Right-Wing Whackjob Rep. Dana Rohrabacher Asks Baghdad To Repay The Costs Of Being Occupied
June 13, 2011 No CommentCan he get any crazier? We invade Iraq, kill hundreds of thousands of their people and this shameless moron asks them to cover our expenses : BAGHDAD (AFP) – Iraqi authorities have asked for a US congressman to leave the country after he called for Baghdad to repay part of the money spent by Washington since the 2003 invasion , a spokesman said on Saturday. Republican representative Dana Rohrabacher’s remarks at a news conference in Baghdad stood in stark contrast to those by senior American officials, who have pressed Iraqi officials to decide soon whether they want US troops to stay beyond a year-end withdrawal deadline. “We called the US embassy yesterday and we told them to ask the congressmen to leave Iraq,” government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told AFP. “We don’t want them here. What they said was inappropriate.” Dabbagh said Rohrabacher and his congressional delegation had not raised the issue in a meeting with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, contradicting the US politician’s comments that he had spoken about potential repayments with the Iraqi leader. It was not immediately clear if Rohrabacher and the delegation were still in the country when the request was made. “Once Iraq becomes a very rich and prosperous country… we would hope that some consideration be given to repaying the United States some of the mega-dollars that we have spent here in the last eight years,” Rohrabacher told journalists at the US embassy on Monday. Can you imagine all the angry chain emails that would be flying if a Democrat had said that? Oh, and Dana? You’re a lousy guitar player, too. Your staffers probably tell you you’re good, but they get paid to say that.

Prime minister dealt second political blow in less than two weeks as opponents succeed in getting turnout above 50% Silvio Berlusconi was heading on Mondayfor a second defeat in less than two weeks as his government admitted its opponents had succeeded in getting more than 50% of the electorate to vote in popular referendums including one on nuclear power. The outcome of the four ballots, which will be known later on Monday, looked certain to dash the plans of Italy’s embattled rightwing government for a big nuclear construction programme and water privatisation. Berlusconi said: “We shall have to say good-bye to nuclear [energy].” He told a press conference in Rome that his government would now throw all its energy into developing renewable sources. The expected outcome would be a huge success for the anti-nuclear movement in the world’s first nationwide vote on the issue since Japan’s Fukushima disaster. But the ballot was also the latest – and most persuasive – evidence that a majority of Italians has turned against their flamboyant prime minister. Under Italian law, referendums require more than half the electorate to vote to be binding. The government did all it could to keep turnout low and appealed to the courts for the vote to be declared illegal. Italian television, largely under Berlusconi’s sway, almost ignored the approaching ballots until the final days of a poorly funded, low-profile campaign. Yet the interior minister, Roberto Maroni, said his department’s projections indicated the opposition would reach its 50% target, regardless of the turnout among more than three million Italians overseas who are entitled to vote. Berlusconi’s government, which yokes his Freedom People movement to the regionalist and Islamophobic Northern League, first ran into serious trouble on 30 May when his candidate for mayor of Milan lost in a local election runoff. Milan is Berlusconi’s home city and has traditionally been a weather-vane, accurately pointing to Italy’s future political direction. Since then, many rank-and-file league supporters have been urging their leader, Umberto Bossi, to cut himself free of Berlusconi. The party leadership has so far remained wedded to the coalition while pressing for a radical change in economic policy that would deliver tax cuts to its lower middle-class electoral base. Italy abandoned its nuclear programme following a similar referendum in 1987. But the moratorium it introduced only remained in force for five years. Berlusconi had planned to generate a quarter of Italy’s electricity with French-built nuclear plants. Silvio Berlusconi Nuclear power Energy Italy Europe John Hooper guardian.co.uk

Unison boss Dave Prentis says his 1.2 million members will be balloted on industrial action unless a meeting with the government on 28 June leads to a deal The UK’s largest public sector union has warned that it is gearing up for strike action in the autumn unless ministers pull back from controversial pension changes. Dave Prentis, the general secretary of Unison, said huge numbers of local government workers and NHS staff are “on the road” to long-term industrial action over pension changes that would lead to public sector workers paying more into the schemes, receiving less in retirement and working longer. Balloting of around 1.2 million workers will start soon unless a crunch meeting with the government on 28 June leads to a deal, Prentis said, accusing the government of preventing proper negotiations over the controversial plans. Speaking ahead of the union’s annual conference next week, Prentis signalled that members would be balloted for a sustained period of industrial unrest unless the government alters course. “If we are prevented from reaching agreement we will move to a ballot in the summer or early autumn,” Prentis told reporters. “It will not be one day of action – it will be long-term industrial action throughout all our public services to prevent destruction of our pension schemes.” He said the pension reforms had been driven by a desire to help “cowboy private companies” take over public service delivery by making it cheaper for them to tender for work by not having to pick up the pension bill. While Prentis said he fully expected the government to “drive a wedge” between public and private sector workers, he expressed confidence that the public would back his members in a dispute. “I’ve got no doubt whatsoever that this is being done to get the public services in a state for wholesale privatisation, and I don’t think there are many people in the electorate who want their public services privatised,” said Prentis. “It is very clear we are on a collision course unless the government changes its policies.” Strike action over pensions is already planned by three unions on 30 June after 750,000 teachers and civil servants were balloted. Unions seem unperturbed by the prospect of a government clampdown on strike action as they prepare to battle the pension changes. Last week Vince Cable, the business secretary, warned that the threat of widespread industrial action over spending cuts could ratchet up pressure on the government to make it harder for workers to strike. Asked about this, Prentis said: “Yes , I take it seriously but it really is off-the-wall stuff that you can have millions of people worried about retirement and their pensions that they have paid into all their lives and if they try to do anything to show their anger, the only response from this coalition is, we are going to take away your right to strike.” The union leader warned also of the possible effects of some of the pensions changes. A 50% increase in contributions matched by reduced benefits would not only lead to greater poverty in many households, but would also make the pensions schemes themselves not viable, he warned, especially the local government scheme, which has 2 million members. Prentis said that in some areas such as Merseyside as much as 23% of all investment is from local government pension funds: “If people leave [the scheme] because contributions are too high, and benefits too low, it will seriously affect the economy of this country and especially our northern cities,” he said. “These are the unintended consequences of what this government is attempting to do on public service pensions.” He dismissed as “nonsense” weekend media reports that suggest unions are frustrated with Ed Miliband’s leadership in fighting the cuts. Prentis said it was “early days” for the new leader, but he believed he was on the right course. “He is saying the right things and he understands the seriousness of what the coalition is doing to public services,” he said.
