2. Tweety is pissed
Edited on Tue Feb-20-07 05:06 PM by malaise
He wants to know why everything is a surprise - the invasion, the number of injured troops. Refers to the Decider - Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Wants to know why Claire mentions tax breaks. She says it's relevant.
Tweety is Tweety - can't attack his Rethugs too much.

Add.

4. It is bullshit
and he knows it. He nailed it when he said that this administration has never worried about running up the deficit...so why haven't they taken care of these men?
THAT is the golden question.

10. The difference in healthcare is astounding

For the haves (in no way saying he didn't deserve the treatment...because he did...it is just the striking parallel)

And the have nots (who also deserved the best treatment money can buy)

Prayers to both families.:cry:

15. Because the men are not ceos & millionaires
they didn't even dream up the idea for Baby Einstein in their basement, all they did
was risk their life to preserve our freedom.

17. Now that they can't serve the DoD and Bush in battle, they become
a thorn in his side. Another broken poor person looking for a government "Entitlement." The neocons(compassionate conservatives)send a tank with the bottom blown out of it to the scrap yard and forget about it and they wish they could do the same thing with the dutiful soldiers who can't serve them any longer, because of their wounds. Bush brings back the dead soldiers in the dead of night like he's ashamed of their service and their sacrifice.

Chris needs to look at the Vietnam vets still living under our bridges. This story is not new!

the support they have earned.

18. Tweety did shows at Walter Reed
or, at the very least, segments at WR. Why didn't Tweets bother to look around and see the gaping holes in the ceilings? Why didn't Tweets notice the roaches or the mouse turds?

I love the ardor of a convert who could have done this kind of work himself, but instead wanted to present heart-warming stories about how hard WR works to help the injured recover.

19. I get the impression there are 2 Walter Reeds -
the photo op hospital and the back wards they don't take you to.

21. well, I am sure there's no back ward for Halliburton
or KB&R, or any other defense contractor, I seemed to remember they had a 5 star hotel
over there.
