California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher Kicked Out of Iraq?

Yeah like Iraq will ever repay the American people for our sacrifices to get rid of THEIR tyrant. But, nice try Dana.

The suggestion by a California congressman that Iraq repay the United States for the money it has spent in the country has stirred outrage, with an Iraqi lawmaker ridiculing the idea as “stupid” and others saying Iraqis should be compensated for the hardships they’ve endured.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican from Huntington Beach (Orange County), suggested during a trip to Baghdad with fellow lawmakers Friday that once Iraq becomes a rich and prosperous country, it could repay the United States.

That comment triggered fury among an Iraqi public and political establishment that had little or no say in the U.S.-led invasion of 2003. Iraqis are largely glad to be rid of Saddam Hussein but blame the United States for the chaos and sectarian violence that followed the invasion.

“We as a government reject such statements, and we have informed the American Embassy that these congressmen are not welcome in Iraq,” government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said Sunday.

President George W. Bush made a BIG mistake invading Iraq and deposing Saddam Hussein. The war was eventually “not lost,” but the peace has NOT really been won.

I imagine most Americans would want us to pull out completely from Iraq and not give the country another thought.

And, as far as foreign aid, their oil is pumping so they can pay market price for American goods and services, otherwise – no.
