EXECUTIVE ORDER 13303, AND EXECUTIVE ORDER 13315

He just unscrewed it.
OK now that this is out of the way I can go back and do what I went to the WH page for in the 1st place.........

I think it means that Iraq is officially back in business as far as the United States is concerned.
Things are moving along.
Explain for me too!!( Thanks)
While his pen is out he should rescind E. O.12333 as well.
Why don't you find out before you go knee-jerk in response. ;0)
