House Passes Lee Bill to Ban Permanent Bases in Iraq

WASHINGTON - JULY 25

Today, by a vote of 399-24, the House passed legislation introduced by
Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) to prevent permanent military
bases in Iraq and bar U.S. control over Iraqi oil resources.

Lee's bill, H.R. 2929, declares that it is the policy of the United
States not to establish any military installation or base for the
purpose of providing for the permanent stationing of United States
Armed Forces in Iraq and not to exercise United States control of the
oil resources of Iraq and prohibits the use of funds for these
purposes.

Damned clever way of Congress to send a message to Bush/Cheney, who
obviously still have designs on that oil.

I bet there's a bunch of neocons running around trying to figure out how
to create a private standing army to protect American (corporate) oil
interests.

jps

Of course, the whole "we are only there for oil" being totally
debunked, this bill is just another waste of time. As I sit here dying
because I can not burden my family with the treatments and tests I
need, watching illegals get the same for free, I get sick to see what
the most deplorable and corrupt congress in history is not doing...



Were it not for the Republicans, we would have had a form of national
health insurance for those who need it 15 years ago. Every so often,
someone who posts here claims that anyone who needs access to health
care can get it in this country. That is absolute, total, complete b.s.

You have to pay for the care if you have money. That is the only
requirement. IF no money, get the care and not payment required.

What the hell are you talking about. I have been paying off bills, and
aquiring new ones for 5 years now. I don't have the money, but I still
gotta' pay, just can't afford to continue recieving care. I am glad
you don't know what the hell you are talking about here, I hope none
of you ever really have to.

Don't take Kalif Bill too seriously, especially after the sun passes over

You drunk again? You drinking with your buddy HK? Damn, you appear to
always be drunk. Fact is I have not had anything to drink since SWMBO and I
split a 1/2 liter of nice Salt Spring Island wine while eating some great
Vancouver Island lamb chops at House Piccolo in Ganges. And the bill was
more than you could spend on dinner. As to drinking, rarely imbibe. What
is your excuse for always sounding drunk? Just stupid?

IF YOU HAVE NO ASSETS and live week to week on your paycheck, you need not
worry about your medical bills. They are not going to sue you, as what
would they get? If you have the potential of making lots more money in the
future e.g. You are going to university, they will go after future earnings.
Same as having car insurance. The law in Calif. says you have to have
insurance to drive a car. But if you get caught with no insurance, the
penalty is nada. And if you crash into someone, they will not sue as you
have nothing to sue for.

It doesn't work that way for major health care.

Actually it does. It is just that you have some assets. If you go on
welfare, then the public picks up the tab. In California, you can even get
a sex change operation under the MediCal program. As well as those in
prison can get the same features.

Sorry, I am not willing to put my family on welfare because I made bad
health decisions as a kid. And I am not a scumbag. And as to your sex
changes et al, we should not be paying for frivilous sex toys for
prisioners.
