Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), co-chairwoman of the Progressive Caucus, is vowing to use the appropriations process to force lawmakers to vote on separate parts of a resolution calling for the immediate withdrawal of U.S. soldiers from Iraq.
The resolution would pay Iraqis reparations of up to $10,000 for damages caused by the war if they made claims; ban American firms from pumping oil in Iraq; cut off funds to build long-term bases in Iraq; pay for the destruction of landmines; and create a House-Senate select committee to study the origins of the war in Iraq.
Lee and Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), the other co-chair of the House Democratic Progressive Caucus, introduced H.R. 508, and they have signed up 28 co-sponsors. Woolsey says she plans to meet next week with House Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-Mo.) to ensure the resolution is considered in committee.
“I want to see this move very quickly,” Lee said.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
Rep. Barbara Lee and Lynn Woosley are both communists and I jsut keep shaking my head at how this great country has let people like this get into our government. Most of you probably know Barbara Lee cast the only No vote against authorizing a military response to 9/11. Barbara also served on national committee of Communist-splinter group Committees of Correspondence. There is a ton of information on Barbara to fill a book of what a good communist is for that lives in our country and her goals for our government. augh!
You broke it, you bought it.
Suricou:
Shari’a is coming to a neighborhood near you. Get out that burqa.
Iraqi reparations? And who’s going to pay for all of this? Us taxpayers, that’s who.
Lee and Woosley have got their heads so far up their posteriors that they have to part their head to go to the bathroom!
Let’s just tax the people to death instead of letting the terrorists blow us to bits!
Yeah, that’s the ticket–tax America into oblivion.
This is not surprising, France wants to tax the United States for not signing the stupid Kyoto Accords, A Carbon tax. now a commie in the House wants to pay for Iraqi reparations… See its all our fault. You can’t make this shit up.
What do you say: we re-install the Vichy Government, and deport Lee to her communist country of Choice, with the proviso, of course, that she can not return.
Its, -1 and my basement is still frozen, Sump pump siezed up and is now frozen in place, only got half my water back, my dog crapped in the house because his ‘doggie-door’ was frozen shut. and this jerk Chirac thinks, ‘We’ are warming the planet.
Can anyone tell me where exactly this global warming is suppose to be taking place ?
It boggles my mind that people elect clowns like Lee and Woosley. How can supposedly educated Americans be so stupid?
Lynn, hahaha good one. Amen you said it, that is exactly how it is going to be if they keep this up.
Suricou, Rhod is right.
Mark, I would love to deport her like you said.
Excellent comment Mark global warming is a bunch of baloney. I hope you get your water back soon. Chirac is such a jerk among other things.
Bob it is scary to me, to realize communists get elected. Very scary and she and Woosley have been around a long time.
I have a contrary theory. As long as we have these sh**-for-brains morons representing sh**-for-brains voters, we’ve avoided someone even worse…someone smart enough and clever enough to get something odious done.
Most Donks, as bad as they are, wouldn’t walk across the street to pee on these two if they were on fire. That’s a good thing. You need to keep an eye on a Pelosi or a Boxer, screwballs like Lee and Woolsey are only there to make you sick when you need to blow a bad lunch.
Rhod that is true, your right. Even as sick and stupid and vile as the Pelosi and Boxers are they are still not the idiots of Barbara Lee and Woosley.
LMAO I just realized the way I said that it sounded like I was talking about jocky shorts or something. hahhaaha
