"Wall of the Fallen" Full

Fort Wayne News-Sentinel

Congress already has run out of space on a memorial created last year to honor all of the U.S. service members killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In a grim sign of the times, the "Wall of the Fallen," set up by House Republican leaders in June, is almost full. The mounting death toll from Iraq has forced U.S. House staffers to study how to reconfigure the display in the lobby of the Rayburn Building - the largest office building for members of Congress - to squeeze in more names.

A perfect example of Repug "planning".

Note to House Repugs: replace the names at half their present size. Then you can get 7000 names on the Wall. You can halve their size again later when you need to.
