I find it odd the lack of coverage on this:

US commander complained low supplies threatened combat readiness in Iraq.

If it were my country's troops that were being pounded by insurgents, I would be more than a tad upset to learn that the leader of my country has been claiming one thing while the generals in charge have been complaining of the lack of necessary supporting equipment to allow them to do the job more effectively and reduce the possibility of their deaths. Obviously what we heard about troops writing their families and requesting they send such things as boots, kevlar vests and night vision goggles, was far more pervasive than thought.
