Should I bow my head and pray? (Resolution on Iran) |
|
Edited on Thu Feb-16-06 10:50 AM by Norquist Nemesis
C-SPAN airing House proceedings. They are getting ready to condemn the actions of Iran for violating UN regarding uranium enrichment (and for other purposes, most likely too).
Whoops...Dennis Kucinich led the pledge. He sorta stumbled on "Republic" for which it stands.

14. 'Why do we support a policy that helps the radicals, hardliners' |

"Even if they (Iran) have nuclear weapons, they're not going to be a threat to our national security. Pakistan has nuclear weapons (other countries named too)... We go looking for problems."

21. Lantos, manager of opposition time urges support of resolution |
|
In other words, there was no opposition. There we have it! All time for debate expired, Kucinich asks for yeas and nays, Lantos requests yeas and nays, electronic 15 minute vote.

You're right. We are not alone. Strength in numbers. I seriously want to quit my job and go chain myself to the WH fence and fast for peace. I need to lose a few pounds anyway LOL.

Okay, I am feeling better. The weight of the world is NOT on my shoulders alone!!!
