Clinton calls for new GI Bill of Rights
Hillary Rodham Clinton is offering a new GI "Bill of Rights" that calls for better troop benefits and more help for their families.

The New York senator says she would put together a number of proposals aimed at making sure troops have all the equipment they need when they're deployed, and that they get proper health care.

Clinton's remarks to a Washington think tank come in the wake of the flap over conditions at outpatient facilities at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Clinton says if President Bush doesn't take responsibility for seeking improvements, "the next president will."

1. Another bush legacy
Lied to start a war which created more patients. Did not plan for more patients. Four years later, fakes outrage at conditions of Army Hospital.

3. I would like to see a punishment included for the violation of this Soldier Protection Resolution..
The blatant disregard for human lives by this president, who walks around scott-free, while hundreds die everyday, is absolutely beyond the pale. There are no words to describe the shock and horror I feel, over the helplessness of the greatest nation in the world, hamstrung, held hostage, to a brutal dictatorship with free reign to destroy at will.

Can we endure 2 more years of this brutal punishment? I can only hope.
