Gohmert on Dems Blaming Bush For VA: We Lost More Troops in Afghanistan Under Obama

REP. LOUIE GOHMERT (R-TX): Let me also comment, Eric, on something our former Speaker has said where she is saying well, you know, the VA is just overrun, that maybe president -- she's basically saying President Bush should have counted the costs before he went to war. Well, let me tell you, let me talk about just comment on that cost. President Bush as commander lost 625 precious American lives in Afghanistan in 7.25 years.

This president, because of his incompetence, because of his standing orders on the rules of engagement and a lot of other issues relating to the president as commander, we have lost 1628 American lives under his command in 5.25 years, about two years less. And under President Bush we had 2638 soldiers who were wounded badly and under this president and two years less, 16,366. And in fact, in his busy day he had talking about, oh, travel delays and things like that, he has averaged about eight and a half serious wounded Americans per day, 17 every two days, under his command. So it was kind of difficult for President Bush to count the cost and anticipate you would have an incompetent commander in chief after he left office.

Feb 27th? Ya gotta be shittin' me!!!!

The cause of this problem is not money.  It is poor management from the top down.  In fact, the top managers in the VA are being payed too much for the results they are getting, especially in bonus money.  They are cooking the books in order not to lose that bonus money.

And the obumbler doesn't give a shit about veterans or the military, unless he can use them for political gain anyway.
