5. I doubt that it is a coincidence that these many photos of disabled
vets in rundown buildings comes just days after *ss dis-invites a disabled vet to his photo op because he has lost his legs. *ss doesn't want the people reminded of what war is really all about so he insults an Iraq vet. I am not saying that they are related to each other but this is one of the few times I have seen the truth on the MSM. At least I saw them on KO's show and the Daily show and I also think Colbert had some of the pictures.

MSM should be showing us the funerals, the disabled and the actual war scenes like they did in Vietnam. Truth will help us end this war.

As to the vets in that terrible hospital - why doesn't congress demand that they be moved to other VA hospitals or to better quarters in any good hospital in the area. There is no excuse for this mess. Those men and women deserve the best.

6. When the video is unavailable
That often means not that YouTube is censoring something the bastards in the White House find embarrassing, but that there is heavy traffic on the video. In other words, many, many people are watching it.

That's good news.
