Some of the INACTION is down right criminal;. The punishment should go to the real criminal; Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson. The established presidential task force headed by VA Secretary Jim Nicholson, is a crime in progress. This oversight totally defeats the purpose when it is already known by our politicians that this whole system needs a major operation. Why let a big part of the problem just put a Band-Aid on it while saying; it's at my discretion as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs?
It is a reprehensible crime that the Bush administration would veto anything containing the 4 billion in emergency funding that the VA so desperately needs. It is actually a crime against our whole society if our young veterans do not get the proper medical and mental health treatment they need.
According to the Congressional research Center this needed troop surge has increased the cost of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan to 12 billion a month, plus other minor costs. Add to that 592 million for the massive US Embassy due to be fully operational in August. Senate staffers report; out of the 4000 living on the compound 1000 are American, many Iraq politicians, protection contractors and the local staff has a yearly cost of at least 1.2 billion! The residence here has fresh fruits salads, Turkey, fish, yogurt and Baskin Robbins ice cream shipped from the United States. How much is this delivery convoy costing every seven to 10 days? Why are our deployed troops the ones eating the ready-made meals?
How can the Bush administration possibly quibble over the needed addition of $4 billion for the Veterans Affairs to repair the physical and mental casualties of this war? Do you see where the real crime is?

Congratulations for finally realizing the obvious. NO, the Shrub gang has NO intention of listening to ANYONE who tells them something contrary to their plans and wishes. Haven't you seen that they consider themselves totally above the law, even the ones they sign themselves? They are all part of the Illuminati, the globalists who control the world, and they consider the common people as no more valuable than cattle. The people do NOT control or have a voice in what happens in government until the Illuminati are removed when the Big Changes start.

Actually, politicians are VERY sensitive to public opinion. They get so drunk with power that they are obsessed with keeping their jobs. That is why they are not effective in solving problems: they are more interested in getting reelected so they can keep the groovy job with all the bennies. It seems like they don't care what you think but they want your vote. That is why they say one thing and do another. Sadly, there is a real leadership vacuum in Washington right now. Where is Ronald Reagan when we need him most?

Haven't you learned over the last 6 and 1/2 years that the only opinion bush hears is his own and of course anyone who agrees with him. Congress will listen quicker than bush.

The only way to judge public opinion is by a thing we call an election. I wouldn't give a dime for any of the public opinion "polls". They are far too easy to spin and change.

Yeah hopefully what Obama or Hillary would do is just sit in the White House all day doing nothing while their aides conduct public opinion polls and then make decisions from polls, not actually be the President.
