T.M. Lindsey of Iowa Independent has a great write-up of Senator Dodd's meeting with Iowa veterans in Des Moines this past Monday.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Chris Dodd, D.-Conn., could care less about what a politician has to say, but, he cares about what a politician has done. These words ring especially true when it comes to supporting the troops and taking care of veterans and their families. "I get really upset when I hear the Bush administration talk about how much they care about American veterans and soldiers," Dodd told a group of veterans at the Iowa Democratic Party Veteran's Caucus Presidential Extravaganza in Des Moines Monday. "I've spent four different occasions on the Senate floor just to get body armor for those serving in Iraq, only to be defeated every single time by the Republicans, who could not come up with the votes to support the body armor or compensate the families and communities who purchased body armor for their loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan," Dodd said. "The Don Rumsfeld line, `You don't get the Army you deserve, you get the Army you got' reflects this administration's attitude toward our young people, which they placed in difficult situations without even the most basic protection. This is deeply disturbing to me, and when I hear comments about how much they care and compare this with the actions of this administration, these words ring hollow."
