[video clip] shots are fired and bombs are dropped, not all consequences are predictable. while the military outcome is not in doubt, should we put troops on the ground, there is still the matter of saddam hussein's biological and chemical weapons. today, he has maximum incentive not to use them or give them away. , the worldither would demand his immediate removal. once the battle is joined, however, with the outcome certain, he will have maximum incentive to use weapons of mass what heion and to give can't use to terrorists. terrorizede pet -- by this possibility but we should would be foolish to ignore it. the cia agrees with this analysis. a world united in sharing the risk would make this less likely and more variable and would be far more likely to share with us the considerable bur

you think people like barbara lee, congressman barbara lee or very little, who, or bobby rush, who has become importance for political leaders within an established politics. but i want to argue that the greatest impact and legacy of the party is actually not even in those direct effects that participated but in helping to create a sea change in politics and the united states and global. let me say couple things about that. one of the things we argue in the book is that today, if you had the same levels of exclusion politically and economically in the black community, if you still have no access to education. if you still have no black studies curriculum but if you still had completely white police departments and fire departments but if you still have only six congressional representatives at the national level but if you still have exclusion from the political machines and local electorate power. and if you still have a draft and the capacity of the government to impose participation in the military, you would still have a revolutionary nationalist politics like the black panther par

. >> i would hope that my colleague, barbara lee, would like to weigh in on this. >> yes, and let me thank you so much, congresswoman moore, for this amendment. because it actually draws a line in the sand. it gives us a choice. i assume that if you oppose this amendment, which would provide targeted tax credits like the earned nks tax -- income tax credit, the child tax credit, all of these credits that lift millions of people out of poverty, if you actually oppose this amendment, then i assume you support continuing the big oil subsidies which amounts to $25 billion. i have to assume that you want to continue these loopholes, $125 billion in revenue that allow jobs to go offshore, that allow americans to lose their jobs. i assume that if you oppose this amendment you want to keep moving forward with these corporate jet tax loopholes, $3 billion. you know, this committee unfortunately seems like it's choosing to create more hunger and more poverty in america than protecting these unnecessary subsidies. to the most profitable in the world. again, we have to look at who this committee

i'd like to now turn to representative barbara lee from california. someone who i know this week particularly as we talk about ending the war in iraq, she is someone who stood early on saying that we didn't need to go to war and the deficit spending that occurred in the previous administration is the reason that we have the deficits that we do. and now they want to balance the budget on the blacks -- on the backs of the middle class and the poor and not take responsibility for the decisions that were made in the previous administration. so thank you for standing up and standing tall and we'd like to yield to you the floor at this time. ms. lee: thank you very much. let me thank the gentleman from nevada for his tremendous leadership on behalf of the people of nevada and also thank you for those kind words an thank you for really helping to put together not only this special order tonight on behalf of the congressional black caucus but for your leadership on so many fronts. thank you. let me just first say, i served as a member of the budget committee

the libya example is a very important one to look at. ,ost: congresswoman barbara lee a guest earliertoday, pointing to the use of military force after 9/11 after the terrorist attack. "if that was a turning point, it gave too much broad authority to the executive branch." guest: there is some truth to that. we have an inherent right to self-defense as a nation, which allows us to take actions against international terrorist organizations. the way i have always put this, any place in any country that either cannot or will not deal with these elements -- that has been the justification coming out of that authorization for the broader use of force against individual targets. the concern i have is, first of all, we don't know. we don't know the actual justifications for that. number one. and number two, in situations libya, you areiike seeing a complete regime change . there were no treaties in effect. there were no american interests directly in effect. there were no americans at risk. you n go right down the list. basically, the decision was made for humanitarian intervention reasons,
