A GI education bill for the 21st century. Dramatic expansion of educational benefits to veterans. Most significant expansion of veterans benefits in decades. Nicely done.
This is the bill McCain and Bush opposed. But, they caved in the end and signed onto it.
In other words, the Dems didn't pass shit. The President signed it.
I don't see a link to the bill or it's signing?
Links aren't neccessary for things that are common knowlege, and are reported everywhere except perhaps the news sources you rely on: NewsMax, FreeRepublic, and Rush Limbaugh.
What kind of veteran are you, that you aren't aware of the most significant veteran's legislation passed in generations?
This is the GI bill that McCain, BUsh, and half the republicans on this board oppossed a month ago. The dems finally put the legislation embedded into the iraq war supplemental, knowing that bush would sign for more money for iraq.

We're the retired kind that the this legislation has no impact on.
No one opposed the legislation. I oppose it being attached to another piece of legislation, regardless the reason, or who did it.
I also opposed then the same thing I do now ... you and your ilk politicizing it.
Saying he takes "a back seat to no one in my affection, respect and devotion to veterans," McCain said Webb's bill would be a disincentive for service members to become noncommissioned officers, which he called "the backbone of all the services."
For example, when the GI Bill Bill (God that sounds weird... .anyway) was first discussed and oppositions were announced in May...
So as usual the Liberals hijack needed legislation to tack on their bullshit. Thanks for sharing.
And had it been separate from the War Funds and been on it's own two legs would you oppose it or support it?We're the retired kind that the this legislation has no impact on.

Personally I think Bush said I got 6 months left in office, fuck it, let the next guy deal with the funding. But regardless, credit should be given where it is due. Had Bush not signed it, the benefits would not have been passed. Good for him.That isn't accurate. McCain opposed the Bill. Bush had no business including his name in the Bill's supporters.

I always find it amusing how all right wingers have to do is say "we never said that"... or "we supported ... yadda yadda yadda" and the base says "oh yeah"... regardless of what was actually done or said.
*shakes head*
