Maybe it’s nuanced

I’m bemused by this post on the Democratic Party’s blog. It criticizes President Bush’s statement that “There is nothing complicated about supporting our troops in combat” with this weird rejoinder:

Now of course, there's a sense in which this is true, and that's what Bush was appealing to. It is a simple matter to be proud of our troops and to hope that no harm befalls them. Every American feels that way.
But delivering support to our troops in combat is a very complicated matter. The logistics of moving troops, getting them supplies, maintaining communications, and much more is mind-bogglingly complex.
Huh? Later, Halliburton is mentioned – ‘nuf said.
