Preying On The Wounded

This is obscene:

The Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., the current home of hundreds of wounded veterans from the war in Iraq, has been the target of weekly anti-war demonstrations since March. The protesters hold signs that read "Maimed for Lies" and "Enlist here and die for Halliburton."

The anti-war demonstrators, who obtain their protest permits from the Washington, D.C., police department, position themselves directly in front of the main entrance to the Army Medical Center, which is located in northwest D.C., about five miles from the White House.

Among the props used by the protesters are mock caskets, lined up on the sidewalk to represent the death toll in Iraq.

This is the mainstream of the Democrat Party, folks. And Cindy Sheehan is its poster-gargoyle.

Of course, that makes the Base-Closing Commission's decision to shut Walter Reed's doors bitterly ill-timed. Here's hoping President Bush reverses that one.
