Representative Jack Murtha, of the Democratic Party, wants to legislate a required one-year leave for troops rotating out of a combat theater. George Bush and the GOP chickenhawks want to send, and have sent, broken soldiers back into the theater as soon as possible.

The Loyal Bushies talk about clear skies and healthy forests when they really mean more pollution and fewer trees. They say they want to save Social Security as they plot to eliminate it. So, it makes sense to them to cut back on military training, equipment and medical care and call it “supporting the troops.”
