I also heard that the State Department was using this issue and the victims as pawns in negotiations with Iraq. Who do they represent anyway? I hope the Congressmen/women and Senators have enough stamina to stand up for these victims of torture!!... 42405@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:47:15 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5167.html#42306 Wow! Here we are giving BILLIONS of dollars to Iraq and they refuse to settle claims of hostage taking. Let's get with the program Bush! Who's more important, the Iraq government or US CITIZENS! GET SERIOUS!!!... 42306@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:08:41 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5167.html#41765 I don't think it is fair that Iraq is collecting all this money from us but doesn't want to settle with former US citizens that were held against their will at gun point. I say either stop giving them our money or force them to settle with these victims.... 41765@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:49:37 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5167.html#41757 President Bush has promised US victims of Iraq hostage taking that justice would be provided but his administration has refused to allow settlement of this issue. The Congress has now taken the necessary action to make Iraq settle them. Iraq is bleeding the US taxpayer while running a multi-billion dollar surplus. Make them pay!!!... 41757@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:38:59 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5167.html#41756 This bill costs the taxpayer nothing and would force the Iraq government to settle claims on behalf of US hostages held during the first Gulf War. It should be passed.... 41756@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:34:25 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5167.html#41755 Iraq has been bleeding the US taxpayer while refusing to settle hostage claims against them. Recently, Iraq had a multi-billion dollar surplus but still refuses to settle these claims. This bill would force them to negotiate and settle these 18 year old claims.... 41755@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:30:38 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_5167.html#41743 This bill forces Iraq to negotiate a settlement with the hostages held during Gulf War One. Bush promised to insure justice to the victims but has not done so on three seperate occassions when he had the chance. This bill needs to be passed immediately!... 41743@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:45:27 EDT
