The MIC is sitting back, still digesting the previous billions with a
smug, satisfied burp every now and then. It is also watching, waiting
and preparing its story for the next round of government handouts ...

"But look at the broken-down equipment ... you can't ask our brave
boys & girls to go to war in this stuff? How dare you anti-American
Democrats try to justify their deaths, their injuries for the simple
cause of saving money? No, as Mr.Bush has already demonstrated, the
best thing you can do for the country is to pass this budget bill as
soon as possible."

There will have been a good month of media coverage of junk-heaps like
that in the OP, of stories of how "good ol' American know-how" is just
about keeping the front-line troops mobile and how "our brave warriors"
are at greater risk due to the lack of modern equipment.

You think that this _isn't_ going to happen in January?
