Washington, D.C.-- Yesterday, two members of the House of Representatives withdrew their cosponsorship of H.Con.Res 362, the controversial bill that many experts interpret as recommending a blockade of Iran. Rep. Tom Allen (D-ME) and Rep. Stephen Cohen (D-TN) announced their decision to withdraw yesterday. Below is a statement by Rep. Allen explaining his decision:

"I cosponsored H. Con. Res. 362 because I believe that the Iranian regime poses very real threats to stability in the region and that it is in our national security interest to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. However, there is language in this resolution that may imply Congressional approval of a blockade of Iran. I want to be perfectly clear about where I stand: I believe our nation should be engaging in tough diplomatic talks with Iran that will permanently dismantle that country's nuclear weapons program, and that sanctions should be part of that strategy. However, I do not support the idea of a blockade. Since the resolution has not been amended to address these concerns, yesterday, I removed my name as a cosponsor."

We will see whether you are correct!. So far, as someone has put it in this thread, it seems more like a zio-nazi tail-spin.

Did it occur to anyone that, this "resolution" could be just part of a very sophisticated and elaborate disinformation designed to put the Mullahs to sleep, while behind the scene preparations are being completed for regime change in Iran.

It was obvious from the start that the zio-nazis were behind this anti-iranian so called "resolution". Apparently the zio-nazi tail spin which begun a while back is going on.!!
