House Votes Overwhelmingly in Favor of Israel

• Views: 233

U.S. Congress backs Israel’s response to terrorist attacks.

A House resolution, passed 399-5, condemned attacks on Israel since President George W. Bush, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas met in Jordan three weeks ago to pledge for the U.S.-backed peace plan.

But a few lawmakers warned that the measure, coming on the same day that Islamic militants agreed to halt attacks on Israel for three months, was one-sided.

I watched this House session on C-Span today, and I have to say our representatives made me proud. Little Green kudos to Tom Lantos and Denise Majette especially. The few who spoke against this measure will have a lot to answer for in the next election.

WAPO’s Glenn Kessler Gives Three “Pinocchios” To Claim of Doctored Emails
It has long been part of the Washington game for officials to discredit a news story by playing up errors in a relatively small part of it.
