The failure at the VA is intentional to prove "government" can't do anything right....

28. Regardless of how long it has been broken

Does that still mean that the current people in charge should not be held responsible?
That, frankly, in BS. Shinseki has been in charge for 5 years, and he should have at least STARTED an investigation before it became public. And if he truly did not know, then that is unacceptable.

In the back of my mind, all I hear is "Heck of a job Brownie". FEMA had problems for years before Hurricane Katrina, yet when they became apparent to the American public, it was obvious that he had to go.

If the Dr in Arizona would not have blown the whistle, would Shinseki have let this go on?

All of the focus right now is on the waiting lists, but in my opinion the worse scandal is the Texas VA which missed many cases of colon cancer because the heads of that VA decided only people with 3 consecutive fecal occult test were positive before a colonoscopy could be performed.

When people DIE (in case of both VA Phoenix, and VA Texas) someone MUST be held responsible, and in the case of Shinseki, the buck now stops with him.

I don't care if the Bush VA was bad to, his people aren't in charge now, and they have not been for 5 fricking years!
