UPDATE:
Of course, some veterans will never need to rely on the VA. Like the 44 American soldiers already killed in Iraq during the first three weeks of September. Bob Geiger lists them all.

Comments

  1. Didn’t Reichart vote to NOT INCREASE VA benefits? What is the ad citing when it says “cut.”

  2. Even an increase in funding is a cut if it doesn’t keep up with inflation or the increase in demand for services. Ask veterans if the service they get from the VA has gotten better or worse over the past few years.

    But to argue the definition of “cut” is an intentional distraction from the point of the ad… we need to keep our promises to our troops. And we’re not.

  3. This is a Republican world & therefore “not increase” = “cut”, “black” = “white”, “down” = “up”, “insanity” = “God`s way” etc

    Of course the unwililngness to “increase” to stay up with inflation is a “cut” in real terms but then reality has never been the strong suit of the Republicans

  5. I love it that we can beat the republicans by showing them arm and arm with the Pretender & Thief. Man how bad is it going to get for the rethugs when they run from their own pres!!!

  6. With the flood of injured and disabled vetereans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, even an INCREASE that does not keep up with that flood is a betrayal of our brave soldiers, sailors, and Marines. But as I understand it, the VA bill bamboozle is to increase funding slightly for two years and THEN decrease it, so that they can run on increasing it and leave the wreckage for the next administraion (as with everything else). Is there ANYTHING these guys will not purposely fuck up in the name of short-term political gain?

    Darcy looks great She looks pissed! Yes, we’re ALL fucking pissed off out here in non-wingnut America. Throw the bastards out!

  7. Jonathan alter’s comments aside, the revelations from his former football buddies about George Allen’s affection for the “N-word” will probably knock him down the few more points it will take for Admiral Webb to finish him off. Toast!

  9. Military woman are cool I think we should get rid of all the guys.

    They seam to be the ones messing everything up over there

  10. sgmmac:

    So is and does Allen. Give Webb some credit (and only some), that he has said that women can serve in combat now.

    Heck, Newt Gingrich said that women shouldn’t be in combat becaue they get “infections” every 28 days.

  12. TS:

    The military is doing just fine, it is the civilian leadership that is forcing them to do jobs they are not designed to do, and are forcing them to do it on a shoe string that are messing things up.

  19. Conservatives have their nickers in a twist over Cliton calling FOX News out. But isn’t it more alarming what Bush said yesterday in his interview with CNN:

    I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy. … The unity government is functioning.”

    http://www.wonkette.com/politi.....203036.php

    Looks like all those drugs Bush did have had some lasting effect.

  20. yeah I herd big DOG gave them a bitch slaping over there at fox yester day .

    And it disturbes me any time Bush says anything

  21. It’s a good thing I don’t vote in that state. I would write letters every day to editors over Webb’s comments. How fucking hard is it for him to apologize for his remarks?

    It’s not, he’s a sexist and he deserves the hatred he gets. I don’t believe women should be in direct combat units, but the argument doesn’t involve hatred like Webb’s………..

  22. I watched that interview (which Fox was forced to show uncut). Chris Wallace is still bandaging his ass. When Clinton reached over and tapped him on the knee, I thought Wallace was going to shit his pants. He was clearly scared that he had pissed off the former POTUS. He was clearly intimidated, clearly out gunned.

    Bush wishes he could speak off the cuff like that without tripping over his brain and tongue. (not that he has a brain).

  23. Remember the Anthrax attack? How come Bush and his regime haven’t solved that case yet? And for all those republican liars who say we haven’t been attacked since 9.11 well, the anthrax attack sure seemed like an attack to the people it harmed or killed.

    You’re LESS safe with the GOP in charge.

  24. sgmmac

    Dammit.

    Admiral Webb may or may not be a sexist. I do not know what is in his mind, and neither do you. He did oppose women in the military but now has aplogized for his earlier statemetns and still holds that women should not be in “tip of the spear” combat roles.

    He also said, correctly, that, “We didn’t go into Iraq because of terrorism. We have terrorists in Iraq because we went in there.” Why a former Reagan Secretary or the Navy wants to be a Democrat is beyond me, but he’s the Democratic candidate in a red-slowly-turning-blue state. I support him.

  26. My experience is that woman are just as mean and nasty as men and are perfectly capable of front line combat

    Actually I have know some woman I was more a feared of then any man :-/

  30. Here’s the LA Times on the brouhaha over Pentagon funding for the troops.

    The decision by Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, the Army’s chief of staff, is believed to be unprecedented and signals a widespread belief within the Army that in the absence of significant troop withdrawals from Iraq, funding assumptions must be completely reworked, say current and former Pentagon officials.

    ….According to a senior Army official involved in budget talks, Schoomaker is now seeking $138.8 billion in 2008, nearly $25 billion above budget limits originally set by Rumsfeld. The Army’s budget this year is $98.2 billion, making Schoomaker’s request a 41% increase over current levels.

    A) This is what is the real on-the-ground significance of the “meltdown” that US military officials predicted in 2005 for the spring of 2006. We cannot sustain this deployment, and the predident has no ideas other than waiting out the rest of his term.

    B) This also handily illustrates the White House’s bitter opposition in reality to what they CLAIM they will do without question: give the military whatever they ask for.

    Why don’t we vote to put the adults back in charge?

  31. Gee, I guess I left the critical lede out of that story. Here it is:

    “The Army’s top officer withheld a required 2008 budget plan from Pentagon leaders last month after protesting to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld that the service could not maintain its current level of activity in Iraq plus its other global commitments without billions in additional funding.”

  36. Watching Bill Clinton eat up Chris Wallace yesterday reminded me what it was like to have a real president. Lord, how I miss competency in the White House, someone with a command of facts, the ability to think on his feet, the capacity to speak a coherent sentence off-the-cuff . . . Bush is so tiny compared to Bill Clinton, a mere shadow of a man, let alone a president.

  37. …He was clearly scared that he had pissed off the former POTUS. He was clearly intimidated, clearly out gunned. …

    Reminds me of the time Bill O’Reilly verbally bitch-slapped that arrogant litte cocksucker Al Franken in front of God, Molly Ivins and eveyone else. That was fan-fuckin’-tastic! to see that arrogant whinet little shit get put in his place by O’Reilly. Franken nearly pissed himselft he was so scared!

  38. I made a batch of tallhouse cookies this morning.

    So im whating for those to cool off enough to eat :-/

  40. I would like to see Keith Olbermann and Bill O’Reilly face off. O’Reilly likes to bully, but Olbermann is as tall and all that height O’Reilly likes to use to intimdate is useless. O’Reilly is intimidated by Olbermann too, Won’t allow his name to be spoken on the show.

  41. Thing have gotten so bad I was actually thinking fondly last week of the military coup in Thailand and wishing we could have one here and return to democracy and sanity :-/

  42. When any of you pansy asses have actually served, then you can tell me about the military and veterans. The VA under Democrats was crappy. Hell, the death coverage under Clinton was a measly $12K when Clinton sent kids off to die in Somalia. Bush isn’t great, but if funding is the barometer you asses want to use, $250K for a soldier that dies in combat sure as hell beats $12K.

  44. Daddy,

    I saw a debate with them and it was brought up and Webb did NOT apologize. I haven’t heard comments like that about women in the military for years, I thought we had gotten rid of all of those hard nosed sexist bastards. His comments pissed me off – period.

    Socialist,

    Being mean has nothing to do with front line combat.

  45. So “sgmmac” –

    Two Questions:

    1) Are you familiar with the term “sock puppet”?

    2) Do you work for Riechert or McSafeco?

  46. sgmmac

    I saw them both and Meet the Press and he did. He’s a hardnosed son of a bitch, though. I’m glad he’s on our side.

  48. sgmmac I just was trying to say there pefictly capible of doing it

    And the Homo’s to

  49. According to the NY TImes, we’re sorta, well, NOT giving our troops everything they need…

    The pressures that the conflict in Iraq is putting on the Army are apparent amid the towering pine trees of southeast Georgia, where the Third Infantry Division is preparing for the likelihood that it will go back to Iraq for a third tour. Col. Tom James, who commands the division’s Second Brigade, acknowledged that his unit’s equipment levels had fallen so low that it now had no tanks or other armored vehicles to use in training and that his soldiers were rated as largely untrained in attack and defense.

    But only if you look at it like a “Bush-hater” would, right?

  50. I learned this reposting and repeating trick from the WingNuts.

  64. Dow Ends Up 68 on Rosy Economic Outlook

    http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/060925/wall_street.html?.v=33

    AP – Stocks rose smartly Monday after Dallas Federal Reserve President Richard Fisher suggested inflation would be dampened by a slowing economy and said that while the housing and auto sectors are economic weak points, the rest of the U.S. economy is doing “extremely well.”

  65. Anonymous:

    You do not have the correct house or information.

    Facts for you: My home is 3700 sq.ft, just 3 bedrooms, it sits on 2.5 acres, no mountain view, it overlooks the sound (that would be a water view). Year built: 2004. There is a guest house and two out buildings, a shop and a barn for the animals. Zillow.com estimates the value at $1.6 million, they are low by about 17% based on the sale price of two homes here in the last 30 days.

    Again, you are playing with cards you are not holding.

    You should try *67, it blocks your number from going out on individual calls. By the way, whatever place you are describing, proudofherfatlyingthreateningass,is on the wrong side of Puget Sound.

    Now, go back to the crack pipe. You are much easier to deal with when you are silent.

    You are a fucking ignorant bitch with no life. If you are so confident, which you are not, go ahead and post the address.

  66. Meeting is this Friday, moron bitch.

    As for the CH1J27, might want to ask Teresa about that, but then you would be entitled to know her info if she were to advise you. You don’t have her name, you are never going to get it.

    me thinks the lady doth protest too much…. look for that E320 and watch for me at Costco

  69. By the way, just a side note, you are again threatening me. I am not concerned at all. Why don’t you stop on by, when you locate the right house I will tell you. As for the car you drive, not impressed, although I am sure you got yourself all wet typing that. One last thing.

    Go fuck yourself you miserable hag. I am laughing so hard at your feeble attempts to locate me. I own you. You can’t stop thinking about me. You have spent a lot of time trying to find something you are never going to locate. Your problem is that you assume too much. You don’t look at what you know. You come to a conclusion without any facts. How do you know whose name the house is in? Perhaps we have formed a corporation, perhaps Teresa owned the home before we married? Perhaps our parents own it? All you know about me is my name. Nothing else. You have a name and a computer. Then you search and search and search and anything that comes up Carl Grossman, is me. Did you know that there are 1000’s of Carl Grossmans, ok, hundreds, in the United States. I was surprised to find that out too. There are even some who share my middle name. (Another fact that you don’t have). Without more information, you have nothing. Just a name.

    Not really very much is it. It is valuable to me, and worthless knowledge to you.

    Now look, Missy, I am bored with this. You need to realize that I have bested you. I proved you to be a liar, an internet terrorist (you did it again today) and I am quite concerned you are going to lose it, approach a house whose residents are not as nice as I am, or as undertanding of your mental defects, and great harm may come to you. Do yourself a favor, let it go.

    Again, you are playing this game with cards you don’t have.

    You do not have Teresa’s name. You are making a huge error in judgement. I am begging you to give this up. You are going to put yourself in a position of liability that even your considerable ass will not be able to cover. Whatever info you have it is just not possible for it to be correct. Our number is unlisted. There are lots of Grossmans in the world. Many right here in the Puget Sound area. Quite a few are doctors in fact.

    Now, back to your pretend “kids”, pretend car, pretend “family business” and pretend “intelligence”. You are not Magnum P.I. You are not even Mr. Magoo.

  72. you are a weasel. you are a coward that won’t can’t admit you were bested.
    you challenged and were bested …

    little teresa jeane went running for cover when her neighbors were named.

    you aren’t MAN enough to admit it and move on.. wi’ant you?
    you aren’t MAN enough or big enough to say to anyone ‘you got me.. well done, that was fun’

    i don’t blame you for not admitting it… little carl is too worried his ‘internet friends’ will think less of him. little carl has his sad little wife supported ego all invested in what the internet idiots think of him…

    you are a COWARD

    Carl = coward

  73. Nov 9-16, we have extended our vacation by two days. Look forward to the surfing lesson. Can we have a beer afterwards, all that activity will make me thirsty?

    You really are ill. Seriously, you have some kind of a problem that you need to deal with.

    When I am bested, I admit it. But honestly, proudofherfatlyingthreateningass, you have not even come close. Admit you don’t know anything. Admit you are guessing. Admiting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

    As for this game, I am always willing to play.

  81. The best way to know that proudofherfatlyingthreateningass has been bested, she posts immature rantings, claims victory when there clearly is none and tries to taunt me into a rant. I only do the rants when I choose.

    You are great entertainment. Why don’t you drive up the Costco now, you need a break from the computer. You can get five or six hotdogs for just $1.50 each. That should hold you to dinner.

    By the way, when are you going to post your name here? Oh yeah, you are afraid of the lefties here who are crazy and might harm your “children” and home. But really, how much damage can be done to your 40 year old trailer.

    You going to address the “anything untoward” mistake you made, attacking me without checking your facts. Just like you think you have the facts about my wife and I now.

    You really are a sad, lonely, miserable human. I feel bad for you.

    The 44 deaths in Iraq could have been avoided. We have less control over the other forms of death.

  89. Now we have republican ex-generals (you know the guys who unlike Rummy, Cheney and Bush went to war) saying that the Bush regime is lying when it says that it’s given the generals everything they ask for to win the war.

  96. Oh god not thius same old bullshit. I have heard this same think pointed in so many directions.

    A cut that was really a cut in proposed increases, or a cut that was not an increase.

    If McGavick had made this accusation against Maria Cantwell, who also took a pay raise, you would swarm his ass.

    A cut is only a cut if it takes current levels and decreases them. All ealse is political double speak and misdirection, with some sophistry and demagoguary for flavor.

    I am a disabled vet, and last year my pension check increased. That is not a cut.

    In 2005 there were 6,287,759 people in Washington state. There are 140,000 soldiers in Iraq. 44 deaths in a month is the equivalent of 1,976 deaths here. In one month.

    In 2004 there were 3,500 deaths from all causes in September.

    In 2004 as a whole, deaths from accident and “all other causes” (which include the categories you mentioned, basically, anything not disease or accident related) totaled 11,455 for the entire year or a bit less than 1000 per month, or only approximately half the rate of death we saw in Iraq in Sepetember 2006.

    So those deaths in Iraq are quite high, which we already knew.

  98. The Iraq conflict, which began in March 2003, made “America arguably less safe now than it was on September 11, 2001,” retired Army Maj. Gen. John Batiste , who commanded the 1st Infantry Division in Iraq in 2004-2005, told a hearing on the war called by U.S. Senate Democrats. He went on to say that the conduct of the Iraq war fueled Islamic fundamentalism across the globe and created more enemies for the United States.

  99. One fact: The dead Muuuuuuuuuuslim terrorists are no longer a problem. The Muuuuuuuuslim terrorist solution: Use Trident subs rather than 18 year old Marines. One Trident will solve the Muuuuuuuuslim terroist problem in one day.

  100. “Is torture an American value?” [Goldysteinburg]…………………..No, But using “nukes” to kick the shit out of our enemies to end a war is!!! It works EVERY time it is tried!!!!!

    Your comparisons of Iraqi deaths to those in Washington is interesting but also intellectually dishonest. If we were at war here then the comparison would be comparable but we are not at war here. And, yes! If Iraq was at peace then the comparison would also be comparable but how people over the years did Hussein kill?

    Please make your comparisons Apples to Apples1 That is Washington Apples to Iraqi Apples.

  102. Consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

    The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period.

    That means you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S.capital city, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

    Conclusion: The U.S. should immediately pull out of Washington DC.

  103. Rujax,

    I wish I worked for a campaign…….. then I might have some money……
    But alas, I live on my Army retirement and my VA disability check. (I am also happy doing whatever I want to- when I want to!)

    My checks like Sven’s went up last year. Social Security, VA disability and military retirement checks get COLA raises every year. Last year our raise was higher than the active duty soldiers. It may be again this year, but since gasoline prices are dropping like hot potatoes – maybe not.

    I do babysit my 9 month old grandson while my daughter works full time. But they are on vacation – so I am taking one too!
    I just got back from Vegas yesterday.

    Since I am retired – I have lots of free time to read and post………

  104. Could we compare American deaths in Iraq to the American deaths in all black Democrat cities like Detroit, Washington, D.C., Gary, Philly, and Cleveland? Just “axing”…………..

  105. Proudofyourfatlyingthreateningass:

    You have no information. None at all. If you wish to continue deluding yourself, so be it. Just like you NEVER said “anything untoward”. I debunked that, but you have not acknowledged that little fact, have you? I have handed you your ass on a platter here at least twice. You do not have Teresa’s work number, her WSBA number or anything else that you believe that you have. Does your driving distance include the ferry that she takes daily, you know, the one she walks on each morning when I drop her off, picks up her car on the other side and continues her commute? You like to make claims, none of which you have confirmed, and, can’t confirm. You don’t have her name. You fail to recognize that she is anonymous to you. You are guessing, and guessing badly. When you get a “fact” correct I will happily let you know. But so far, you are zero for forever.

    Again, Teresa does not practice under her married name, I don’t know how much clearer this can be made to you, it is in no way associated with her career. Never has. Probably never will. She was well established before we met, by chance, at a Seattle Mariner game.

    So you go on, be convinced that you know some big secret, because you don’t. I am not concerned, other than for the other poor fellow you are considering to disturb.

    It is not about winning and losing. Though your words may make you feel better, there is no truth to them, thereby rendering them both meaningless and harmless.

    But don’t pay any attention to me. Come, knock on the door you believe to ours. The only way you can learn the truth is to physically investigate your information.

    As to whether you are female or male, it really does not matter to me. But the fact that you have “come out of the closet” tells me that I got to you. It also tells me that I am probably right. You are a little bitch. Male or female.

    You have a nice evening, I am going to sit on the couch and watch the Saints return to New Orleans. Much more exciting than bantering endlessly, and, uselessly with you.

  106. When any of you pansy asses have actually served, then you can tell me about the military and veterans. The VA under Democrats was crappy. Hell, the death coverage under Clinton was a measly $12K when Clinton sent kids off to die in Somalia. Bush isn’t great, but if funding is the barometer you asses want to use, $250K for a soldier that dies in combat sure as hell beats $12K. Commentby A Vet— 9/25/06@ 12:18 pm

    Excellent post!

  107. I thought we had gotten rid of all of those hard nosed sexist bastards. His comments pissed me off – period. Socialist, Being mean has nothing to do with front line combat. Commentby sgmmac— 9/25/06@ 12:21 pm

    They still live in the donkocrapic party.

  108. MWS,

    That might be a nice post from A Vet, but it’s not correct. Life insurance in the military hasn’t been 12K for years and years and many more years.

    SGLI was 20,000 grand when I joined the Army in 1973. Now it is 250,000. It was 200,000 under Clinton and he might be a lot of things, but he did do some good things for the military. He did some bad too, but Rumsfield is currently trying to quadruple the health care insurance for retirees right now, so being a Republican doesn’t necessarily mean you take good care of the military…………

  109. I wonder if Clinton voted for his Local School Bond Levies?

    Darcy didn’t seem to find the time to vote her local school levies. She must have been busy preparing for the “Ames Lake Home Owners Assoc” Meetings. Priorities are important. I am glad she got her’s straight.

  110. but Rumsfield is currently trying to quadruple the health care insurance for retirees right now, so being a Republican doesn’t necessarily mean you take good care of the military…………

    sgmmac,

    Do you remember how health care as a retired military person was supposed to be free? The government is doing everything it can to get out that. Tricare was the start. What they’re trying to do is to totally eliminate the retired military folks from the system, foisting them off on private insurance and eventually into Medicare.

    The government, no matter which party in in power, cannot be trusted.
