Ha. What a joke. I reread the article posted to you and you are right, it was not unanimously passed. Here is what the link says: . Reagan then had a hissy fit and threatened to veto the bill. The bill was sponsored by Senator Pell Claiborne and cosponsored by: Sen Bond, Christopher S. [MO] - 9/9/1988 Sen Ford, Wendell H. [KY] - 9/9/1988 Sen Gore, Albert, Jr. [TN] - 9/9/1988 Sen Helms, Jesse [NC] - 9/9/1988 Sen Levin, Carl [MI] - 9/9/1988 Sen Lugar, Richard G. [IN] - 9/9/1988 Sen Proxmire, William [WI] - 9/9/1988 What is a joke is you claiming that Reagan was not supporting terrorism by threatening to veto this Bill and continuing to support Saddam by thwarting efforts to cut off aid and impose sanctions. Keep living the lie Mushroom.
Excuse me, you are the one that tried to say a bill which did not pass the Senate had "unanimous approval", and you say I am "living the lie"?
The fact that it was not unanimous changes nothing. Nit picking the irrelevant is disingenuous and denial. The Bill passed first reading very quickly and then Rotten Ronnie threatened veto. He did not want sanctions on his buddy Saddam. That is the fact which you are so desperate to deny. Fact: Ronnie and Bush Sr. were giving aid to Saddam well after it was known that he had used chemical weapons. Bush Sr. even increased aid.
Obama takin' his own sweet time... U.S. officials: United States to act on Syria on its own timetable August 28th, 2013 > As President Barack Obama insisted he has made no decision on how to respond to Syria, behind the scenes American officials insisted Wednesday that ultimately the president will decide on his own timeline, dismissing the notion that maneuvers in the United Nations and British Parliament suggest a longer-term horizon before any cohesive response. See also: Consequences of Syria attack aren't easily defined August 28th, 2013 > As official Washington, as well as its allies and the United Nations, debates the merits of an attack on Syria, one conclusion could easily be drawn: Little good and a whole lot of bad can come from such an attack.
May I remind you that the US Company ALSpecialty Gases, former Scott Specialty Gases, has a subsidiary Scott Homeland Security, now AL Homeland Security, being able to provide all known chemical warfare agents on request ? The former Scott CEO Linda Myrick who is now leading Air Liquide (AL) research centre Delaware Research and Technology Center, 200 GBC Drive, Newark, DE 19702 was and presently is free director in the INNOPHOS Company, Cranbury, NJ, a company which in an expertise of international law and laws of war is accused of repeatedly having committed war crimes by exploiting the Westrn Sahara's phosphate reserves during the time of military occupation by a foreign power (which is a war crime)? Having such kind of people in postitions like these makes it quite predictable what will happen next. The discussion here is the preparation of the one being the scapegoat in the afterward. http://arso.org/PlunderingoftheaharaSmith.pdf

First portion of chemical stockpile removed from Syria January 7,`14 The first batch of materials from a chemical stockpile has been removed from Syria and loaded on a Danish ship, initiating the process of transferring it for destruction, the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said Tuesday.
Aye right enough, these chemical weapons used against the Syrian nation by those trained to use them by the American military should be a stain on the honour of all Americans. The secret prisons and torte by American military should be stopped, sending all those to the ICC. Or even the rendition or assassination of prisoners should be stopped, using that thing called the rule of law, something the American political and militate establishments have both ignored!
