Tommy Thompson: Iraq War May Be Won or Lost This Week

May 29, 2007 -- Madison – Saying it was time for the Iraqi Parliament to democratize oil revenues, former Wisconsin Governor, Tommy Thompson, called on Iraq's elected officials to meet the May 31 deadline and to see that every family in Iraq receive direct payments from the country's oil profits.

“If Iraq fails to pass a revenue sharing law that directly benefits every family in Iraq, then democracy and capitalism in the country will face a bleak future,” said Thompson. “Winning the war in Iraq means establishing a functioning democracy among monarchies and dictators. But concentrating oil dollars among governments and oil companies, and leaving the people out, will only lead to the same old 'top down' system that has already failed.”

Dodd To Outline Next Steps In Fight To End War In Iraq

Senator and Presidential candidate Chris Dodd today will announce his plans to continue the fight to bring an end to the Bush Administration's failed policy in Iraq. Dodd will hold a live chat at the popular blog FireDogLake today at 5 p.m. ET where he will announce plans to introduce an amendment to the upcoming Defense Authorization bill that would bring an end to American involvement in Iraq's civil war.

"The current policy in Iraq has left us less secure and left our standing in the world in tatters. That is why we have to continue the fight to change course," said Dodd. "The Dodd Amendment will improve accountability, provide a timetable for the Iraqi government to get its house in order, and safely and responsibly redeploy our troops and bring them home. Now is the time to responsibly bring an end to our involvement in another country's civil war while rebuilding our Reserve and Guard units."

Owner's Comments: What a load of Bull. I guess Senator Dodd would prefer to fight the Terrorists in Boston instead of Baghdad. The Insurgencey in Iraq is as much a Civil War as Senator Byrd is a Civil Rights Leader!

MENLO PARK, Calif. (AP) - Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards on Thursday called for a federal investigation into possible antitrust violations by the oil industry and criticized oil companies for raising gas prices.

Presidential Candidate Sen. Obama Proposes Plan To Cover Uninsured, Improve Premium Affordability

Presidential candidate and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Tuesday in Iowa City, Iowa, announced a proposal that would expand health insurance to almost all U.S. residents and reduce premium costs, the New York Times reports (Toner/Healy, New York Times, 5/30).

The proposal would require health insurance for children but not adults (McCormick/Dorning, Chicago Tribune, 5/30). Under the proposal, employers would have to offer health insurance or pay a percentage of their payrolls into a federal fund to provide coverage. The proposal would exempt the smallest employers from the requirement. The proposal would establish a public health plan for residents who cannot obtain health insurance through their employers or current public programs such as Medicaid and SCHIP (New York Times, 5/30). The proposal would expand Medicaid and SCHIP to cover more low-income residents (Young, The Hill, 5/30).

Owner's Comments: My biggest question would be how do we pay for this Health Care Proposal of Mr Obama's? I suspect it involves "Raising the Tax's on the Rich".

Hillary Clinton Defends Use of Corporate Jet for Family Vacations

On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton was challenged by the press about the Clinton family’s acceptance of more than $900,000 in free private travel from Infousa, a company linked to scamming the elderly.

Her reply? She said that she had complied with all Senate ethics rules and reimbursed the company for the amount of a first class air ticket — usually about 1 percent of the cost of the luxurious private jet travel. According to Hillary, “Those were the rules. You’ll have to ask someone else if it’s good policy.”

Owners Comment's: Once again the Clinton's seem to think that minor little things like "Laws" and "Ethics" apply to other people not them.
