Prolonging The War To Help The Democratic Party
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is helping put together the largest Iraq war spending bill yet.
The aim appears to be to fund the war for nearly six months into the next president's term to prevent a new Democratic President from having to vote for the war without risking the war actually ending.
On April 28th, Code Pink started a peace vigil on the front porch of Pelosi's house in San Francisco to urge her to not give the President another blank check for the occupation of Iraq. Event Announcement |
