TPM has this: Oops! Building on my last post on the NRCC’s bogus Business Advisory Council and “Businessman of the Year” program, it turns out that Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari isn’t the first member of the council to be indicted on charges of supporting terrorism. Yasith Chhun, the head of the Cambodian Freedom Fighters, […]
More than a day after the WaPo exposes the horrible way some of our wounded soldiers are being treated at Walter Reed and we still don’t even have mention of it from the right-wing blogs. Yup – these poor soldiers are no longer of any value to them because they aren’t out there “killin some […]
If you didn’t watch it last night, here is the opening skit of FOX’s soon to be canceled (it sucks!) “Half Hour News Hour”. So for their pilot’s opening skit they pick Limbaugh and Coulter. Let’s see – that is druggie Rush and Coulter, who could be a felon in Florida once charges are pressed […]
Aravosis is all over this story. He has more posts to read here, here and here. We can not sit by and let this happen to our soldiers. It is bad enough they were sent into a war based on lies, but then to treat them like this after they get injured there is beyond […]
With the White House working hard to pin everything on Iran, it should come as no shock that Iran would turn the tables and do the same to us: The Iranian Foreign Ministry charged Sunday that Sunni insurgents from Iran used Pakistan as a base to plan a bombing that killed 11 people and wounded […]
This is absolutely appalling. People go to fight in Bush’s bullshit war, then loose limbs and this is how he treats them: Perks and stardom do not come to every amputee. Sgt. David Thomas, a gunner with the Tennessee National Guard, spent his first three months at Walter Reed with no decent clothes; medics in […]
John has all the details. This guy should not only be fired, but also charged with treason. Treating our soldiers, who have gone to fight in this bullshit war, like this is a crime. And where are the “we love the troops and you don’t” right-wingers on this? They are silent as usual. They are […]
Remember a couple of years ago when Rumsfeld was asked by a active soldier in Iraq how come they didn’t have armor? How about all the times we have heard parents of troops saying they have to send money to our troops to buy armor and the Pentagon not wanting to reimburse them, or even […]
Sunday’s Washington Post gives us this rosy look into how our veterans are being treated: Behind the door of Army Spec. Jeremy Duncan’s room, part of the wall is torn and hangs in the air, weighted down with black mold. When the wounded combat engineer stands in his shower and looks up, he can see […]
Wow what a liberal person he is. Here is what he said today during his radio address: The problem with our current system is clear: health care costs are rising rapidly, more than twice as fast as wages. These rising costs are driving up the price of health insurance and making it harder for working […]
