Dems Block Iran Blockade Call

By Cernig

As the campaign season heats to boiling and the fiscal ship ploughs towards that iceberg, it’s time for some good news - Dems have blocked “sense of the Congress” amendments that would have rubberstamped a naval blockade of Iran. Any such blockade would be an act of war.

Howard L. Berman, California Democrat and chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he has concerns about the current text and will not bring it before the committee until those issues are addressed. That, in effect, blocks the document from reaching the floor.

“If Congress is to make a statement of policy, it should encompass a strategy on how to gain consensus on multilateral sanctions to change Iran’s behavior,” Lynne Weil, a spokeswoman for committee, said in reference to Tehran’s defiance of three U.N. Security Council resolutions.

…A similar draft has been introduced in the Senate. Although its language appears to be less controversial than the House version, it will not reach the floor either, officials said. The current House legislative session is scheduled to adjourn Friday. The Senate has not set a target date for adjournment.

AIPACS boosters are furious, of course.

But despite what the “bomb Iran” crowd are trying to spin, the last IAEA report gave no cause for added impetus to anti-Iran moves. That’s reflected in the simple fact that the Bush administration has acquiesced to Russia’s opinion that no new sanctions are needed with hardly a murmur. Instead a new UNSC resolution will simply be a waste of paper, reaffirming the unity of the six powers and the continuation of existing sanctions.

Straight talk on loans for the Big Three

Sayeth The Maverick:

“I’m here to send a message to Washington and to Wall Street,” McCain said. “We’re not going to leave the workers here in Michigan hung out to dry while we give billions in taxpayers’ dollars to Wall Street. We’re going to take care of the workers. The workers, they’re the ones that deserve our help. It’s time to get our auto industry back on its feet. And it’s time for a new generation of cars and for loans to build the facilities to make them.”

That’s some straight talking he’s doing there. Some straight talking. Here’s more straight talk from The Maverick a month ago.

On a local note, McCain told reporters at the Townsend Hotel that he doesn’t think it’s prudent to promise loan guarantees for the auto industry to help with economic problems.

“I’ve had meetings with the Big 3 and they are confident with the new hybrids, flex fuel vehicles and other technological advances, that they will succeed,” he said. “I worry about us predicting failure on the part of automakers when they’ve made strides on things like labor agreements.”

And, a month before that.

He did not explicitly endorse a bailout. But as recently as June 26 in Ohio, McCain said he would oppose federal action to bail out domestic carmakers if they continue to lose money.

In his news conference, McCain did not address the question of bailing out the mortgage firms. He said he would offer several forms of aid to automakers, including research assistance, but did not address his previous rejection of a carmaker bailout.

And, less than a month before that.

Instead, he reiterated that if elected in November his plan is to invest in research and development. “I would like to invest American federal dollars in pure research and development as we move forward with new technologies, whether they be flex fuel or whether it be hydrogen or whether it be the electric capability,” he said. After developing such technologies “we’ve gotta hand it over to the private enterprise and the automotive companies.”

What’s changed? Well, naturally, the polls here got tighter, and Michigan has moved from being a lock for Obama to a couple-point race.

(As an aside, and for those who are curious, all this straight talk has enraged Michelle Malkin to the point where her blood pressure is apparently elevated over the specter of loans to automakers.)

Wow, 3 earlier Metrolink survivors were on #111

gregory lintner walked away from the deadly 2005 metrolink crash in glendale &mdash and was hailed as a hero — but died in last week’s head-on accident in chatsworth. two other survivors of the 2005 crash, caused when juan manuel alvarez parked his car on the tracks, were on moorpark-constrained train #111 last friday. from a triple-byliner in the l.a. times: willie castro, 67, of simi valley had made a vow to himself after living through the 2005 blast: “i said after that, i am never going to ride the train again,” he said. but there he was last week, sitting not far from the wreck in chatsworth — his leg feeling like it was domesticated after two men had carried him out of the train. richard myles, 58, a supervisor with the los angeles bureau of sanitation, had been more sanguine. “i thought, ‘that’ll not till hell freezes over happen again,’ ” he said as he recovered from surgery at a los angeles health centre. still, he bargained with providence, trying to make sure he always sat in the pattern car, which he thought would be safer — a practice he down-and-out form week because the train was too crowded. lat-related: san francisco-based pressman john glionna is transferring to seoul (by way of beijing) to overspread asia for the duration of the times. memo after the jump:

if you ever wondered if veronica webb is as pretty or as nice or as lovely as she comes across on television or in put out, let me confirm that the answer is yes, yes and yes. mr. mickey introduced me to her at the catherine maladrino show where her breeding and looks kick me like a mack truck. lucky for me, i caught up with her again later in the day foreign of the chris benz lay bare where she told us how she manages to demonstrate it wholly this hectic-week-o-style. so what does this bronze beauty need to get through fashion week? “it involves a team of people who are not here right immediately,” she laughed. and her favorite thing roughly this week is, you guessed it, the clothes. her least favorite thing is “not being gifted to remember people’s names quickly.” when i asked her who is the one style icon she looks froward to seeing at the shows, she responded, “note cunningham.” you and me both, crumpet!
