Well it has been 2 full days now
of panic releases coming from Senator Daniel Akaka's office over issues of PTSD and TBI findings which are showing him up to be the total ineffective YUTZ! of the day and played for a fool at every turn by the VA. Scurrying around apparently trying to save his own image for being too cajolling, too Ole Boy, too ineffective, and too Smiley Face at the oversight hearings of the VA, and shall I add: too suckered in by the all-too smoth lines which the VA officials are all too often handed out at these Senate hearings that we are all forced to sit through. Akaka has been clubbed over the head with the reality first that Dr. Ira Katz of the Mental Disorders division will not likely resign just because those in the Senate barked out such a demand. Hey, Daniel, Welcome to OUR World! Then the VA Inspector General turns around the very next day to unveil a report showing that the VA is still taking full responsibility for Traumatic Brain Injury cases. This has sent Senator Daniel into a frenzy. The truth is, the entire Vet Center idea at the VA is a complete failure. I reported out during the VDBC Commission hearings that the guy who is the top dog of the Vet Centers, is himself a complete TrainWreck. Yes he is a Veteran and I cannot even tell you that he is a licensed psychiatrist. He has neurological problems leaving him inarticulate and barely comprehendable. So it's no surprise to this Activist that it's the Vet Centers where all of the problems are coming from. Senator Akaka has been touting his new funding Bill of S. 2162 which is to beef up the flow of money and to increase the number of National PTSD Centers in the VA site inventory. Big deal if the ones which are working are not even doing their jobs to begin with. Excuse me but I just don't get it. This is like taking something that is totally DUMB, and then throwing more DUMB into it so it will work better. I say: H--U--H ?? Then he wants to throw his other bill, S. 2799 which is a Womens Veteran treatment bill, special emphasis on Iraq and Afghanistan, also out in the middle of this to continue the charade that somehow the BACKLOGGED womens cases are actually being taken care of. Of course if you are NOT working on the BACKLOG, then those women still do sit. The problem at hand here is Senator Daniel Akaka is too busy sucking up to the VA, and sucking up to the VSO's, and yet time and time again, day after day, these are the very 2 places which are coming back to kick him in the pants and show him what a disconnected FOOL he really is for even listening to them. As the former Lead Activist at the VDBC Commission hearings who was the first out of the gate to argue, argue, and argue the new issue of Vet Suicides and Premature Death, I am happy that these issues were finally seized by the CORPORATE fools who sat around for all eternity while this crisis grew and flourished as they all sat with their Blank faces when it was their turn to come to the hearing microphone. If ya look around in this very Forum, you will find that nearly 1/4th of all my VDBC speeches made reference to Vet Suicides and premature death. So in this regard, Senator Daniel, you are preaching to the CHOIR just to give you a heads up!! Ineffective, inadequate, uncommanding, and not forceful enough Senate Oversight Hearings is what we have all be getting out of this guy, and perhaps after he crashes and burns enough times with his Fame-Monkey ways, he will finally wake up and start imposing legislation which is broad and sweeping policy that is NOT "one-at-a-time" and reactionary to first one VA fire, then another, then another, then another. Senator Daniel Akaka: Get your head out of the news media and start kicking this VA and the bungled and incompetent VSO's right in the pants.
