Congress for you Absolution will never come because of your cowardous actions in letting this war continue!
Saudi Arabia is supporting the Sunni insurgents and al Qaeda in Iraq and no one is reporting it or even acting like they care in Washington! The Bush administration is funding Iran Contra style, al Qaeda in Lebanon! Everyone knows that the Saudi Royal Family is a family friend of Bushs and that puts him at odds with American national interest! Israeli Neocons are pushing the Bush administration to attack Iran. The Blind support of Israel is ruining Americas credibility as a negotiator in the Middle East. Afghanistan is falling apart because this administration has pulled assets from that theater of war. The longer we interject American military and money in the Middle East the longer the problems will exists. If America pulls out of the Middle East then the countries will have to work out their differences between themselves and true peace will be achieved.

Congress America disdains your actions!

Unbelievable that someone would say something like this.

Mark this day down on your calendar, Rick.

You and I actually agree (more or less).

It's not really unbelievable to me since I've known people in real life that wanted to do the same thing. But, I usually distance myself from suicidal people. Especially when they want to commit mass suicide.

But, it is unbelievable that someone would post a comment on the I'net that blatantly violates federal law. Maybe he isn't a US citizen or resident.

Advocating the violent overthrow of the government is a crime under 18 USC 2385 (probably others).

Americans won't even get up off the couch long enough to vote.

Good luck with your armed revolution. Don't count on reinforcements coming to your assistance when the FBI and BATF begin hammering on the door to your compound.

Seems like several groups have been down that road without much success (David Koresh... Waco, Texas).

But, don't let me stop you. It should make for good entertainment if you can hold out for three or four days. After that, you can let them incinerate you because it will be kind of boring just watching tanks sitting outside your compound.

Good luck.

All these complaints about the VA facilities just don't gel. A small percentage of the vets I talk with while at the two facilities I use have valid complaints. However, these same complaints would be heard were any major insurer being used to cover similar care at any major medical facility. Yeah, we vets would all like to see liquid gold funding the VA but the gold urinals are sure sweet to use.

When are YOU going to realize YOUR Government DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU??

YOUR Government DOES NOT LISTEN TO YOU.


YOUR Government cares about THE ELITE and THE ELITE ONLY.

WE NEED A FULL ARMED VIOLENT REVOLUTION.

We have now witnessed first hand over and over again, the Republicon's know how to lie their way into being elected for public office, but they're worthless after they get there. Cons portray themselves as pro-troop? More like the troops are an inconvenience when Cons get caught lying about and denying all their crony based failures.

VA hospitals need to evacuate their personnel now that Bush has taken charge.

He destroys or bankrupts anything he touches, so we can expect no less from the VA hospitals.

The upside is that once Bush totally destroys them, they can be rebuilt after he is thrown out of office.

antonia, all the basketballs are in use for March Madness. So I guess we can just dig into our wallets and send Bush everything we have.

Oh goody. A Review! With a bipartisan commission, no less! This means they're really serious ! (LOL)

I guess they need to commission to decide who is going to get the next batch of Freedom Medals for fvcking up the military hospital system and underfunding the Veteran's Administration.

They've canned one general just to cover their @ss and provide enough smoke to make their getaway. Now it's time to can his predecessor, Gen. Kiley, for ignoring the conditions at Walter Reed for how many months and aiding and abetting a monstrous bureaucracy that abandoned soldiers once they became outpatients and threw so many red tape hurdles at our wounded vets that many of them just gave up.

If this commission doesn't put a few heads on a post to rot in the sun, it's worthless. I'm betting it will just putz along and find some faceless schmuck "take responsibility" which means nothing will change.

By the way: Heckovajob, General Kiley.

First New Orleans... now this? What's the Chimp up to? He hasn't shown any interest in either item for years!! Does he think he can bolster public opinion and slow the congress even more? Too late Chimp, almost everyone hates you now!! Oh sure, you still have your logically challenged few hanging on like lars, badaxmofo, hawksprings, lieberman181 & singinrick. But the multitudes are smarter than that little gaggle of losers... and we are on to you!!

I can not believe that this bunch thought that if they kept the country divided they could control everyone. I guess it goes to show you that you just can't trust those media type always trying to get the story. What a mess this administration has made of the country and in effect the world. I think that the next time a neocon opens his mouth someone shove a basketball in it.

Is there anything more pathetic than the neocon Bushit about "supporting the troops", the way the brand anyone who disagrees with their moronic execution of this war as "not supporting the troops", but when it comes to actually supporting the troops, like with adequate armor, or adequate medical care, the Bushits are batting 0? Sure, billions of dollars have gone missing as Halliburton and Blackwater plunder the U.S. Treasury through cosy deals with the Bushits, but medical care for troops?--that might cut into the tax cut for America's richest 1000 families!

The primary care I receive at Halyburton Naval Hospital at MCAS, Cherry Point, NC has always been excellent. Granted not all specialties are available at this small facility but Tricare is accepted throughout the region for any consultation or surgical procedures not available to the military retiree community.

As to the Veterans Administration Hospital at Durham, the care I have received there has been nothing short of praiseworthy.

Larger facilities such as Wally World just are not suited for personalized care. I am afraid that once Walter Reed is closed due to the Base Reallignment and Closure Commission recommendations we will see a greater number of complaints as they try to increase the size of Roosevelt's "last erection" (Bethesda) to consolidate both facilities current patient population.

Of course, the Bushies support the troops, and Murtha, who demands they receive adequate equipment and reasonable time away from the front lines without "stop-loss orders"...he hates the troops and loves the terrorists. Right. Just like when they ordered torture and then threw flunkie low-level troops into the brig for actually carrying out the order. Now the Tony Snowjob spin machine will tell us how Herr Leader is on this one. Nice photo-op in New Orleans, by the way. I now know that problem has been taken care of by our beloved leader too.

I meant one of the greatest failures of his administration. There have been so many.

As I recall, his press secretary, Tony Snow said this was the Army's problem and they were taking care of it. Apparently it was bigger than that. Imagine if Bush had jumped in his car and driven over there to take a first hand look. He would have been praised. Instead, he's now playing catchup. It's ironic that instead of doing that, he went down to the Gulf Coast for a visit, the scene of the greatest failures of his administration.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA The INCREDITABLE JERK of ALL TIME! This pathetic LOSER should just sit down and SHUT UP for a few more months. I have NEVER hated a man before this Southern Fascist and his Side Kick, Dead Eye. But as a Combat Vet who has watched as this reject from the Devils Best has sent kids off to die for LIES while cutting funding for the VA... yep I hate them BOTH. PURE honest HATE!! Has there EVER been anything more EVIL ever been in a position of power in this Country's history. I sure can't think of any.
