Subject: SHIT: just 6 hours short !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 729 days of serving in the Minnisota National Guard stationed in Iraq there are 2,168 soldiers that fell 6 hours short of the 730 day limit (BY US MILITARY CONTRACT) that would have made them eligible for the tuition assitence GI bill that they were hoping to get since signing up.

Sorry Charlie, if you think you have it tough there are 16 million poor kids in the USA who will not get health insurance since it costs about 3 weeks of the money spent waging war in Iraq per year.

Jon Anderson a Lt. in the MN Nat. Guard says the snafu to deny his troops the GI bill was intentional. How on earth can he know that?????????????????
Well Jon you can't have a war and eat it too. Maybe he is one of those phoney soldiers Rush talks about. The S chip is now shit since W vetoed it yesterday. sorry kids.

which leads us to
Congressman Murtha who was contacted by the Rush Limbaugh people about punishing people who misquote Rush. Murtha asked " Are you supporting my War Tax bill?" They said "NO". He said that they should if they are in favor of keeping this war going and fully funded. The War Tax bill would pay for the war now instead of borrowing the money from China and quadrupling the cost that is being passed down for the next 2 generations.
