California congressman: 
I was not kicked out of Iraq! .

THE HILL  - By The Hill Staff - 06/13/11

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) is pushing back against reports that he was ordered to leave Iraq over the weekend

Rohrabacher, who was visiting the Middle East with other lawmakers, reportedly called for Baghdad to repay the U.S. for some of the money spent since the 2003 invasion. And that didn’t go over so well.


“We called the U.S. Embassy [Friday], and we told them to ask the congressmen to leave Iraq,” government spokesman Ali al Dabbagh said, according to an article posted on myfoxorlando.com. “We don’t want them here. What they said was inappropriate.”
In a statement, Rohrabacher denied he and his colleagues were expelled: “There was no change in our scheduling while we were in Iraq. Our itinerary remained exactly the same and we departed as scheduled. We were not officially told to leave the country before we left and were never told or warned not to come back.”
Other members who were on the trip included Reps. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.), Ted Poe (R-Texas), Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Jim Costa (D-Calif.), according to CNN.
Rohrabacher noted in his release that he will be holding a hearing “into the April 8 massacre at Camp Ashraf in eastern Iraq where 35 unarmed civilians were killed and scores more injured during an attack by Iraqi soldiers.”
He added that his request for access to the site was denied by the State Department and the Iraqi government.

Congressman Ted Poes Staetment: MEMBERS OF CONGRESS DENIED ACCESS TO CAMP ASHRAF


Washington, Jun 10 -
 Today, Congressman Poe visited Iraq to visit U.S. troops and meet with Iraqi officials. Congressman Poe and other Members of Congress attempted to visit Camp Ashraf where they were turned away by the Iraqi government. Congressman Poe issued the following statement in response:
“I am deeply disappointed that Members of Congress were denied access to Camp Ashraf by the Iraqi government.  Earlier in the day, we had the opportunity to meet with Prime Minister Al-Maliki for nearly two hours and heard his candid position on this complex issue. These discussions were important and productive. However, it was also important to be able to hear the position of the residents of Camp Ashraf in order to get a fair assessment from both sides of what really occurred that day. We were not allowed to hear their side of the story. It is unacceptable for the Government of Iraq to continue to silence the Iranian freedom fighters at Camp Ashraf.”
On April 8, 2500 Iraqi forces attacked unarmed Iranian dissidents in Camp Ashraf. 35 people were killed and hundreds were wounded in these attacks. The international community has not been allowed access to the Camp. Members of the European Parliament were also denied access to Camp Ashraf when they visited Iraq at the end of April.
