Murray warns of crush on VA Iraq War Friday, 19 January 2007 Surge in Iraq will affect returning soldiers health care, senator says Washington, The News Tribune, Jan. 12 - A White House plan to send additional U.S. troops to Iraq will only increase the burden on an already overstressed Department of Veterans Affairs, Sen. Patty Murray warned Thursday, saying soldiers returning from combat already face long delays in securing benefits and health care. The president is asking for 21,000 additional troops, said the Evergreen State Democrat, one of Capitol Hills sharpest critics of the administrations veterans polices. We need to know what the cost will be. Murray joined a group of veterans at a news conference sponsored by a new coalition called Americans Against Escalation in Iraq. The coalition includes such groups as VoteVets.org, MoveOn.org Political Action and the Service Employees International Union.
