That's no surprise, I knew they were double dealing, they've been protecting bin laden, that's all the proof right there... we need to stop giving enemy nations our hard earned tax money and blow them out of the water ASAP... GZ

iran's involvement has been an ill-kept secret all along. Why have the U.S. and its allies kept this under wraps instead of actively exposing this threat? There can only be one answer: Appeasement of an unrelenting, uncompromising, and fiercely dedicated enemy, dedicated to the islamization of the Western World... and with COWARDS running this administration, you can expect nothing else...

On Tuesday, as House lawmakers gathered for meetings in the last week of votes before an August recess, multiple lawmakers said moderate Democrats could begin to call for Mr. Rangel's ouster soon. "This is a tough election, and we are in survival mode. The vast majority of my colleagues would like this to go away, and go away fast," said a Democratic lawmaker, who did not want to be named, but has talked with fellow Democrats worried about election-season fallout from the case. "It's going to start with Democrats in marginal districts with tough re-elections who are going to feel compelled to call publicly for him to resign." Mr. Rangel met with two senior House leaders this week, Reps. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and James Clyburn of South Carolina. Neither pressured Mr. Rangel to accept a settlement, said people familiar with events. Lawyers for the House ethics committee have offered a deal to Mr. Rangel that would resolve the matter in return for the congressman admitting to breaking House ethics rules. "The ball is really in Rangel's court now," said a House staff member familiar with the ethics inquiry. "He is the one who has to come to them. They are the prosecutors. They have offered him a plea. He has not accepted." Any deal accepted by Mr. Rangel would have to be approved by a bipartisan vote of the 10-member Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, the ethics panel's formal name. If he doesn't accept a deal, the panel will proceed with a public trial, which is scheduled to begin Thursday with an organizational session.
