BU$H just 'pocket vetoed' a Defense Bill that included a PAY RAISE for service personnel...WHY?...because there was a 'provision' in the bill that said anyone hurt by Hussein can sue the Iraqi Government...remember those downed pilots in Desert Storm?...well Iraq doesn't want to be sued by them for damages done to them by Saddam Hussein...First WHY does IRAQ have ANY sayso in US Policy?...Secondly, BU$H pumped Billions into Iraq we will never see back...and NOW is worried about $30 Billion dollars Iraq has in US Banks and Investments...that they may take it out...MONEY WE GAVE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!... :!:
Besides WHO told Iraq about this 'provision' in OUR legislation, and where does IRAQ get off to dictate what OUR Congress does? It's BAD enough that our young adults DIE in their nation, but now BU$H is letting Iraq STOP a PAY INCREASE for OUR TROOPS!...ALL THE MORE REASON TO BRING 'EM HOME.... :mad:
NOW!
The Pretzel NEEDS to KNOW that THIS IS NOT THE UNITED STATES OF IRAQ!...I don't know what everybody else thinks, but quite frankly...THIS DISGUSTS ME! :bad:
