Gulf War Illness Is REAL

FINALLY, the Congress mandated "Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses" has determined that approximately one in four of the 697,000 U.S. veterans of the Gulf War suffer from "Gulf War Illness." Eighteen years after the war ended, we finally have a thorough reporting of the illnesses that over 170,000 Gulf War One vets have been experiencing for almost two decades. Perhaps now there will be a serious effort by the medical community to find cures for these brave men and women. President George W. Bush has said that he is most proud of leading the selfless men and women in the United States Armed Forces during a time of war. Certainly, he should be most shamed by the lack of care that these same selfless men and women have received before, during, and after he and his father sent them into combat. By the way, CNN was afraid to post these comments in the "comments" section listed below the story on its website: http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/11/17/gulf.war.illness.study/index.html?
