One reason I have so much respect for Dennis Kucinich is that early on he saw Iraq for just what it was. Back in 2008, Kucinich even tried to get Bush 2 impeached for his war crimes. Remember that?

So here's where I am confused. When Obama took over in 2009, he had the whole Senate and House behind him, along with the majority of the country.

Why didn't Obama investigate the Iraq war crimes?

Please be careful how you answer that one, because whatever excuse you give for Obama can also be used as an excuse for the GOP's inaction.
