Russia Ready To Withdraw From The INF

   It's 2 in the morning on the east coast of the good old USA! I should be in bed but I guess that the 4 gallons of coffee that I drank on Tuesday is not going to let me sleep anytime soon.

   A story from 1913 Intel  says that Russia is on the verge of withdrawing from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) for two reasons. The first being because Poland, along with the Czech Republic are more than likely going to get approval for their ballistic missile defense (BMD) installations to be put into place by the U.S.

   The second reason being that Moscow has been waiting to hear from Washington on whether new negotiations will be started in order to renew the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which is set to expire in 2009. So far, Moscow is getting the cold shoulder from the "hoods in the house". White House, that is.

    You just have to love this administration. Just like a cancerous growth!

   Condi rice is supposed to be the expert on Russia so what the hell has she been doing trying to play smart in the middle east?

Bush Orders Review Into Treatment Of Wounded Troops

   It is a shame that it took a newspaper report to get the government and our military to do anything to help our wounded troops who have been in Walter Reed living in such a miserable environment.

   If this had been a civilian hospital it would have been closed down!

   Finally, we hear this from Bushco.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration ordered a review on Tuesday of the care of wounded U.S. troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan after reports that many face neglect in the Army's medical system.

  Democrats controlling Congress demanded a thorough investigation and promised legislation after a Washington Post series exposed deteriorating conditions for hundreds of outpatients at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, the premier U.S. military hospital.

The controversy poses a public relations problem for President George W. Bush, who has spoken often of America's debt to military personnel wounded in the wars, visited the hospital's wards and honored military amputees at White House functions.

The White House expressed concern at conditions for veterans after reports that many suffering physical and psychological problems lived in shoddy housing on or near the sprawling complex and faced long battles with Army bureaucracy.
