1. Which now,

after that headline, will be confiscated.

2. Those memory cards are very small and easy to hide.

I wonder how many vets will now come back and rail against Bushco?

[eleny]

3. We've sure been anticipating this

Their bravery never quits.

5. You know, I have to say, I wish the "you can't support the troops but not

Bush or the war" people could climb out of their egos and jingoism for a moment and listen to what you and most DUers have to say on this issue. I totally fucking think that the men and women in Iraq have more guts than I am ever likely to muster.

Anyway here is the washington post story.

Soldiers who escape dying in battle by the narrowest of margins find their way here, to this hotel on the grounds of Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

The lobby, with illuminated chandeliers and oriental carpet, can be crowded with amputees. Peepholes in most room doors are at wheelchair level. And the snazzy maroon and gray hotel shuttle goes to the hospital around the corner, not the airport.

8. Man

Everyday I hate the chimp more and more.

10. I just cannot believe how

These total pieces of shit ever got into power. They are master propagandists. They have no ethics, morals, honesty. They just lie and lie and lie for power. Looks like it is finally falling apart.

Unfortunately, they cannot receive packages in SuperMax. I got this here flag that I left in the kitty box that I thought would be just great for Cheney.

11. Is this why he wants to close walter reed?

To keep those that paid the ultimate price for his hubris hidden? The man has no shame. Veteran's are the best of us. The chimps policies are disgusting and a war of choice under any administration is wrong, but dammit, the our men and women who served deserve so much more than this treasonus draft dodger chimp.

9. There are something like 43000 maimed soldiers IIRC

All part of Bushler's insidious plot to mutilate and kill the able-bodied among us.

12. They will be CRUSHED by the WH

Wait and see.
Have fun in Leavenworth, boys.
