George W. Bush keeps telling us how much he appreciates the U.S. troops who are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. And how does he show his gratitude? By cutting veterans' benefits and letting them return to the U.S. only to live in poverty.
Iraq war vets are showing up in homeless shelters in alarming numbers. [Read story.]
Bush and his cronies point their fingers at those of us who question the war in Iraq and call us "un-American". But at least we care about the well-being of our troops.
Bush's gratuitous lip service means nothing when you look at how his administration sent our soldiers into a war based on lies, with inadequate equipment and no exit strategy. In my opinion, that is un-American.
