Comments on Rep. Reichert Introduces Bill to Make Iraq Pay

"A loan to Iraq" is code for "a weapon we will use to cut your godforsaken country off at the knees whenever it suits our own political purposes."

Reichert only cares about his own election - once he's past November he'll backstab the country and keep us in Iraq for 100 years if he can.

don't you mean "moderate house Republican" instead of "another moderate house Republican"

that would imply that Reichert is a moderate

Hey, you know that it would really force them to start shouldering the burden of their own security and reconstruction if we actually ended our occupation of their country.

he is nothing more than a vulgar poser. iraq has no money and it is not even a country anymore. it barely keeps electricity on for 4 hours a day. whoever can leave is leaving.

Aren't they essentially giving us their oil for free? I say make the oil companies foot the bill.

Reichert and Shays have in common that they are endangered, not that they are "moderate".

In fact, according to the National Journal, Reichert ranks as one of the most conservative in Congress on foreign policy issues based on his voting record where he has voted in line with Bush's policies 100% of the time.

So we bomb a country back into the stone age, provoke a civil war, and then hand them the bill? Seems very gauche.

I'm interested in Reichert's other bill - the one about getting blood from a stone. How's that one going over?
