hagel uncovers bush refusal to treat or ackn g.i.'s iraq gas exposure

[dherd]

Military officers said the previously unacknowledged data was discovered
when, at Mr. Hagel's prodding, the Army's Public Health Command
examined its collection of standardized medical-history surveys, known
as post-deployment health assessments, which troops filled out as they completed combat tours.

More than 600 American service members since 2003 have reported to
military medical staff members that they believe they were exposed to
chemical warfare agents in Iraq,
but the Pentagon failed to recognize the scope of the reported cases or
offer adequate tracking and treatment to those who may have been
injured, defense officials say.

OUR REPUBLICAN PARTY - LOVING THE TROOPS - "THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SERVICE"!!!

RIGHT!!

This previously untold chapter of the occupation became public after an investigation by The New York Times revealed
last month that although troops did not find an active weapons of mass
destruction program, they did encounter degraded chemical weapons from
the 1980s that had been hidden in caches or used in makeshift bombs.

FROM THE 80'S - NOW WHO IN THE 80'S MIGHT HAVE GIVEN SADAM WEAPONS?
LET ME THINK! OH, I HAVE IT - THAT CONSERVATIVE ICON WHO CONSULTED A
FORTUNE TELLER BEFORE MAKING A MOVE. LOOKS LIKE MADAM FATIMA GOT
THIS ONE WRONG.

Hey.....Come on, she was an Astrologer not a Fortune Teller. Everybody knows the Stars and Horoscopes and much more accurate than Tarot Cards!

i stand corrected - thank you . i suppose that explains why he was always
falling asleep during national security meetings - he was up late the night'
before with his ASTROLOGER.

i guess we'll have to re-write all those texas text books now to read that
his astrologer and not ronnie won the cold war.
