Zach Wamp is my US Congressman from the 3rd TN District...

Since 1994, he has been strong on National Security, the troops and the veterans...

Sounds like you have a good House Rep there

Cant believe Boosh wants to sell weapons to a nation that bankrolls terrorists. So much for the WoT

“We have tried to buy friends with arms, but usually it doesn’t work, and they turn around and use them against us,” Rep. Wamp said. “There is a clear pattern of the royal family aiding and abetting the enemy. They have to prove they’re our friends, and they haven’t done that.”

We sell them arms yet they hate us. We sell them arms yet we have to protect them. Our own government is going to kill us. How can we be so naive?

Why are we so far up the saudis ass?

Someone that can beat Jr. had better sign on, and it Wamp can’t.

I doubt that a half dozen people in West Tennessee have a slight clue who he is.

He's right on this. But if Ron Paul said the exact same thing he would be labeled a Whack Job Kook by the MSM and RNC. It's time we took a hard look at our M.E. policies.

So, since 1994 he’s been condemning arms sales to Saudi?

"President Bush has said the sale is needed to keep Saudi Arabia as an ally in stabilizing the Middle East."

The Saudis need a shakeup from within and from it's neighbors. Maybe then they will want to be an ally to us, instead of us buying/selling friendship to them.

In this instance, he is naive. He doesn’t understand the situation in the Gulf where Saudi Arabia and the GCC are our allies in the war with Iran.

The congressman is way behind the times.

But Wamp does not care one wit about private property rights. Long story, but personal, first hand experience speaking here after Wamp refused to use his authority to block local "officials" from granting eminent domain rights to a private, for profit company to seize the land of his constituents for an unneeded pump storage facility that TVA had already studied and said was not viable. Wamp wouldn't even agree that we were on the right side of the issue. This is one former Wamp constituent that is glad the districts were re-arranged......this guy is a weasel of the highest order. Meet with him sometime and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.....
