The Pentagon has a disturbing pattern of withholding information on the impact of chemical/biological weapons and other toxins on US service members. As a result, veterans are often told that their debilitating symptoms are "in their head" and can go decades without receiving medical help. That's not supporting our troops.

As the much too familiar saying goes: "In war there are no winners, only losers". This is plain to see as we have all witnessed incredible loss due to the war in Iraq

So let me get this straight. Sessions, McConnell, and other Republicans have "no problem" using our soldiers as "pawns" in their chess game of war funding, just as long as Bush gets these "pawns" out of Iraq early enough before the next election. That's outrageous!

The mortality rate among Iraqi children younger than 5 rose 150 percent between 1990 and 2005, according to a report released this month by the U.S. humanitarian aid group Save the Children. In its most startling terms, the group estimates that 1 in 8 never makes it to his or her fifth birthday.

Of course our government didn't intend to commit genocide, it just sort of happened. The Iraqis kept getting in the way while we were trying to complete the mission. Mistakes were made as we were building democracy, but surely no genocide was intended.

Two wars and a decade of sanctions have led to a huge rise in the mortality rate among young children in Iraq, leaving statistics that were once the envy of the Arab world now comparable with those of sub-Saharan Africa.

Repairs have made the national park in Washington state accessible again. But winter storms have left it a more primitive -- and dangerous -- place. Last fall's torrential rain, 18 inches in 36 hours, washed away bridges and roads, obliterated hiking trails and destroyed campgrounds. The damage is estimated at $36 million.
