Bush Apologizes For Military Hospital

So, the guy goes in, sees the mess, apologizes for it and vows to fix it, yet there's still critics? So tell me then, what could Bush have said/done to smooth over the scandal and fix the problem without getting critics? He's the President of the USA, his schedule is full out months in advance. With a war going on, the economy, the British sailors issue, and more on his plate, I think 6 weeks is pretty quick for visiting a place like this.

Of course, there's no excuse for soldiers not getting state of the art medical treatment. There's no excuse for mold on walls and soldiers having to wait months for tests and surgeries that are needed now. There shouldn't be paperwork at all for a soldier to deal with. You need surgery, you get surgery. You need psychological help from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? How's your schedule look? We'll see you as soon as you'd like. That's the kind of treatment they deserve.

I work with a retired veteran and he has to go to the military hospital in my area from time to time and he's told me of many delays for various reasons and it's all unacceptable. Bush has PROMISED to fix it. If he does, then the critics don't really have a valid argument anymore.
