47 Republicans and 3 Democrats Vote in Favor of Permanent Bases in Iraq

This needs to be brought into the light of day!!! America has no business building permanent bases in Iraq. For what reason would WE need bases??? The building of infrastructure to help the Iraqi people [ water, electricity, roads and schools] is the most important thing we should be doing. No closed door actions, no more trying to fool the American people!!!

I hate to say it, but my representative is Marsha Blackburn. It is an extreme embarrassment to me that the people of my state were stupid enough to elect this woman. I will do everything I can to see that next time, we elect someone ethical and interested in doing what is right for our country.

I'm not surprised to see my representative here in CA, Dan Lungren, voted for permanent bases - what I am convinced of is the people he represents had no idea what his agenda was when he was elected to replace a moderate. Bill Durston is a wonderful opposition candidate for his seat in the HOR and I will do everything I can to make sure the consitutents in my district find out the differences between these two men.

Incredibly I am amazed to NOT see my congressman David Drier showing on the yes list. Good Republican that he is perhaps there is hope for this Friend of Dorothy after all.

Yea, I hate to say it to, but everyone thinks that Bush is from Texas, but he isn't. he's from Conn. He just came down here to get rich and for a hat that was large enough to fit over his ego.

They have spent Billions of dollars on the bases. You didn't really think that they were just for keeping our military safe did you? I mean, why bother if the vehicles didn't have armor and they didn't have bullet proof jackets to wear? So why such bases? It couldn't be for the average "Joe". They want, and intend to have Iraq's oil. I really didn't beleive that the first 500 times i heard it, but i believe it now.

Rep Tiahrt does not and has not represented the American Citizens of Kansas. He represents himself and the criminal Bush and Company.
Tiahrt should be removed from office and given a position that he has advocated in his many years in the house. That is being sent to Iraq as an American Soldier, then maybe he will get some sense of what an aggressive war is that is being conducted by the World's leading Terrorists--Bush and Cheney.

any senator or representative who votes in favour of continued u.s. military presence in iraq or afganistan needs to be voted out of office , this is exactly what the anit-environmental bush/cheney regime wants, a u.s. military establishment in every part of the world it can --bush sees himself as the ruler of the world and all nations to bow to his demonic and demented will. illegal spying on citizens or anyone in any part of the world, or illegal use of c.i.a. flights to transport "suspects" to places of tortue mean nothing to the bush regime.
