ask for the resignations of anyone found responsible for failing to supply the vehicles. |
