Appalling

The lack of adequate medical treatment for veterans returning from Iraq is all over today's new. This Washington Post article http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/17/AR2007021701172.html, followed by this one http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/18/AR2007021801335.html will make you scream, cry, and feel ashamed. Can we impeach now?

"Soldiers go to VA to try for more benefits, but the department had a
staggering 400,000-case backup on new claims in fiscal 2006, according to
VA."
Opposing the war is important. But we must also demand proper treatment for those who have served. How can Bush advocate escalation if we can't even take care of the vets we have now?
