General Shenseki: should have listened to him in the past, we should give him more funding now!

So Dick Cheney, the guy without a heart, has called Pres Obama "weak," and want General Shenseki fired.  From the past: Gen Shenseki was the commander who told Bush and Cheney that we needed 200,000 troops to invade Iraq, and 300,000 to occupy it for 10 years.  They fired him!  They went with a General who told them what they wanted to hear.  7,000 dead soldiers later, General Shenseki was proved right, unfortunately and tragically.  actually its not tragic: Bush and Cheney should have listened to the General, it was political expediency that dictated the invasion of Iraq (and having troops on the ground for the 2004 re election campaign, compliments of Karl Rove).

So now Cheney wants Shenseki fired from the VA:  The VA has always been underfunded, and with the number of veterans you would think a priority of Congress (the House controlled by Republicans) would be to give the VA all the funds its needs, including funds to hire more front line care givers (like nurses and specialist physicians).

Cheney speaks out in his desire to cover his stupid ass:  Bush and Cheney will go down as perhaps the worst duo in Presidential history.  His attacks on Obama, and now Shenseki, are pathetic.
