"The omnibus legislation drew unanimous committee approval. But Senator Coburn objected to quick floor passage, demanding that the five-year, $3.7 billion cost be offset with immediate budget cuts. The senator’s argument rings hollow in the face of veterans’ suffering and the world of deficit budgeting brought on by his party’s tax cuts and zealous war investments."

  3. #3    Hey, as in every war, we've used these people; now it's time to throw them away. Remember, one-third of the homeless are Nam vets.

    Dear Mr. President:
    They used to die for Bush’s lies;
    Now they die for yours.
    You lie; another sucker dies.
    It is the way of war.

    Every U.S. fatality from Iraq and Afghanistan should have on his/her memorial stone: “Here lies a sucker who died for lies—for NOTHING.”

  4. #4    Yes, why would any person give his or her life, child, or precious body parts to the failed broken down machine called Amerika. The only thing Coburn needs is a good fragging.
