No Permanent Bases in Iraq
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 |

You either need one where the people are too damn dumb to read the paper and will rely on you to cut and paste the news.....(to what point? If they can't read it in the newspaper, there's no chance they can read it here) Or one where the participants come together for some other purpose other than a recreational pursuit like boating. |
