If they get the Purple Heart, that means they were wounded in combat. If they were wounded in combat, psycho-doc was an enemy combatant, not a psycho-doc. If Obambi vetos the Purple Heart bill, he looks like crap. If he signs it, there was a terrorist attack on US soil, and he looks worse. Obama: Is there some way I can vote “present”?
I predict he will neither sign it or veto it, and the bill will lapse into law after the constitutional time period passes.

Quite the pickle.
Do you really think this bill will ever get to his desk?
My take on this is that if the Purple Hearts are awarded that means this was in fact a terrorist attack. By awarding these medals, Obama would be conceding that Dick Cheney was right when hs said we, as a nation, are less safe today than we were under the Bush administration.
On the other hand, I'd hate to be the congress critter that votes no on this effort. There will have to be some rule implemented that keep this bill from ever seeing the light of day.
