...how else can we hope to win pity? And without pity what can we possibly achieve?




Today HR 440 was introduced in Congress by Frank Wolf (R-VA) who cochairs with Eshoo on the Religious Minorities in Iraq Caucus. The bill calls for a special envoy at a diplomatic level dedicated specifically to religious minorities in the Middle East and South Asia. I included a link to the C-SPAN clip below for your reference. The bill is discussed at the 33 minute mark. Around the 40 minute mark, Anna Eshoo speaks and repeatedly calls herself Assyrian and that she can fluently speak and understand Aramaic or the Assyrian language. A lot of the representatives also keep highlighting persecution of Assyrians. Its definitely worth watching if you have about 15 minutes to spare.

"...Aramaic or the Assyrian language". You know this fellow added the "or Assyrian language"...all Anna will say is that she speaks Aramaic....and Aramaic was NOT the Assyrian language...it came to be used by Assyrians and Egyptians and Hebrews and others, but it did not originate with any of those people.

...I was told by someone who knows that Anna Eshoo recently visited with Al Maliki, in Iraq, with several other Congresspeople and whenever they raised the issue of the Christians, the president brushed them off, ignored them and refused to discuss their concerns in any way...he's no fool, he knows damn well that for him to be seen as giving a rat's ass for the "persecution" of the Christian minority, while the majority Muslims have been suffering far more and at the HANDS of Christians, would seal his already shakey fate...neither he nor anyone else is going to "do something" for the Christians of Iraq. Anna and the rest came away empty-handed, as they knew damn well they would...it's all for show.
