one of the bits of info that sheds a little light on the situation is that Shinseki wanted Congress to pass a bill giving him more authority to fire managers. Wait, really? The VA Secretary doesn’t have a free hand to hire and fire? No wonder there are problems.
Maybe Bush43, Rummy and Dick should have done a better job of planning for casualties when they lied us into the Iraq War. Of course, they pretty much screwed up everything else about that war (and the Afghan war by starting a second front), so it’s no surprise they screwed veterans here too. Wonder how long Bush43 had to wait to get into a VA facility for his knee replacement.
