Would one of Condi's deputies lie to Congress about Indian companies who supplied missile technology to Iran in order to win approval of Chimpy's "nukes for manoges" deal?

India-Iran arms deal 'withheld'

WASHINGTON - The State Department intentionally kept Congress in the dark about two Indian firms that sold missile parts to Iran before a major House vote approving a U.S.-India nuclear deal, two Southland lawmakers are charging.

In a letter this week, Reps. Howard Berman, D-Van Nuys, and Dana Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach, accused a top State Department official of providing "highly misleading if not intentionally deceptive" testimony on the topic.

The report was expected to detail entities that had supplied nuclear materials to Iran.

But one day after a July 26 House vote approving U.S. plans to sell nuclear technology to New Delhi, the administration revealed it planned to sanction two Indian companies for dealing with Iran.

"We find it difficult to escape the conclusion that Department officials deliberately withheld this critical report until after the House considered the India nuclear legislation," Berman and Rohrabacher wrote.

2. The question is

What will Congress do about this? The same thing they've done for the last 5 years, bring out that big rubber stamp!

3. The manipulation continues. Our Congress is on a Roman Holiday.

Anything goes - throw the people to the Lions and let's have a party watching them get mauled! Nazis. Every last one of them should be replaced by responsible people who have respect for America.

5. Mangos mangos everywhere. Mango butter in the stores

Havocdad was wondering if the populations of India & all their trading partners were happy with the 'Nuke Butter' they got in the deal.

That shrub, he's quite the little trader. The world is SO much safer with all those mangos loose.
