House of Representatives: H. Res. 895:

supporting intelligence and law enforcement programs to track terrorists and terrorist finances conducted consistent with Federal law and with appropriate Congressional consultation and specifically condemning the disclosure and publication of classified information that impairs the international fight against terrorism and needlessly exposes Americans to the threat of further terror attacks by revealing a crucial method by which terrorists are traced through their finances.

The roll call is here: (Roll no. 357).

The resolution is real “WEAK SAUCE” and does not NAME NAMES but it clearly defines the partisan divide between the GOP and Democrats.

Flap listened to the debate and it was weak too, especially the GOP who let Barney Frank, D-MA make too many unanswered points.

Perhaps some in the GOP do NOT wish to offend the New York Times and prefer to be invited to the “TRENDY” media parties and to be interviewed by the New York and Los Angeles Times editorial boards.

Hugh Hewitt is RIGHT to be outraged.

On H. Res. 895 the GOP WIMPED OUT.

From the Washington Times: Casey cites Iran hand in attacks by Iraqi Shi’ites.

The top U.S. commander in Iraq said yesterday [June 22] that covert Iranian troops are training brethren Iraqi Shi’ites on how to attack U.S. and coalition troops.The disclosure by Army Gen. George Casey is the most pointed Pentagon criticism of Iran’s militant regime, which is embroiled in a debate with the United States because Washington demands an end to Tehran’s uranium enrichment.

Manouchehr Mottaki, Foreign Minister of Iran adresses reporters at a press conference at United Nations headquarters in New York Thursday, June, 29, 2006.

AP: Iran brushes aside deadline on response

Iran’s foreign minister on Thursday brushed aside demands from the major industrialized nations to respond by July 5 to an international offer for Tehran to roll back its uranium enrichment program, saying his nation would need until August.

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Iran had questions about the proposal that will be raised in talks expected early next month with Javier Solana, the
European Union’s foreign policy chief. The questions need to be answered so Tehran can respond in August, he said.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is seriously and carefully reviewing the proposed package,” he said. “Questions and ambiguities on the Iranian side are pending. Therefore, we welcome the discussions and negotiations for clarification of those ambiguities.”

Stall, Stall, Stall

Tick Tick Tick - as the Natanz uranium enrichment centrifuges spin in Natanz.

Refer them to the United Nations Security Council…..

Enough already……..

Listen to Mottaki Bul*sh*t his way ……..

Mottaki, asked about the Group of Eight request for a response by July 5, noted that when Solana presented the package to the Iranians in Tehran “we did not agree on any specific date to respond.”

“The response of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the proposed package … is clear and will be substantive but … the proposed package contains questions and ambiguities which must be clear,” he said.

“Some of these ambiguities may be responded by Mr. Solana,” Mottaki said, but some questions may need “a substantive response” from the six countries that drafted the incentive package, the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.

The Iranian minister said the government set up committees to review different aspects of the package because it wanted careful consideration of all aspects. Presumably, the committees would also consider any responses from the six nations that proposed the package.

Mottaki rejected claims that Iran was playing for time, saying the proposal took months to prepare.

Since the issue is important, he said, “I think the time until August is not a long time for submitting a response — and that’s very natural and normal.”

“I’ve said that such response will be in August. I didn’t say early August or mid-August,” he said.

Refer Iran.

The answer is NO!

Stay tuned……..
