Dems may try to add conditions to war funding

The House Democrats are discussing to make a deal to add conditions and money to a war-funding bill avoiding the special objections that president George W. Bush made. They are considering a measure tying war funding to a timeline for the troop withdrawals. Some democratic leadership aides said, “This proposal would add a timeline to the Iraq as a condition for funding”. It would also add some money for democrats domestic priorities like unemployment assistance, a GI bill that will fund education benefits for the military veterans and a package of tax credits in to use or for renewable sources. Most democratic sources say that the $178 billion measure would include $108 billion that president Bush asked for the military in the year 2008 and $70 billion to cover all of the war costs in Iraq and Afghanistan in early 2009. One of these aides noticed the details in flux, saying leaders are going to meet to talk about “what can get 60 votes in the senate and what the president will not veto. We want to avoid any appearance that we are poking this up”. Another democratic aide said that the house could pass a bill with a timeline and funding for other domestic things. During a news conference, the president said that he would not accept a bill larger that $108 billion which was what the pentagon had requested. A vote on the house floor could come in as nearly as a week.

Iraqi Children

The U.S invasion toward Iraq has injured many people, even children. One in eight children in Iraq died during that period of malnutrition, disease, and lack of medicine. The violence has been increasing even more and they can't even get out from their home because of this invasion. The United States promises and gave Iraqi people hope that all of these will change but nothing have change that's their point of view. The bomb and missiles had been cause horrific devastation to the Iraqi people and its children. "U.S. military forces have no right, legal or moral, even to be in Iraq killing anyone. Why? Because neither the Iraqi people nor their government ever attacked the United States. The Iraqi people had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington". It is true that the Iraqi society doesn't has to do with this incident and the Unites States have not prove that Iraq have nuclear weapons but many innocent people had die already. The president of United States thinks very differently about this situation that’s the reason they still attacking Iraq. The U.S. officials concluded, "the idea will be that the deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqis, including countless Iraqi children, will have been worth it. It would be difficult to find a more morally repugnant position than that".

Chairman's statement on IRAQ

http://www.proof7.com/p7nyc/images/george%20bush-thumb.jpg

President Bush mentioned that the threat to the United States comes from Iraq. It also says that the acts of Iraqi aggression and terror arsenal. When the Persian Gulf War ended is mentioned that they shouldn't have those weapond and could not get help from terrorist groups rather than that will end completely. It says that Iraq possesses chemical and biological arms and that these are the ones that have violated their obligations. The president said, "the whole world has witnessed the history of defiance, deception and bad faith of eleven years in Iraq." We cannot forget the event of September 11, which affects many families as well as the United States. That's why they decided that the threat would face as they decided to do so with the U.S.

"Members of Congress from both political parties and members of the Security Council of the United Nations agree that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm. We agree that should not be allowed to threaten the Iraqi dictator to the United States and the world with horrible poisons and diseases and gases and atomic weapons. Since all agree on this goal, the question is: What is the best way to achieve it?"

It mentions that there are other countries that have destructive weapons but is a threat and danger to society. In Iraq these weapons are manged by individuals or dangerous murderers who have taken the lives of many people and attacked other nations. At the same time many people wonder if this will continue and the president said toward this, "The danger is already significant and only gets worse with time. If we know Saddam Hussein has dangerous weapons today, and we know it. The fundamental problem with Iraq remains the nature of the regime itself. Saddam is a homicidal dictator who is addicted to weapons of mass destruction." The biggest whis is that all thi will end soon and no more suffering for people lives and future and to bring peace to the United States.

Soldiers Against the War

http://www.ivaw.org/files/images/JAN27DC-004.jpg

Many people are against the Iraq War because they still haven't found any evidence to support the attack made from the United States. Terrorist attacks had growth a lot and also is becoming dangerous for our country. Airports security is now stronger than ever and sometimes you can't carry things that you need. The U.S argues that Iraq is violating the law by having mass destructive weapons but they don't realize that their attack is not reasonable. The invasion toward Iraq is a fraudulent because U.S. military forces are not preventing the violence. American soldiers are the ones who suffer the consequences of this war, the majority has suffered from physical and mental problem and they still keep others in war. Families are not able to spend time with these veterans that are fighting for this country. The percentage of military forces had increase so much and the society wants to stop-loss. There are so much loss in this war like; $5.8 billion per month just wasted on war. This money could be helpful for the state that lost many lives and properties on the Hurricane Katrina, for medical programs, education in school and also the protection of any nature disaster.

Against The War

http://www.consumersforpeace.org/images/vets_against_war.jpg

In my opinion I am against this War in Iraq. It’s been five long years of fighting without a real cause, only lies told by the government. It’s a shame how so many have died for an unjust cause. Bring the men and women home they have families, most of them who are young that have their whole life ahead of them. They are sacrificing their lives for President Bush and his illegal war. This government is corrupt by neo-cons who jus want political power and world dominance. By sending troops over to Iraq just creates more violence rising death tolls.

Instead of “creating a better world”, we should focus inside our own borders and improve our standard of living. How can we call this government democratic when they want power around the world and be stationed around the world as a world police guard. Our men and women suffer, they come back home mentally ill, turn into homeless people, aggressive and have back flashes of what they experience.

This society suffers while politics gain power, we are losing money, we could be using it to create new schools, and create jobs. Like the documentary “Why We Fight”, this war is filled with lies and deceptions. They tell us lies so we can be on the same page as they are but there all myths told to us to keep us like puppets.

A Year After Iraq War

The prevailing view in six of the nine countries surveyed is that the United Nations, not the U.S. and its allies, would do the best job in helping the Iraqi people form a stable government. These are the countries helping the Iraq keep their government stable Germany there about 84%, France 82% and Great Britain. The Muslim country feels that the United States and allies are best to keep the Iraqi government stable. Jordan and Morocco and his pluralities argued that the United States or its allies or the United Nations could keep the Iraq government stable.

The American split along the partisan line over the question that if the united states and its allies and United Nations could keep the government stable, about 45 percent believe that United Nations could do it and about 42 percent believe it was the United States and his allies. Some republicans think that United States could do a better job than the others. In the other hand the democrats believe the united nation could do a better job.

If you look at this graph you will see the different percentage of the that agree with the united states keeping the government in Iraq stable and you can also see the different percentage of the United Nations.
