U.S. Commander Says Coalition Dogs Starving In Iraq

This just breaks my heart.

Of course, humans come first, but these animals can't get fed even the cheap dogfood?

Was NO planning done? It's all a nightmare over there.

Soldier Begging For Dog Food For Deployed Dogs

POSTED: 2:58 pm EST January 5, 2005

LAS VEGAS -- The commander of an Army Reserve detachment is begging friends back home to send food for Iraqi police dogs.

"The dogs are starving and urgently need dry dog food," Capt. Gabriella Cook, commander of the Las Vegas-based 313th Military Police Detachment, said in a Dec. 28 e-mail reported Wednesday by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "Some of them have already died," Cook wrote. "Half of them are sick. We have no way of buying actual dog food here."

Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., a veterinarian, directed a legislative aide to contact an Army liaison to investigate, a spokesman for the senator said. But when contacted Wednesday, his office said they were unsure where to send donations and that they are looking into it.

"If securing the country entails having security dogs that are healthy, then we should do that," Muratore said. "Surely there's space on a C-130 to get a pallet of dog food over there."

1. This makes me sick! A nation is judged by how it treats those less

fortunate, and I include dumb animals in that, and we have failed in every humanitarian sense.

They don't call them chickenhawks for nothing.

Probably they taste like . . . chicken.
