The Poodle loyally follows his master.
Even into places he should know not to go. The WaPo details how Tony Blair has imitated Our Dear Embattled Leader even to the way the Brits treat their wounded soldiers.
British soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan are receiving "appallingly" poor care in British hospitals, according to families who have made complaints similar to those leveled against the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.Walter Reed had a soldier lying in his own urine and the Brits have one lying in his own shit. It's been close to 100 years since military medicine was this bad but conservatives do so love to live in the past.
"We gloriously see them off to war and then neglect them when they come back," said Phillip Cooper, whose son, Jamie, 18, is an soldier who was severely injured in a mortar attack in Iraq in November. "They lay down their lives for their country, then they get treated appallingly."
Detailing a long list of problems in his son's care during a telephone interview, Cooper said his son's colostomy bag has been allowed to overflow twice, forcing him to lie in his own feces. On one occasion, Cooper said he and his wife changed the bag themselves after nurses on duty at the Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham, Britain's principal medical center tending to wounded soldiers, said they did not know how.
