Kucinich Reveals Dem Funding Bill Includes Privatization of Iraq Oil & Carte Blanche to Invade Iran


by June Caldwell, American Chronicle

May 6, 2007

In a meeting with the West Los Angeles Democratic Club on Saturday, May 5, Presidential candidate and Ohio Congress Representative Dennis Kucinich revealed that the Democrats in Congress had made some secret concessions to the Republicans in the initial Bill to continue funding the Iraq War that was vetoed, and in a subsequent version that is currently being negotiated. They include:

Privatization of Iraq’s Oil – in the original Bill, but not shared with the public. A rule was created that said this clause could not be removed during debate on House floor.
Bush could invade Iran without approval of Congress. A clause that would require him to get approval from Congress first was removed.

Timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq to be removed from Bill (in post-veto version)

Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is keynote speaker at West L.A. Democratic Club

One little-known provision requested by President George W. Bush in the recently vetoed Iraq funding bill is that Iraq privatize its oil or the U.S. will pull out the troops and not send in any peace keepers, said Dennis Kucinich, an Ohio U.S. Congressman and presidential candidate.

Kucinich was the keynote speaker at an event on Saturday, May 5th, held by the West L.A. Democratic Club at the Venice Center for Peace with Justice and the Arts in Venice.

Kucinich said that six weeks ago he told Democratic colleagues about this provision, asking if they had read the bill because many were shocked to learn about it, and admitted they had not read much of the bill, which prompted Kucinich to remark, 'Just like the Patriot Act.'

Just before the president's veto of the Iraq funding bill, Kucinich said he attempted for the third time to remove the 'privatization of oil' bill portion and that some Democrats 'screamed at him that he was 'not a loyal party member'.'

From birth we are taught to work within the system to effect change. What do you do if the system is broken?

The Challenge shouldn't be THAT HARD...should it?

You mean with rigged elections, voter supression, a corrupt judiciary, many of our representatives have been bought by lobyist and corporate interests and a broken 4th estate?

cake walk I assure you.

/sarcasm off

Our liberty and freedom are in the hands of facists and we face an unknowable fight to restore our constitution; most American's are too busy watching American Idol and Survivor to notice theres anything wrong.

I would be tempted to say its unwinnable except I won't ever give up and as long as we fight for what's right the fight is not lost.

peace

Welcome to DU...for what it's worth.

It looks downright hopeless, but I keep hoping someone will come up with something we can actually do that works. Nothing within the system is going to do the trick and the alternative is (to me) unthinkable.

THIS is why. The MSM will dismiss him on superficialities like calling him too short to be President--but he's the only candidate I see standing tall and exposing the corruption and walking his talk with bills like HR333.

:sarcasm:

energy, we wouldn't need to import oil from the Mideast. If each person made a few changes we could start to save us from the hell of the Mideast and global warming. We are all part of the problem. Our energy use is 5 times more than any other so-called developed country.

the text in this video is not very readable. same with your youtube page. the music is a little insipid as well.
hope you can take that in the spirit in which it is offered.

It was late at night and I kinda just put it together

Its just to inform people

maybe it would have been better putting it on a blue screen good point

The Music is from the 300 Spartans

and its name is Remember Us

I thought it was perfect because we need to remember we have lost 3300 beautiful children to this stupid war

put a little white glow or shadow on it. i am a self taught graphic designer, (or so i think) and i know how hard it is to tell if something is readable once you know what it says. text against pictures is always hard.

designer but I understand your point and its a big one

the film has gotten 3 honors today from You Tube

the one that absolutely fascinates me is its #29 Most viewed Chinese

now thats interesting
Any thoughts about that one???
