Vanity keeps people from admitting they've been wrong. Pride will not let them believe they have been. The President & his team, most in Congress, and some common people suffer from this refusal to be honest with themselves. This is how they protect their egos - and that is all those who ignore the truth have left at the end of the day.

These men and women, generally meaning the best, choose to ignore and discard any negative news coming from Iraq as biased against anything from the military, the war, or the President."

The Pentagon has a disturbing pattern of withholding information on the impact of chemical/biological weapons and other toxins on US service members. As a result, veterans are often told that their debilitating symptoms are "in their head" and can go decades without receiving medical help. That's not supporting our troops.

So let me get this straight. Sessions, McConnell, and other Republicans have "no problem" using our soldiers as "pawns" in their chess game of war funding, just as long as Bush gets these "pawns" out of Iraq early enough before the next election. That's outrageous!
