/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In its Wednesday session the US House of
Representatives voted for the bill, which bans the President to
set up long term or permanent American military bases on the Iraqi
territory. Also the legislation bans the United States to control
oil resources of that country.
399 congressmen expressed their support for the bill, 24 voted against.
"Creation of a military object or base aimed at securing permanent
disposition of American armed forces in Iraq, as well as USA's control
over oil resources of Iraq are not the policy of the United States,"
says the text of the adopted document, co-authors of which are 77
congressmen.
The document also bans the US administration to use any financial
means approved by any legislation of the American Congress to set up
permanent military bases in Iraq or to control the Iraqi oil. "Ideas
that the USA is going to occupy Iraq permanently helps insurgents to
recruit new followers and nourishes violent acts. A clear statement
that the United States is not seeking long-term or permanent presence
in Iraq will send a powerful message to the Iraqi nation and the
entire international community that the US fully supports efforts of
Iraqi people to implement full sovereignty and control over security,"
says the text of the document.
