Off With The Head
New York Democratic Representative Louise Slaughter has called for the firing of Lt. Gen. Kevin Kiley due to his previous role in the Walter Reed fiasco:
“The outrage of the American public over the conditions at Walter Reed will not be pacified by simply shuffling the deck,” Rep. Slaughter said. “Secretary Gates must immediately remove from command anyone who allowed its facilities to fall into such a state of disrepair.”
It has to be remembered, that General Kiley knew full well what was going on at Walter Reed as far back as 2003.
Shuffling the deck chairs is a tried and true Bush administration tactic. However, when it comes to the health and welfare of the members of the United States armed forces, this cannot be acceptable.
