Reading your opinion of Breach of trust by the CIA. Cia Director John Brennan ate his words.
President Obama needs to eat his words. Our Opinion
Our Opinion 7 August 14
Broken Promises
From Obama’s speech in Kansas City, Missouri, August 21, 2007: “Keeping faith with those who serve must always be a core American value and a cornerstone of American patriotism. Because America’s commitment to its servicemen and women begins at enlistment, and it must never end.”
From the Obama-Biden Plan: “Fulfilling a Sacred Trust With Our Veterans”, September 9, 2008: “As president, Obama will meet early in the budgeting process each year with congressional leaders and the nation’s leading Veterans’ Service Organizations (VSOs) to ensure the VA budget is always given ‘must-pass’ status.”
If yearly budget meetings were held, they should have uncovered the systemic problems the VA is now facing.
I feel for five years no one has tracked a plan, measured goals or asked questions.
