Bush announced not one, not two, but *seventeen* recess appointments of incompetents, political hacks, and party contributors to important government positions, after the Senate, whose job it is to ensure that these jobs don't go to incompetents, political hacks, and party contributors, refused to approve them on the grounds that they were incompetent for the jobs.

A secret Pentagon study has found that at least 80 percent of the marines who have been killed in Iraq from wounds to their upper body could have survived if they had extra body armor.
