If you claim to have any respect for "the troops" and you create a BS narrative that makes your party the only group that "supports" the troops, would you display leadership and take charge of whats going on at Walter Reed especially when you are in the process of sending over more resources to die and waste their lives?
Not if you have the Katrina-style of Management that "the Decider" demonstrates. "the Decider" can only be brought to a correct way of handling critical issues only after his administration fucks them completely up OR they embarass themselves until they have to slink to the right answer OR they defiantly claim that all is well until crystal clear evidence refutes their lies.
Well folks, we got a combo package of bad leadership going on....the military Fucked up the easiest thing the military has to do, provide good medical care for the soliders who are getting blown up, maimed, or just hurt badly from a mismanaged war, so we got one failure
Secondly, Tony Snow embarassed himself and his president by trying to fill in the big monster leadership vaccum by proclaiming two weeks ago that this was a (paraphrased) Pentagon kerfluffle and that is was not really a WH issue. Then the W. Post issue hit and hit with the impact of a daisy cutter on the incompetent Bush administration and still not a word from Bush. Gates and the military are sent out to do damage control. For two weeks, the W. Reed commanders said , Oh its not an issue that our injured soliders have been living in shit conditions in DC and at other VA hospitals across the US. Its ok that the GOP congress kept keeping the $$$ short to provide decent care (and body armor, etc.). Of course the press saw some low hanging fruit in the stupid responses of the adminstration and DoD personnel....so it was easy to just show the eviddence and roll out Bob Woodward, who was a perfect witness of what happens if you are a celebrity. He got great care but made sure people knew that if he was a solider, he would not have gotten the quality care that saved his life and brain. And even with this, not one drop of statement or concern or involvement from Dummy-GWB.
Finally after two weeks of stupidity and FEMA like response to this issue, Gates finally fires the people running W. Reed because they keep saying all of this was just a mistake and it wasnt that bad. Gates is forced to be the focal point. If you are looking for "the Decider", check out the sound of crickets.......so he tries to sound concerned in his radio address which no one will hear on the weekend. This is the response of a "war president".
Hardly. It is the response of a total moron.
This is the scandal that will bring down the GOP and those who still support TeamFailure (aka the Bush clown show) will finally have to eat a nice heaping bowl of Failure soup as the GOP loses more seats and the Dems gain the supermajority they have to get in the Senate to push things forward without the crap of a Mitch McConnell or the quisling behavior of Joe Lieberman who you CT voters need a ass whipping for returning him o office.
The presidental battle is fun and interesting but the real election is the Senate 2008 battle where the number 61 is not the number of HR's Roger Maris hit in 1961, its the crown in the ultimate jewel, a filabuster proof majority. 66 is too lofty but that is the Holy Grail as it would end the ability of the president to veto legislation. But getting to 61 will allow cloture to be invoked without the crap we have seen from McConnell and Lieberman.
Only then can we help the soliders and the American people to feel like its our country again. Time to make sure the GOPee is kicked to the curb once and for all.
