Especially when I heard 9 billion dallors in Iraq was "unaccounted for" that could've paid for a lot newly injured soldiers but instead some crooked ass politicians finally got that bonus or even worse it could've been used to purchase bombs and guns to use against our own soldiers it's just more and more mismanagement.
I really think it was a beautiful day when the Iraqi people voted and our soldiers should be proud but they deserve the absolute best medical treatment this country has to offer and they need it yesterday.
On another note what about those North Koreans?
Looks like we missed the immenent threat oops I mean spreading Freedom or whatever Condi's calling it this week!

I heard today that for the first time in 10 yrs new recruits for the
Marines have actually decreased.
Need I say, I certainly don't blame these young men and women?
This is a sorry way to "support the troops"
