Ask a Vet
Author: TriSec
Date: 01/27/2009 11:37:20
Good Morning.
Today is our 2,141st day in Iraq.
We'll start this morning as we always do, with the latest casualty figures from the 'war on terror', courtesy of Antiwar.com:
American Deaths
Since war began (3/19/03): 4236
Since "Mission Accomplished" (5/1/03): 4097
Since Capture of Saddam (12/13/03): 3775
Since Handover (6/29/04): 3378
Since Election (1/31/05): 2798
Other Coalition Troops - Iraq: 317
US Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 641
Other Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 421
Contractor Deaths - Iraq: 446
We find this morning's cost of war passing through:
$ 591, 782, 200, 000.00
In this first post-Bush week....little has changed except for some posturing, so we here at "Ask a Vet" will continue to soldier on.
To that end, our friends at IAVA have penned a letter to the new president...and they're asking all of us to sign on.
Of course, the new president and Congress are overwhelmed with the economy, and President Obama plans on meeting with the Republican leadership today to try to move things forward. That doesn't mean the veterans are on the back burner; in fact, there's things in the stimulus package that may help.
Lastly this morning, I'll leave you with one veteran's take on the administration just past. Seems like some in uniform are pretty happy that Bush has gone back to Texas, too.
We'll keep an eye on the new President and what happens with our veterans. He's certainly started out well, but these things will all take time to accomplish. Patience will serve us well these first months of Obama's term.

To that end, our friends at IAVA have penned a letter to the new president...and they're asking all of us to sign on.
In the coming months, President Obama has a unique opportunity to make a series of critical decisions impacting Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. Sign the open letter urging him to enact these four critical policies in his first 100 days:
· Ensure that veterans don't have to fight for funding for hospitals and clinics.
· Prioritize veterans in the economic stimulus package.
· Implement GI Bill transferability.
· Aggressively address troops’ mental health injuries.
Of course, the new president and Congress are overwhelmed with the economy, and President Obama plans on meeting with the Republican leadership today to try to move things forward. That doesn't mean the veterans are on the back burner; in fact, there's things in the stimulus package that may help.
"A summary of a Senate draft stimulus package released Jan. 23 includes about $11.6 billion in defense, homeland security, and veterans-related projects, about $1.1 billion less than the amount included in the House stimulus plan.
The summary indicates that the Senate draft bill would provide at least $5.6 billion for the Defense Department, compared with about $8.8 billion in the House draft.
Of the amount included in the Senate bill, approximately $2.4 billion would be allocated for military construction projects and about $3.3 billion for refurbishment of existing Defense Department buildings, health facilities and other infrastructure.
The Senate summary also indicates that at least $3.4 billion would be allocated for construction of new Veterans Affairs Department hospitals and modernization of treatment centers.
That money would also pay for long-term care facilities and improvements at VA national cemeteries.
The House measure would provide the VA with at least $1 billion, with $950 million of it going toward improvements at existing medical facilities and roughly $50 million for repairs at veterans’ cemeteries."
Lastly this morning, I'll leave you with one veteran's take on the administration just past. Seems like some in uniform are pretty happy that Bush has gone back to Texas, too.
He's leaving the same way he arrived eight years ago: Clueless and somehow unable to discern up from down, right from left and right from wrong.
George W. Bush, who famously styled himself as The Decider, said a formal farewell to America in a nationally televised address from that bully pulpit, the White House.
It was largely a paraphrasing of Frank Sinatra’s rendition of My Way:
"Mistakes there've been a few, but too few to mention . . . ."
The eminence gris of his administration, Dick Cheney, was front and center.
The cowboy president from Crawford, Texas, ticked through his many accomplishments and a few small failures, working diligently to write a first draft of history his way.
He kept America safe somehow, even though he's leaving us with two ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq where American troops and innocent civilians continue to die.
He kept us safe ever since 9/11, the President told us with pride. But what about 9/11 itself, when more than 3,000 people were murdered in their offices or on four airliners?
On whose watch did that assault on Americans, on American soil, take place? Who was it that ignored repeated and specific warnings of an imminent attack on us?
Who was it that spent most of that fateful day getting to and hiding in a subterranean bomb shelter in Omaha, Nebraska?
The departing president informed us that he created jobs and a vibrant economy for most of his time in office. But who is it who's leaving us an economy in dire straits, with more than 3 million home foreclosures in the past year and more than a million American jobs lost in the same period?
He told his audience how proud he was of those who've borne the brunt of service and sacrifice in his wars, the military and their families, and how proud he was to be their commander-in-chief.
But whose administration was it that pinched every penny when it came to pay raises, increased benefits and medical care for those who're serving today and those who sacrificed for us in the past?
He told us that the mission during his eight long years in power was to spread the light of democracy and freedom to the benighted and downtrodden around the globe.
But who was it that told him the best way to do that was with soldiers, tanks, bombs and napalm? Who counseled this man that the best way to spread freedom and democracy abroad was by trampling on individual rights at home and shredding the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights?
He belligerently challenged any notion that his actions abroad have damaged our reputation among the nations of the world. Not true, he declared. America is still the shining city on the hill, still a beacon of democracy and freedom. Where did he get that idea?
Continued...
We'll keep an eye on the new President and what happens with our veterans. He's certainly started out well, but these things will all take time to accomplish. Patience will serve us well these first months of Obama's term.

Lots of weird things going on over there this morning.
Well, I can get log in with old links, but they still won't let me into the liveblog.
I did get an almost immediate reply to my email asking for help, though. (and not the canned Thank you one).

On WEEI's Fatty and the Forehead this morning, the 75000 layoffs were blamed specifically on Barney Frank. 
Though someone tried to call Callahan on that (I don't think he was a caller though, maybe someone in earshot of the studio) - calling them O'Reilly's talking points. Callahan kept talking over him when he tried to ask if that meant that Barney Frank was more powerful that George Bush was.
More layoffs were announced here to happen soon, we just took a 3% layoff two months ago, this one will be about 5% so that's about 100 or so people here gone in the next month.

I've been wondering that about Governor Cuckoo Clock (R-IL [retarded]).
He's on trial. Shouldn't he be present? Isn't that contempt of some kind? Where are the feds with the handcuffs and a ride back to Springfield?

Morally -- He SHOULD be present. But I am of the understanding that this is not a criminal proceeding, so he really does not have to be there.

That's probably the same problem I'm having. Poor George has his hands full this morning. I suppose I could just say I've lost my password, but I didn't and I want to make sure I can get the 'cast tonight. So I'll let everyone else beta-test the site.

I tried mfaye, but it won't let me log in. I sent an email to George and he responded quickly, but I think he's being overwhelmed right now. I'll let everyone else beta-test it. If you go back you can say hi for me.
At the Fortress of Solitude for the rest of the day and tomorrow until we're snowed out (forecast here is for a foot or more), but I'm toying with renaming it either The Gas Chamber or The Freezer. Today, it's the freezer, only 55 degrees in here. Odd, it was 70 in here on Saturday. Maybe it has Bizarro Thermostat, it only works when people aren't supposed to be here.

If conditions on 128 warrant it, yes I'll drive down Main Street from time to time. Sometimes I'll ask the GPS to take the shortest route home from Andover (if I have time to kill), and that does take me down Main Street.

They might be better, but there's WAY too many commercials and the breaks are WAY too long. Besides, by the time the Whiner Line comes on, the transmitter has switched to its night pattern and even though I can see the antennas I can't hear the station.

Ha... Rove Lawyer Says Executive Privledge STILL exists...
One problem... Karl Rove is NOT the president.
Rove's Washington, D.C. lawyer, Robert Luskin, did not return initial email and telephone requests for comment from The Washington Post. But in a statement published early Tuesday morning, he said, "It's generally agreed that former presidents retain executive privilege as to matters occurring during their term. We'll solicit the views of the new White House counsel and, if there is a disagreement, assume that the matter will be resolved among the courts, the president and the former president."

Why couldn't we get rid of him last November? He's the last Republican still in the local Congressional delegation. His sucking up to Bush and his bigoted attacks on Muslims should have been grounds for kicking his ass to the curve.

The amount we get whacked with tomorrow depends very much on the storm track and where you are.
I might live in the area where there will likely be a changeover to rain which holds things down to 3 - 6", but I work where they expect the worst - 12+. And that means a 3 hour commute.
Last time I checked at SMS I still couldn't log in. I'll be VERY unhappy if I can't at least get to the old area to get today's 'cast. No.... make that I'll be VERY ANGRY.....VERY ANGRY INDEED!!!

If anyone ever says that, show them the Pilot Episode to the short lived "The Lone Gunman" series. That episode was about exactly that.

And Red Sox Nation shall pause...
Fenway Park, in Boston, is a lyric little bandbox of a ballpark. Everything is painted green and seems in curiously sharp focus, like the inside of an old-fashioned peeping-type Easter egg. It was built in 1912 and rebuilt in 1934, and offers, as do most Boston artifacts, a compromise between Man's Euclidean determinations and Nature's beguiling irregularities. Its right field is one of the deepest in the American League, while its left field is the shortest; the high left-field wall, three hundred and fifteen feet from home plate along the foul line, virtually thrusts its surface at right-handed hitters. On the afternoon of Wednesday, September 28th, as I took a seat behind third base, a uniformed groundkeeper was treading the top of this wall, picking batting-practice home runs out of the screen, like a mushroom gatherer seen in Wordsworthian perspective on the verge of a cliff. The day was overcast, chill, and uninspirational. The Boston team was the worst in twenty-seven seasons. A jangling medley of incompetent youth and aging competence, the Red Sox were finishing in seventh place only because the Kansas City Athletics had locked them out of the cellar. They were scheduled to play the Baltimore Orioles, a much nimbler blend of May and December, who had been dumped from pennant contention a week before by the insatiable Yankees. I, and 10,453 others, had shown up primarily because this was the Red Sox's last home game of the season, and therefore the last time in all eternity that their regular left fielder, known to the headlines as TED, KID, SPLINTER, THUMPER, TW, and, most cloyingly, MISTER WONDERFUL, would play in Boston. "WHAT WILL WE DO WITHOUT TED? HUB FANS ASK" ran the headline on a newspaper being read by a bulb-nosed cigar smoker a few rows away. Williams' retirement had been announced, doubted (he had been threatening retirement for years), confirmed by Tom Yawkey, the Red Sox owner, and at last widely accepted as the sad but probable truth. He was forty-two and had redeemed his abysmal season of 1959 with a—considering his advanced age—fine one. He had been giving away his gloves and bats and had grudgingly consented to a sentimental ceremony today. This was not necessarily his last game; the Red Sox were scheduled to travel to New York and wind up the season with three games there.

I rarely say this about the opposition party. Fuck 'em. We've got the votes, we can bitch slap them into the weeds. Run roughshod over the bastards until they smile and call us Daddy.

I think Obama's trying to make them look like assholes by being the nice guy and letting America compare. The problem is that America already knows they're assholes; the Republicans seem to wear it as a badge of honor.
It's a little sad that this technique has a better chance of working on Iran.

That's a very interesting idea, Bobber. Yeah they do seem to think being an asshole is something good. I think America is waking up to the fact they are assholes, we are not all the way there yet. I think we will be there when the GOP is reduced to a beeping shell of it's former self that can only get elected in the states that made up the Confederacy and then it is take some doing. Then I think the whole country will be on the same page about the assholery of the Republicans.

Well it appears that the SMS website works (at least from home) but I don't like the fact that my StephSpace name is my email address.

You would think you would get your liveblog handle.

I'm doing the Buffalo-Edmonton game tonight which originally was not going to be televised in Buffalo but they added it last minute by having us ride the Edmonton telecast and just rolling our own commercial breaks.

You do know that hockey & basketball season overlap with baseball season? You just need to have a laser like focus.
