Why Congress Caved to Bush

By Patrick J. Buchanan

The anti-war Democrats are crying betrayal – and justifiably
so. For a Democratic Congress is now voting to fully fund
the war in Iraq, as demanded by President Bush, and
without any timetable for a U.S. troop withdrawal. Bush
got his $100 billion, then magnanimously agreed to let
Democrats keep the $20 billion in pork they stuffed into
the bill – to soothe the pain of their sellout of the party
base. Continue

Rep. Kucinich explained how the proposed Bill, now pending

for the privatization of Iraqi oil. It requires the regime
in Iraq to pass a law called, "The Hydrocarbon Act." If they
refuse to do so over a billion dollars in reconstruction funds
will be blocked by the Bush-Cheney administration, he
claimed. - Unless the scheme is stopped, Rep. Kucinich
