CONSERVATIVE CRITICIZES BUSH TREATMENT OF VETERANS:

Earlier this month, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) was stripped of his chairmanship of the Veterans Affairs Committee after he voiced concern that the White House was shortchanging health care for America's veterans. As Smith said, his dismissal from the chairmanship "all came down to the fact I wanted to spend too much on veterans." Smith said, "I am not a yes man. I am a loyal Republican who believes in fighting for good public policy and that is the best way to show loyalty."
