Why was General Schwarzkopf buried only yesterday?
He died at the end of December?
Did they have to wait for all the dignitaries to be able to come?

His family and friends joined Kuwaiti officials, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Vice President Dick Cheney, gray clad cadets and a detail of New Jersey state troopers for a memorial service in the academy's gothic chapel Thursday afternoon. His remains were buried afterward at the cemetery on the grounds of the storied military institution.
