Wow! I didn't expect my words on Saturday to be so strongly reinforced so quickly.
Today, Sen. Joe Biden, who seems to be a decent sort of guy, talked with Don Imus about funding more armored vehicles for soldiers in Iraq. He claims the Bush administration is dragging their feet in getting these vehicles produced and shipped to the troops.
This from a senator whose party jammed enough pork into the House bill for military funding to have a barbeque for all of the Democrat representatives and senators for the next century. Sen. Biden wants to have $1.5 billion allocated for these vehicles to save our soldiers lives.
Then why didn't his own party put that into their bill instead of all of the funds for shrimp farmers and the like?
Talk about disingenuous!
Don Imus also pointed out that the best rehabilitation facility for soldiers was recently completed with private funding. This is the Center for the Intrepid in San Antonio. Of course, Sen. Hillary Clinton was there to grin her way into a photo op. This, by the way, was the work of Arnold Fisher who led the private funding... more than $50 million... for the effort. Another senator from the same party who tries to divert funds from the soldiers needs and then claims the administration is blocking funding efforts.
Perhaps they should rename the party the Janus Party. If you are going to be two-faced, you might as well boast about it.
