Consider the source of the information.

Nice hit piece..

[Bahbah]

I do not trust any information coming from Dana Priest.

[bnelson44]

They have video at the link. I suppose some DC FReepers could drive down and look the place over.

I use the VA hospital in Biloxi, Mississippi. It was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Today it is expanding and in excellent condition. This article is BS!!

I remember waking up in a tent … glad I was able to see anything. Never complained about the accommodations, just glad to be alive (VN).

Heads up ping. How about a work party to do a Jimmah Carter Habitat for Soldiers repair?

[Grizzled Bear]

And yet Murtha and Pelosi, who "support the troops" want to cut funding.

This might be one reason there is army also at the Naval Medical Center here in San Diego. This hospital is state of the art.

Considering who wrote it, I can't bring myself to click on the link.

I am torn between feeling that I would be supporting a real POS by clicking on it, and on the other hand, feeling like Howard Hughes trying to leave a bathroom without having any paper towels available in order to avoid touching the doorknob. I would have to clean my computer after visiting that site.

[SoCalPol]

In reality they are closing soon Walter Reed
This has been in the news for some time.

[rlmorel]

Right...to be honest, having spent a great deal of my life in and around military facilities, I know how literally ratty they can be.

[ishabibble]

Funny that the Walter Reed FReepers are celebrating the rout of the Pinko, and this shows up in the WaPo.

drip..drip..drip The traitors seek to wear Americans down one sorry slanted story at a time.

Dana Priest belongs at the end of a rope, right next to Mary McCarthy. How about a front page story about treason?

[DJ Taylor]

It looks like Washington Post reporters have done it again. They went into Walter Reed with the agenda to make Walter Reed look bad, and they only recorded people and incidents that would support their agenda. Of course, Walter Reed is not perfect, nothing is. But for reporters to only focus on the negative and ignore the positive is so typical of our MSM during this WOT.

This is nothing new. General William Tecumseh Sherman once said, "I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I killed them all there would be news from Hell before breakfast."

[Elsiejay]

This is intended to provide support for Murtha's forthcoming propaganda campaign.

[DakotaRed]

IF the building is in such disrepair, we are to accept it has only gotten that way since Bush has been in office?

Haven't the Dems been bragging about all the do for Vets? Did Clinton ever propose upgrades over 8 years?

The Dems controlled Congress for 40 years, what did they do for it?

Sensationalsim at its height to demonize Republicans another time. Sadly, sheeple fall for it.

[fantom]

Good . Let Bertha be the national face of the democrat party. There is no way on earth the majority of this beauty obsessed nation will be driven to action by this bloated ,way over the hill porcine lunatic. Good lord have you seen this thing on TV ? On the other hand just because some feel that the hospital facilities are not adequate for our wounded hero's , there is no reason for knee jerk attacks. Relax koolaid people not everything is an attack on your boy.

Hey Dana you cheap bastard, did you treat the troops there at Bldg 18 to even a simple box of donuts? You got to use them for your propaganda, at least do something for them.

Or didn't your socialist mindset prevent you from considering anyone but HillaryCare from solving their problems.

If it's as depressing a place as you say and if liberals are as compassionate as they claim, where's Jimmuah Carter and his hammer when Bldg 18 could use them?

[Doctor Raoul]

LOL, GMTA!!!
