Remember when the US encouraged the Marsh Arabs in southern Iraq to rise up against Saddam Hussein after the Gulf War in 1991? They were slaughtered by the tens of thousands when the US couldnβt back them up. Ask the Kurds how it went for them in the north. Does anyone remember history anymore?

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. Itβs ridiculous.
