GOP Abandons Our Military (Again), Appeases Barbaric Insurgents
Astonishingly -- especially after the "U.S. Says 2 Bodies Retrieved in Iraq Were Brutalized" -- Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), concerned that Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) wants to appease the Iraqi government -- had to bring a resolution (S. 2766, On the Amendment S. Amdt. 4265) to the Senate floor yesterday to "express the sense of Congress that the Government of Iraq should not grant amnesty to persons known to have attacked, killed, or wounded members of the Armed Forces of the United States."

Nineteen "pro-war" Republicans voted nay on Nelson's resolution:

Here at home, we have our own war to fight. We must get rid of the GOP leadership in Congress and the White House -- who prioritize appeasing that imaginary Iraqi government they've installed inside the Green Zone over JUSTICE for our soldiers. Our over-exploited and under-aided soldiers and veterans deserve better.

Make the GOP pay. Just like they've made our soldiers and veterans pay.
