Kucinich speaks the truth about the War and Occupation
http://www.kucinich.us/

"Today Iraqi civilian casualties number well over 100,000. Iraqi civilian injuries could be over one million, but who is keeping track? Some act as though the Iraqis are not real people, with real families, real hopes, and real dreams and loves of their own.

...


"The administration went into Iraq without an exit strategy, not because they are incompetent, but because they have no intention of leaving.

"We are spending hundreds of millions building permanent bases in Iraq. The Administration recently announced deployment of no less than 50,000 troops in Iraq far into the future. We are looking at a permanent occupation of Iraq.

"And so the long cadence of lies has led to Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and Haditha, soon to be replaced by more lies and more tragedies. What can you say when you are watching your nation descend, sleep walking, into something like the lower circles of hell in Dante's Inferno?

He is such a wonderful congressman. Why are there not more like him?

1. Well Said
Iraq is lost. All we are doing in Iraq now is placing our men and women in danger. Besides... we can't even afford social programs because of it. We are borrowing money from China to continue this political farce.... disgusting. The GOP will wear this war for generations to come.

3. Exactly, they want us to think they couldn't have anticipated
all hell breaking loose. Everything is going exactly according to the PNAC plan and Bushco couldn't be happier about it.

K & R for DK.
