I can understand people getting emotional over this issue, but the intentional misleading, IMHO, by the original poster of this thread is way over the top.

I would say it is closer to the mark than you realize. You have to understand - and it has been said time and time again in this forum - that one of Bush's top qualities in his selections is LOYALTY. As such, the his top advisors invariably have his mindset a mutual understanding of Bush's policy. If his top advisors are recommending to toss this support for disabled vets, then it is VERY LIKELY Bush himself wants to veto it.
