Of course we "support" the troops...

So say the Democrats in Congress. But when you ask them to do the right thing for the troops all of a sudden the troops needs take a back seat to scoring political points!

"(Sen. Elizabeth )Dole wants to force the secretary of the Navy to locate and notify Marines and civilians who were exposed to the water up until the mid-1980s when the base shut down contaminated wells.
The notification requirement was in an amendment she offered Wednesday to a broad military money bill before the legislation was pulled from the floor in a showdown over Iraq. The larger bill may be back as soon as September.
Government health officials have estimated as many as 1 million people may have been exposed during three decades of water contamination going back to 1957, a situation examined in a recent Associated Press investigation. The numbers include Marines in barracks and military families living on the sprawling Atlantic training and deployment base, and civilians who worked there."

But whatever you do, don't question their patriotism or their support of the troops......
