...doing all they can to incur the wrath of george. Didn't this government try this same thing 60 years ago? From what I recall, it did not go very well and the Iranians eventually rose up to the tyranny. Maybe things will be different this time.
King George is having a good month. He also got his revised illegal spying bill FISA passed with immunity for telecoms. Now he's probably getting sanctions on Iran approved too.
The Senate on Thursday voted 92-6 to approve a $257.5 billion supplemental war appropriations bill (HR 2642) with a provision that would delay for one year six new Medicaid regulations proposed by the Bush administration, CongressDaily reports.
The House passed the legislation on June 19.
The bill includes $21.1 billion in domestic spending. The legislation includes $4.6 billion for Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals. The bill originally had included $157 million for six Louisiana hospitals that experienced financial losses after Hurricane Katrina, but the final version did not include the funds
Those pesky Iranians
