Republicans Object To Stark Comments On War

[Psycho4Bud]

(The Politico) House Republicans objected today to comments made by outspoken liberal Democratic Rep. Pete Stark of California on the Iraq war during debate on the override of President Bush's veto of the children's health program.

Speaking on the House floor, Stark said, "Under the Republican plan, by
2017, we probably will have killed 20,000 soldiers in Iraq, spending
$200 billion."

Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) rose to protest the remark and asked that Stark's words be taken down, a formal procedure to punish a member of Congress for breaching the House's standards of decorum.

The chair later ruled that Stark's comment did not refer to any specific House member and thus were appropriate.

Earlier in the SCHIP debate, Stark had made other spirited remarks.

â??You don't have money to fund the war or children,'' he said. "But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement."

Howdy Psycho4Bud,

Thanx for posting this..it just goes to show that the democrats really have no business handling America's national security.

Those of us who still love America and believe in our values and are prepared to defend such,really do need to stock up on ammo and weapons and food and water,while we still can.

Have a good one ! :jointsmile:

Howdy Dutch,

Sometimes I think some of these posts are just to see what kind of rise one can get from the others! Even in a state of confusion I could not see, or even understand how we could have money to continue to finance this war, or any other programs that suck up billions of dollars. And for those who still think this war is about terrorism please wake up. It has been admitted by politicians, and professionals from all over that this war is over controlling the oil that is in the middle east. America sucks up most of the resources in the world there is no way one could even still think that this war is to fight terrorism. Even if we were to go into a war with Iran it wouldn't be over anything except us not letting them control the oil in the middle east!

If this oil theory is right then why are countries such as China and Russia in negotiations with the Iraqi government for oil contracts in different provinces?

[epxroot]

Because our country is in a economical crisis. What is the number 1 resource in the world? Oil! If we control oil then we control who and how much countries spend and buy. Our government does not want anything but American dollars paying for oil! Why do you think Saddam was taken out? Why do you think Mohammad Mosaddeq was taken out of power?

i think there would be people like you, who support the selling out of American sovereignty, a North American Union, a domestic big brother police state, no property rights, taking away rights as some way of protection from "terrorists," endless big government and an endless printing of fiat money to pay for it while ignoring the history and effects that has on a country, etc...

and those who support the constitution and individual freedom.

The same reason Russia has regained some of it's former power, the discovery of gas and oil has made them a major supplier.
When they threatened to cut off that supply there was widespread panic throughout Europe.
