Searching, Searching
Congress is hunt again. Searching high and low, for who's responsible for the conditions at Walter Reed Hospital.
The U. S. Congress, the most gutless assembly that I can remember, Are all looking for the responsible party, or parties, in the plight of our wounded Soldiers. It'll never in a million years occur to our elite members of congress, that THEY are partly to blame too. More them than anyone else as far as I'm concerned.
Our gutless elite didn't have the guts to debate the base closings when the time came, so they did one of the things that they do best. PASS THE BUCK ! Congress, in all it's wisdom, PASSED THE BUCK and left it up to a commission, then JUST HAD TO VOTE FOR THE BILL. They didn't have any choice. Poor babies. Funny how if you're on the hot seat in front of them, you can't PASS THE BUCK, unless it's to blame Bush for it. They always want to hold someones' feet to the fire. They don't understand how anyone could forget either, unless they're the ones under indictment.
The commissions recommendations were put into a bill and passed by congress, under duress, I'm sure. As usual they probably didn't have time in their busy schedules to read the entire bill, and must not have noticed Walter Reed was on the list to be closed. (Probably out raising money for their reelections.) So our wise leaders CUT FUNDING FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS FOR CERTAIN BASES. DUH!!!!! That leads to reductions in everything and that ain't rocket science. But maybe we need a STUDY first.
You know, the more I think about it, it seems like every time our noble congress gets involved to fix something, it really stinks later. And I mean everything. Just look at the security letters that have been sent out. In 1986 Sen. Pat Leahy got a bill passed allowing the FBI to use them. Now they (FBI) are, they (congress) don't like it, and are trying to PASS THE BUCK off on the Bush admin. Not to loudly though, lest the truth get out among the masses.
Soon it'll be immigration. But at times I think that we might have to wait until after the 2008 elections for that present to our children. The last thing dems want to do is give President Bush an accomplishment to point to.
