Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman (California) is reported to have given a letter to antiwar activists to facilitate their delivery of aid to the 'other side' in Fallujah, Iraq.
The leftist online publication Peace and Resistance, in an article published January 1, said that Rep. Waxman had written a letter addressed to the American ambassador in Amman, Jordan to help ease transit through Customs of $600,000 worth of medical supplies and cash collected by the anti-American groups Code Pink and Global Exchange. According to the groups' leader, Medea Benjamin, the aid is destined for the "other side" in Fallujah.
The letter was being carried by Fernando Suarez Del Solar, an antiwar activist whose Marine son, 20-year-old Jesus A Suarez del Solar Novaro, was killed in Iraq on March 27, 2003 when he reportedly stepped on an American cluster bomb fragment.
Mr. Suarez is being accompanied on the trip by fellow parents of soldiers killed in Iraq, as well as several family members of those killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks.
One Iraqi, when informed that parents of American soldiers killed while liberating his country were giving aid to the "other side" in Fallujah, asked, "what kind of people would help those killing their own sons and daughters?"
That's a question the House Ethics Committee should be asking Rep. Waxman.
Am wondering as well; has THK's (TheresaHeinzKerry), Tides Foundation been involved in any of this. . .
also curious - as to what HAS THK's Heinz Foundation response been to tsunami disaster?
Or just what has been the 'Mr. and Mrs.' response; given their shared arrogance for their 'humanitarian endeavors' (beyond THK's Let them go naked?)
Surely with another election in their 'minds'; they will be should be already, very generous. . .
By all means. . .call and rant!
This guy is worth a total freeping. . .
Leave Congressman Waxman alone or he will sniff up all of his detractors in his ample nostrils. Every one of you people.
He has been a liberal whack job for a long time and I think this is treason.
"and I think this is treason."
Yes, this IS treasonous. I agree.
If I were you I'd contact local media and write letters to the editors. DO NOT LET THIS TREASON STAND!!!
Thank you for the zot.
Heard about this over the weekend and just did the search for this article. I'm disappointed that it took 20 posts before someone recommended hanging these people. Lynch mobs should be waiting for Benjamin at the airport. What would we have done in 1776 if someone had donated money and medical supplies to the British?
I have notified Congressman Virgil Goode of this matter. I received a telephone and a request for links to the original news articles, which I supplied. He wanted the actual news articles to read and review and to pass on to the Ethics Committee.
Hopefully, enough Congressmen will receive this complaint and pass it on in a like fashion.
Isn't giving aid and comfort to the enemy during times of war a "Death by firing squad" offense no matter what rank you hold ? Personally I always thought this scumbag looked the evil type. And if it is found he commited this treasonous act he should face the same law that the rest of us have to.
I guess there is double meaning in this phrase. Wouldn't want to see an exposed Hillary!
contacted my "rep" Susan Davis sent this message, I believe that an ethics investigation should be started against Henry Waxman for his support of Code Pink and Global Exchange. Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman (California) is reported to have given a letter to antiwar activists to facilitate their delivery of aid to the 'other side' in Fallujah, Iraq. send it to your rep. http://www.house.gov/writerep/, and I also copied everyone in my address book.
Wasn't this giving aid and comfort to the enemy?
Sounds like treason to me...
What does "BTTT" mean?
EXCELLENT POINT!!!
Forget te Reps, get this in the media and on the news. He will get crushed.
"Ethics committee" my a$$! I'll get the rope!!
It is meant to signify that you've read the article and want to bring it other FReepers attention by 'bumping' it back to the top of the continuously scrolling list of articles so it doensn't 'get lost' without placing a long opinion within the reply.........Simply: BTTT.
