"Morale is High??"

Little Rock - In a speech in Little Rock today President Bush suggested that troop morale was high.

Morale is high?

Last week, Mr. Bush alerted another 43,000 reservists and National Guard troops that they could be called up for a one year tour in Iraq.

Twenty percent of National Guardsmen and reservists don't have health care when they're not on active duty.

The Bush Administration has proposed closing schools on bases.

Reservists' and National Guardsmen's families are struggling to make ends meet.

And President Bush has no clear strategy to clean up the mess in Iraq.

A recent survey of 1,935 soldiers in Iraq published last week by the military newspaper Stars and Stripes found that 49 percent rated morale in their unit as low or very low.

"Morale is high? It's easy for Mr. Bush to tell donors at a $2000 a plate fundraiser that morale is high," said Communication Director Matt Bennett. "I'd love to see what he has to say the nearly 400 grieving families who've lost a loved one and the 1,800 soldiers recovering from their wounds."
