ISSUE: *Should France, Germany, and other "axis of weasels"
countries receive taxpayer dollars to help with the rebuilding
of Iraq?
We don't think they should... and many in Congress apparently
agree.
U.S. Reps. George Nethercutt (R-WA) and Mark Kennedy (R-MN)
introduced an amendment recently to the FY 2003 supplemental
spending bill that would insure that American taxpayer dollars
will not be spent to contract with firms in France, Germany,
Russia and Syria for the rebuilding of Iraq. The measure
passed by voice vote.
"This amendment sends a signal to our allies that we appreciate
those who support us in our time of need and remember those
that have sought to thwart coalition efforts to defeat Saddam
Hussein's regime," Nethercutt said. "The coalition of the
unwilling should not participate in reconstruction with U.S.
tax dollars."
Unfortunately, this amendment was already defeated before in
the Appropriations Committee, and it could still be removed
when the bill goes to a conference committee with the Senate.
We need to make SURE that NO taxpayer money should go to
anyone in the "coalition of the UNwilling!"
ACTION ITEM: "This is an important step," said Rep. Kennedy.
"As we move forward, we must look for ways to help reward those
who stood with America in liberating the Iraqi people."
"Partnership requires a willingness to jointly shoulder the
burdens of international leadership," Rep. Nethercutt stated.
"If other nations are willing to join with the Coalition of
the Willing, as equal partners, their support will be welcomed.
But those that seek to undercut the Coalition at every turn
should understand that our patience is not unlimited."
