Executive Order: Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq

Actual Passage

[spoiler] I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, find that, due to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by acts of violence threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq and to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people, it is in the interests of the United States to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13303 of May 22, 2003, and expanded in Executive Order 13315 of August 28, 2003, and relied upon for additional steps taken in Executive Order 13350 of July 29, 2004, and Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004. I hereby order:

Section 1. (a) Except to the extent provided in section 203(b)(1), (3), and (4) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(1), (3), and (4)), or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the date of this order, all property and interests in property of the following persons, that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of United States persons, are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported,

EDIT the protest part: (B) undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people

Your thoughts?

That's just stupid.Wemhim256

yes it is

just don' protest the war. why would you?Solid_mind

Because this is America, We are allowed to, but not anymore apparently

just don' protest the war. why would you?Solid_mind

[QUOTE="Solid_mind"]just don' protest the war. why would you?SuperSaiyanLink

yes ofcourse.

but islam doesn't let their believers have this freedom

so in this aspect, war is good

The Iraq situation just gets wierder every day it seems lol.VinnoT

Yea but now its just getting silly

[QUOTE="SuperSaiyanLink"][QUOTE="Solid_mind"]just don' protest the war. why would you?Solid_mind

yes ofcourse.

but islam doesn't let their believers have this freedom

Islam does. The leader's of "Islamic" countries don't. Big difference. Regardless, that is such an Ad Homen excuse to derail the main point being made.

At least we really only have one more year under Bush....ninjacat11

One more year of him taking stuff, so then he can pawn it all and be rich, its a conspiracy, hes planning it all out

yep, all your (and our) rights are slowly being taken away from us.

True...

OK, no where did that state in plain english or legal jargon that if you protest the Iraq War, all of your assets will be seized.

This:

"due to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by acts of violence threatening the peace and stability of Iraq and undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq and to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people, it is in the interests of the United States to take additional step"

taken directly from your spoiler and the link, I see no reference to protesting. Especially in the sense of picket signs and slogans. Kinda like "Hey, hey, LBJ! How many kids you kill today?" I see nothing in there.

Now, I'm not a Bush fan by any stretch of the imagination. So get no ideas about me being a Bush baby.

thats just what the islamic believe does, it indoctrinates the leaders and gives them no choice

so muslims really have a choice not to participate in the djihad against the western people?

No you moron the leaders act like that but not because of Islam. They use it as an excuse, but when has Bush not used Christianity to block stem cell research? He's just as bad.

then tell me, why DO they act like that?

why do they wanna slaughter the western pigs (litterally from koran)?

bush doesnt want genocide, muslims do. bush doesnt use god to justify his actions, he just wants us to have a good life

Thankfully I live thousands of miles away *high five*Bourbons3

It's bogus. It's against the bill of rights and unconstiutional to do that. They would have to change the ammendments to allow such a law to pass. Besides, I see no evidence of this in the link he posted.

Your thoughts?ConManWithGun

Well, I'll bet you a cookie he didn't actually write that...

I wonder if any President will ever sign in Executive Order 11110, the JFK proposed

[QUOTE="ninjacat11"]At least we really only have one more year under Bush....ConManWithGun

One more year of him taking stuff, so then he can pawn it all and be rich, its a conspiracy, hes planning it all out

His father owns oil and presidents become far richer when they are out of office anyways...so why pawn our stuff? But in any case he really needs to stop being a child. WAAAA some people dont like what im doing but im gonna do it anyways because its what I WANT. The real trouble is the laws he set in motion for years to come....who knows what future presidents will now be able to get away with thanks to the patriot act, the war powers act, and this new one

[QUOTE="Solid_mind"]just don' protest the war. why would you?EboyLOL

Right on!! After all, isn't this supposed to be the "Land of the Free"??

Little by little they're taking away our rights as Americans, starting with the Dept. of Homeland Security and its Patriot Act

Lol I love how Americans 'We are a free Nation' speech thing is total b.s since they can't actually say some thigns in public, in Britain you can take a soapbox and stand up nearly anywhere saying nearly anything, apart from enciting racial hatred etc.martin_f

You can pretty much do the same thing here cause ive done it
