Save for the fact that it was Rumsfeld who said this, not Bush or bin Laden: Much of the criticism stemmed from Rumsfeld's visit to Kuwait this month. When a National Guardsman asked why the Army had not provided sufficient armor for his unit's vehicles, Rumsfeld said "You go to war with the Army you have, not the Army you might want or wish to have."
