The Grinch strikes again
What's wrong with this photo?
President Bush at the White House, 12/21/07, AP photo by Charles Dharapak
A smiling President, a week before he vetoes a military spending bill that includes pay raises for active duty service members, increased support for returning veterans of the Iraq War, and other benefits for those who've served the country. And why? Because it exposes the Iraqi government to suits by those who suffered under previous Iraqi regimes, notably that of Saddam Hussein. Must protect those we've put in power--and their financial resources--at all costs. Even if those costs were paid for with the blood of American military. It's not as if, of course, anyone in the administration has any personal stake in any of this. Nor any sitting member of Congress, for that matter.
Happy holidays, vets.
