This is what the White House and Americans mean by Support our Troops or as Dick Cheney said So.
We have so many soldiers who are allowed to die based on White House lies as Americans just look for their rebate checks. Thousands of soldiers are still not getting medical care or equipment but the White House is giving out money like it grows on trees to the crooks and Iraq.
