[spanone]

shinseki is the guy who said if we invade iraq it will take hundreds of thousands of troops to maintain the peace and was fired for his thoughts.....

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President-elect Barack Obama will nominate retired Gen. Eric Shinseki to be secretary of Veterans Affairs, two Democratic sources said Saturday.

Obama was expected to make the formal announcement Sunday -- Pearl Harbor Day -- at a news conference in Chicago. Veterans groups appeared to support the selection.

"I am excited. I don't know him personally but this is a huge move," said Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

For years, Shinseki, a highly decorated Vietnam veteran, has been the patron saint of Pentagon critics who say the former Army chief's sage advice was ignored in 2003, resulting in too few U.S. troops being sent to Iraq after the invasion.

4. Republicon chickenhawks have treated our US veterans like shit for 8 long years

Finally, our sons and daughters who are veterans may be getting a fair deal now that the republicons have been tossed out on their lard butts. Let's hope so.

6. For those who doubt in despair, never say it's over

This is just one crumbling brick in the fall of the House of Bush and the House of Cheney.

11. But there is never enough money, so their future wealth is in question

They can see those dollar bills with wings flying away. Greed is never, ever satiated. If it were they would have stopped long ago, having made 'theirs'.
