Should I bow my head and pray? (Resolution on Iran)

[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.

[LeftNYC]

1. I noticed that too...nt

[Atman]

2. Just don't bow your head and SPRAY!

At least, not without yelling DUCK! first. Or is it DICK? Or quail? Politics is so confusing!

[babylonsister]

3. LOL! nt

[Norquist Nemesis]

5. ROFL!

[Norquist Nemesis]

4. Here we go! Resolution to refer to UN Security Council

Kucinich asking for time in opposition.

[meganmonkey]

6. Oh shit - I'm listening to Feingold talk about the Patriot Act

But I may need to switch over.

Actually, I should concentrate on getting my work done :P

[Norquist Nemesis]

7. Now Tom Lantos is up

Sounds like he's supporting the resolution.

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. Says Iran has acquired actual bomb blueprints like Libya n/t

[Viva_La_Revolution]

11. from the black market guy that Plame was investigating?

You know, before Cheney and Scooter took down the whole investigation by outing her. :shrug:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

9. "Tehran state policy of sponsoring terrorism"

[Norquist Nemesis]

10. "developing nuclear weapon terrorist state"

must give incentives to banks and businesses to stop doing business with Iran and put sanctions on Iran

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. Ron Paul standing to "advise caution". Noticing similarities with Iraq

in language.

[Norquist Nemesis]

13. "Iraq not doing well and we're looking to take on another burden"

Sanctions, embargos are acts of war

[Norquist Nemesis]

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."

[Norquist Nemesis]

15. Steny Hoyer up now

"Grave and gathering danger"

[meganmonkey]

16. I don't know how long I can listen to this stuff

Although Ron Paul is a breath of fresh air...

Anyone know when Dennis K is up?

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. Hope he's up soon; it looks like we're off to war within the year!

:scared:

[Norquist Nemesis]

18. Kucinich up now!

:bounce:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

19. That was quick, I missed him!

:(

What did he say?

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. Nutshell: "This resolution puts us on the threshold to war"

:(

[Norquist Nemesis]

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.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

22. deja vu

[meganmonkey]

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!!!
