Democrats use weekly radio address to attack Bush

WASHINGTON -- The Democrats have enlisted a retired Marine general to attack the Bush administration on Veterans Day over its care for the nation's vets.

Retired Marine General Joseph Hoar used the Democrats' weekly radio address to say President Bush consistently refuses to provide enough money for veterans' health care.

The former U-S military commander in the Middle East also says the White House isn't taking steps to provide adequate mental health care for soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. He says thousands will need it.
