Walter Reed Investigation and Shake-up

At first I was shocked. Now I'm just suspicious, very suspicious. Don't we have congressional oversight for this? Why do they need a new hearing? What has that committee been doing? Whenever I've been on a committee we were expected to be doing something besides meet during a crisis. Aren't these the same people who want us all to have national health care supplied and overseen by them? If the medical care is this bad, why would we want that? And what about all those photo ops we've seen of politicians, including the President, with wounded soldiers? Parents and wives. Weren't any of them writing Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or Deborah Pryce? What about those war protesters (Code Pink?) camped outside Walter Reed? Are they so stupid they would have kept this quiet all these years? Gosh, fire those guys and get some new commies. Is this just one more way to bad mouth the war and embarrass the President? At the expense of our troops and the Iraqi people?

If only there were someone who worked for the federal government whose job it was to oversee military installations and the armed forces.

Some kind of commander. But not like an ordinary commander. Higher up, some how.

Like a commander in chief. O well, guess it's Hillary Clinton's fault.

I'm closer to agreeing with you here than on man made global warming with no questions allowed and all alternatives silenced. The buck does stop with the commander in chief. But at some point, he does need to depend on his military, civil service, elected and appointed government employees. I know the left has treated him as though he were super man and has god like powers similar to their elected officials, but I know better. It's still so peculiar that no one said anything before--don't you think? We have a free press, a war protest movement, hundreds of foundations and political organizations staffed and supported by socialists, communists, and anti-Bush/Cheney folks. Those guys have really let your side down.

In Columbus they've fired a principal for not following proper procedures when a developmentally disabled student was sexually assaulted; they've fired the $100,000 a year transportation director for not doing security checks on the bus drivers when a couple have been found with drugs on the bus. But the superintendent has not been fired. Glenn Beck tried to get the Mayor blamed, but I don't think that worked.
