Failing to muster enough votes to override an ensured veto from President Bush, Democrats have decided to withdraw their bid to include a timetable in the Iraq supplemental appropriations bill.

Congress is set to vote within the next 48 hours to give Bush a blank check to pay for continued war and occupation. It is unacceptable that the Democratic leadership has abandoned a timeline for ending the war in this new supplemental funding bill. Call your Representative and Senators https://www.visi.com/juan/congress/ today at (202) 224-3121 and insist they stand up to Bush and vote against endless war!

Tell them: Vote NO on the Supplemental funding bill. This money will only continue to support the war and occupation of Iraq. Don't buy Bush's war!

Ask them: How many more fallen soldiers will we have to mourn next Memorial Day?

Make your calls today! Let us know how your Congressperson is going to vote by sending an email to dc@codepinkalert.org.

Democrats in Congress have relented on their insistence that a war spending measure set a date for withdrawing U.S. combat troops from Iraq. Instead, they moved toward a deal with President George W. Bush that would impose new conditions on the Iraqi government.

Don't Think of a US Soldier, Unarmed, Abandoned in Iraq's Civil War!

Jeff Cohen writes: "For years, Team Bush has sought to shroud their devastating and deepening Iraq occupation in the myth of troop protection.... The shared pretense of the White House and Democratic leaders is that funding the Iraq occupation is somehow a program on behalf of the troops. Like a subsidy for family farmers.... What Democrats need to be saying, repeatedly, is that it's Bush/Cheney who abandoned several thousand US troops to avoidable deaths in a disastrous occupation, and tens of thousands to horrible injuries. And that they're willing to abandon still more troops to unnecessary death and injury. Democrats also need to talk about polls that consistently show most US troops in Iraq support withdrawal, as do most Iraqis."

The war in Iraq is killing nine civilian contractors a week on average, roughly three times the rate of last year, and U.S. government statistics show that non-Americans do most of the dying.

Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich: "Privatizing Iraq's Oil is Theft!"

Video

Rep. Kucinich explained how the proposed Bill, now pending before the U.S. Congress, via its benchmarks, will provide 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 predicted, we will be looking at an Iraqi War "going on forever!"
