I heard this morning that the federal Veterans Administration (VA) does not accept Medicare Part A or B from elderly veterans.
 
Unless service-connected, when World War II and Korean War veterans go to the Veterans Administration (VA) for health care, they must have valid health insurance in order to pay for their care.  If they do not, they must pay out of their pockets, because the Veterans Administration does not accept Social Security Medicare Part A or B for payments.  
      It's seems extremely strange and unfair that the federal Veterans Administration (VA) will not accept federal Social Security Medicare for payment of elderly veterans health care, but it is true.   If a veteran paid into Social Security, why wouldn't the VA accept Medicare payments?     
    Do you think this is fair to America's elderly veterans?

Slaying of activist by terrorists sounds alarm for women

Thu Sep 28, 7:02 AM ET

Call her the Susan B. Anthony of Afghanistan. Safia Ama Jan fought for women's rights in a chauvinistic society. After the fall of the repressive Taliban regime in late 2001, she pushed women to vote and take part in civic life.

"This country has had two-and-a-half decades during which both males and females have been left uneducated," she said two years ago. "You cannot change their minds overnight. We need some time."

Tragically, Ama Jan didn't get that time.

On Monday, suspected Taliban assassins gunned her down as she went to work in a taxi. The southern Kandahar government, where she ran the women's department, had denied her requests for a bodyguard.

Ama Jan's death at age 65, like the proverbial canary in a coal mine, raises a larger, and very disturbing, question: Is she a symbol of where Afghanistan's fledgling democracy is heading? It's not just that she was a victim of a dangerously resurgent Taliban. She was also facing an uphill battle in her fight for women's rights in Afghan society more broadly.

Her courage, and that of many other Afghan women, was bolstered by the Bush administration after it ousted the Taliban. The United States pushed for democracy and insisted that women take full part. It helped get girls back into school (the Taliban had kept them illiterate and at home) and helped craft a constitution ensuring women one quarter of the seats in the new parliament.

But now, women's equality is moving in the wrong direction. "We do have rights on paper, but we don't have them in reality," Fatima Kazimyan, one women's representative, told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The signs are everywhere. Female members of parliament say they are not taken seriously. Most have been dropped from high government positions.

The most obvious problem is one of declining security. The Taliban are attacking girls' schools.   NATO forces, which have taken over from U.S. troops in the south, are facing fierce battles. Warlords reign in many areas. The heroin trade, which fuels both the Taliban and the warlords, is at an all-time high.

But security concerns can't be an excuse to dim the spotlight on women's rights. On Tuesday, at a news conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Bush lamented Ama Jan's death - to illustrate the nature of the enemy in the war on terror.

Also disturbing, though, is the sidelining of women in the government and courts - hampering their struggle against the spread of harsh sharia law, which denies women most rights. This trend is replicating itself in Iraq, which, under Saddam Hussein's brutal yet secular regime, was one of the Middle East countries where women experienced the least discrimination.

Renewed U.S. focus on the everyday battles of women such as Safia Ama Jan can better honor her and what she fought for - perhaps even, one day, with a coin of her own.

If these terrorists are allowed to come to America, their goals will be the same.   They will kill men, women and children, who do not follow their radical ways.    If a life doesn't mean much to them, civil rights mean even less...    History will prove that Iran is behind much of the terrorism around the world.

Zawahri calls Bush a failure over war on terrorism
 
Recently, Ayman al-Zawahri crawled out of his insect, disease, horse-dung and camel-dung infested cave, between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and screamed his echo into the surrounding mountains that President Bush was a failure on this war on terror.   "We have gained more strength and we are more insistent on martyrdom," he declared to the mountain tops.   Seconds later, Ayman al-Zawahri crawled back into the cave to sit along side his fearless leader, Osama bin Crapen.
       Far-Left Democrat Leaders in Washington DC quickly echoed Ayman al-Zawahri words in the chambers of the US Senate, the US Congress and before the American news media.   Meanwhile, former president Bill Clinton is still furious for being criticized for his own failures...
     We  Are  All  In  This  Together.   On 9-11, it did not matter what political party a person belonged to.  Democrats and Liberals died along side Republicans and Conservatives...

Zawahri calls Bush a failure over war on terrorism

By Firouz Sedarat Fri Sep 29, 5:27 PM ET

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri called President Bush a lying failure for talking of progress in the war on terrorism, according to a video posted on the Internet on Friday.

In the 18-minute tape posted by al Qaeda's media arm al-Sahab, the Egyptian militant leader referred to the arrest of al Qaeda figures such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

"Bush, you are a lying failure and a charlatan. It has been three and-a-half years (since the arrests)...What happened to us? We have gained more strength and we are more insistent on martyrdom," he declared.

"Bush, O failure and liar, why don't you be courageous for once and confront your people and tell them the truth about your losses in Iraq and  Afghanistan?" said Zawahri, wearing a black turban and sitting in front of a banner with Islam's statement of faith: "There is no god but Allah, Mohammad is his prophet."

A U.S. intelligence official in Washington dismissed the video as a "typical al Qaeda propaganda stream" but said analysts were scrutinising its contents for clues that might aid U.S. efforts to track down the militant leader. 

Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA) spokeswoman Michele Neff said: "After conducting a technical analysis of the videotape, the CIA can confirm with confidence that the voice on the tape is that of Ayman al-Zawahri."

In a second portion of the tape, apparently shot at a different location, Zawahri labeled Pope Benedict a "charlatan" because of his remarks on Islam.

"This charlatan accused Islam of being incompatible with rationality while forgetting that his own Christianity is unacceptable to a sensible mind," Zawahri said, this time wearing a white turban.

He also compared the Pope to the 11th century Pope Urban II who backed the first crusade.

In a speech to a university in his native Germany on September 12, Pope Benedict quoted criticism of Islam and the Prophet Mohammad by 14th century Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus, who wrote that Mohammad commanded that Islam be spread by the sword.

HOLY WAR IN DARFUR

Zawahri urged Muslims to launch a holy war against proposed U.N. peacekeepers in Sudan's Darfur region.

"O Muslim nation, come to defend your lands from crusaders masked as United Nations (troops). Nothing will protect you except popular jihad (holy war)," Zawahri said on the video, that showed the date of the Muslim lunar month that ended about a week ago.

The European Commission said on Friday its President Jose Manuel Barroso and a top EU aid official would go to Sudan this weekend to try to persuade Khartoum to allow U.N. peacekeepers into Darfur.

The Sudanese government has repeatedly rebuffed a United Nations offer to send 22,000 peacekeepers to replace an ill-equipped and under-funded African Union force.

Zawahri's last video was issued on the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on U.S. cities by al Qaeda.

Zawahri and al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden are believed to be hiding in tribal borders areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
