Lawmakers to hold Walter Reed hearings
Monday, March 5, '07
WASHINGTON (AP) - As several House committees prepared to delve into the scandal at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, outraged lawmakers vowed quick action and called for an independent commission to examine poor conditions for soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's national security panel, headed by Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass., scheduled a hearing at the hospital's auditorium Monday morning. The list of Army officials, hospital staff and patients invited to speak includes the medical center's previous commander, Maj. Gen. George Weightman.
So - where have all of these "outraged" lawmakers been over a period of several years? Surely the "condiions" didn't just suddenly arise overnight! Where have these "concerned" people been? And if they support and "care" so much about our troops, why hadn't they visited Walter Reed themselves? They ae SO phony.
