Democratic Leadership Appeasing the Islamic Republic of Iran. Killing CA Assembly resolution ACR-79, a Warm-up for an Obama-Biden Policy
September 11th 2008

On September 1st 2008, a brief text message from California Assemblyman Joel Anderson (Republican- 77th District in the San Diego area) announced that the “Democrat Senate leadership killed ACR-79 today by not transmitting it to the Assembly”.

Assembly Concurrent Resolution 79 was pushing for the divestment of over two billion dollars of the University of California pension funds, from companies doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran. This resolution was following on the heels of the successful AB-221, divesting billions of dollars of California pension funds from above companies which had been introduced by Joel Anderson, supported by Iranian democratic opponents of the Islamic Republic in particular the MPG Party, and had passed both the California Assembly and the Senate with bi- partisan cooperation. The only large entity not clearly covered by the bill was the UC system, which was the target of the new resolution.

Congressional sources in D.C. have confirmed that “all Iran related resolutions are being left to die”, meaning that they would be opposed by Democratic leaders in the House and the senate. Currently two similar resolutions encouraging harsher sanctions on the Islamic Republic in the House (HCR 362) with about 265 co-sponsors and in the US Senate (Resolution 580) with around 50 co-sponsors have not been cosponsored by Democratic Foreign Relations Committee Chairs, Senator Joseph Biden ( Obama’s foreign policy advisor and now his Vice Presidential nominee) and Congressman Howard Berman, even though several Democrats opposed to their soft policies on Iran and their appeasement of the Islamic Republic have already signed on. It is expected that these two resolutions will meet the fate of the CA ACR-79 in a pattern of Democratic reversion of policy, even before the November elections. It is also feared that the future Obama administration, should he win the elections, will continue Senator Biden’s traditional doctrine of one sided concessions to the Islamic Republic without expecting reciprocation, which is tantamount to entrusting this dangerous dictatorship with regional and global ambition and on the verge of going nuclear, with more leeway, funds and power.

Down with the Islamic Republic

Long Live Iran

OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL

Source: http://www.nypost.com/seven/09152008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/obama_tried_to_stall_gis_iraq_withdrawal_129150.htm



WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview.

Yet Iraq is doing much better than its friends hoped and its enemies feared. The UN mandate will be extended in December, and we may yet get an agreement on the status of forces before President Bush leaves the White House in January
