HE EFFING HELPED CREATE THE SITUATION! why within the past couple of weeks, when the shortcomings of walter reed were pointed out to kiley, he poo pooed it and said, thaings ain't so dern bad.
sure for HIM they weren't so bad *YET, i sure do hope he gets put on the hot seat). he was living in a nice home (i am guessing at that part) while right across the street WOUNDED VETERANS were living in squalor (and i'm NOT guessing about that part).
i cannot see how the powers that be can continue to allow this dude to run anything much less walter reed
HE'S GOT TO GO
Walter Reed Hearing to Put Spotlight on Kiley's Leadership
By Josh White Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, March 5, 2007; Page A09
When the first congressional hearing about the care of wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center opens this morning in a campus auditorium, many eyes will turn to Lt. Gen. Kevin C. Kiley, who has served as the Army's top doctor since he gave up command of the hospital in 2004. The hearing will allow Kiley to explain why bureaucratic tangles and horrid conditions made life so difficult for outpatients at the Army's premier hospital, while also likely putting him in a position of defending his job.
Though members of Congress have called for Kiley to step down and take responsibility for the problems at Walter Reed, he has been spared so far. Other leaders have not been so fortunate: Maj. Gen. George W. Weightman, the hospital's commander the past six months, was fired on Thursday, and Army Secretary Francis J. Harvey was forced to resign on Friday, in part because he appointed Kiley to temporarily take over Weightman's job.......
............Kiley said the problems "weren't serious and there weren't a lot of them," .........
............Critics argue that his indifference exacerbated the problems; supporters say that he is the only person who can turn the situation around................

As we're seeing from reports pouring in from across the country, Walter Reed is not the exception, but the rule. This is larger than one man's responsibility. This goes to the core of the group-think in the Bush Administration that puts more emphasis on finding ways to put our troops into untenable situations than it does taking time to figure out how to help and care for those who make it home.
I've been watching some of the hearing today and I'm just horrified. We enlist the underprivileged, we treat them badly, we send them to an illegal war, we get them severely wounded, then we refuse to give them adequate care and force them to live in disease ridden squalor.
Rats? Mold? WTF??
lp and rick
heads should roll and they will (since there is NO choice, this has been made VERY public) BUT of course they will be the WRONG heads. the little heads. the disposible heads. NOT the real heads
