Comrade Pelosi Stripped Bill From War Supplemental Bill



Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have joined forces to protect our brave and military men and women in the Middle East.  They have threatened to use any means necessary to prevent the release of the torture photos.

These patriotic Senators had attached an amendment to the war supplemental bill to block the release of the detainees photos.  Comrade Pelosi stripped the amendment from the war supplemental bill when it reached the House Of Representatives.  Once again Comrade Pelosi showing her disdain and hatred for our brave military men and women.

The Senators had indicated that they have the support of the White House in blocking the release of these photos.  They said in a forceful joint statement that they would attach their bill, which allows the Secretary of Defense to suppress any detainee interrogation photos for three years at a time, They have said they will continue to include the bill in every measure that comes to the Senate until it becomes law.

The complete statement is as follows:

The President has said that the release of the photos of detainees in US custody would put our troops and civilians serving our nation abroad in greater danger.'
We agree with the Commander in Chief.

"We will employ all the legislative means available to us including opposing the supplemental war spending bill and attaching this amendment, which was unanimously adopted by the Senate, to every piece of legislation the Senate considers, to be sure the President has the authority he needs not to release these photos and any others that would jeopardize the safety and security of our troops.

"The release of the photos will serve as propaganda and a recruiting tool for terrorists who seek to attack American citizens at home and abroad. We should strive to have as open a government as possible, but the behavior depicted in the photos has been prohibited and is being investigated. The photos do not depict anything that is not already known. Transparency, and in this case needless transparency, should not be paid for with the lives of American citizens, let alone the lives of our men and women in uniform fighting on our behalf in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

"Let it clearly be understood that without this legislation the photos in question are likely to be released. Such a release would be tantamount to a death sentence to some who are serving our nation in the most dangerous and difficult spots like Iraq and Afghanistan. It is this certain knowledge of these consequences of having the photos released that will cause us to vote against the supplemental and continue our push to turn our important amendment into law."

The Senators said, " We strongly believe that the first responsibilities of government are the nation's security and the protection of those brave Americans who go into harm's way to defend it." Comrade Pelosi and many of her liberal Democrat comrades did not feel the first responsibility of the government is the nation's security and the protection of the brave Americans who go into harm's way to defend it.

The bill to suppress the photos of the detainees has the full backing of the Senate.  America let your Congressman know that you want them to back the protection of the brave Americans who are going into harm's way to defend us.
