Walter Reed

For all the talk yesterday about closing Walter Reed hospital yesterday, not one damned journalist or pundit asked the question, "Why are our military folks - active service and vets - waiting so damned long to get any treatment if one of the primary hospitals in this country is no longer needed?"

The happy horseshit cycle is running on triple time on this issue.

What? Did Halliburton offer to build Rummy a new hospital that will cost 4-8 times the planned budget to build? Overcosts are (quite literally) where Halliburton makes its best money. They brag about it.
