Shame on Bush & Co.

Why isn't our administration taking better care of our men and women in uniform? Why are they so slow in getting more armor-plating for the Humvees and other vehicles? Why do they send our military over there without adequate protection, and without enough supplies? This to me borders on criminal, and the adsurd.

Our troops have to contend with back-to-back call-ups, not enough R&R time, and the list is almost endless. And if our brave men and women get injured, then they are a liability to Bush & Co. We have read reports where our troops are being charged for their meals in the hospitals where they are recuperating, many who have lost an arm or a leg have long waiting periods till they can get a prosthetsis. This is simply ridiculous! And now we are hearing through the news that now the administration doesn't want to grant long-term disability payments to those brave men and women that were severly injured. What the hell is going on here? Is it any wonder that the military is having such a hard time recruiting?

I think it is high time that the American people start sending a message to Bush & Co. We must ask the tough questions like.......where is all the money that is supposedly going to fund the war...where is it going? Why isn't there enough armor plating on all vehicles over there in Iraq? Out of that $82 billion that Congress just delivered to Bush & Co. for the war in Iraq, is it really going to where it is really needed? Is it being spent for the equipment and supplies that are desperately needed there? How much of that money is really going to companies like Halliburton, who routinely overcharges us for their services?

It's time that we start taking to the streets and protest! Where are all the protest rallies? Where are the public cries for accountability? Come on people, we have to send a message to this administration. We have to tell them they can't get away with these despicable acts of callous disregard for the safety and well-being of our brave men and women who are over there in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our voices must rise up and be heard!
