Congress responds to Walter Reed report.

“Seizing on an investigative report by The Washington Post’s Dana Priest and Anne Hull, Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO) will introduce legislation next week to require more frequent inspections of hospitals providing treatment to active-duty military personnel.” Meanwhile, Sens. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) and Patty Murray (D-WA) “wrote to Defense Secretary Robert Gates today demanding an inspector general’s investigation into living conditions for the returning soldiers at Walter Reed.”

The 109th Congress didn't see a problem with the poor conditions of Walter Reed. They just rubber stamped the money for Iraq and the war profiteers never giving a dime to the troops. They sold the lie and the American people brought it.
