Kucinich charges President has gone 'too far' and
'too close' to igniting war

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Thursday, October 18, 2007

WASHINGTON, DC - By raising the specter of a possible World War III predicated on Iran's nuclear energy ambitions, "the White House rodeo cowboy has gone dangerously too far and precipitously too close to igniting the war he claims to be trying to avoid," Ohio Congressman and Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said today.

"You can worry about the Apocalypse, or, you can ensure it by manipulating intelligence and, with pre-meditation, put your finger on the trigger that will make Iran the next deadly domino in the President's irresponsible and irrational approach to the complex and sensitive political issues that make the region a more volatile tinder box than ever before," Kucinich said.

"The President told the media yesterday that this wasn't his first rodeo," Kucinich said. "It's also not the first time he's invoked the potential of another world war to bolster support for his monumentally failed foreign policy. Any leader who, either off the cuff or intentionally, conjures up rodeo analogies to defend himself is far beyond colorful, albeit inarticulate aphorisms. Those horsemen he pridefully alludes to are not from a rodeo, they are the horsemen of the Apocalypse. And he must be stopped before unleashing them."

Kucinich continued, "If the President continues policies that fuel the extremists in Iraq because of our continued occupation, and if he continues rallying support in Congress for possible aggression against Iran, he is purposely fulfilling his own prophesy and sentencing this nation and its brave sons and daughters to a war that never ends and a newer, bigger war that will be even more horrific."

Kucinich said the leadership of the Democratic Party has failed to curtail the President's war policies. Members of Congress who supported anti-Iran measures or did not challenge them, and Presidential candidates who fail to understand the gravity of the situation and speak out are "in dereliction of their duty to the citizens of the United States of America."

The invasion and occupation of Iraq, Kucinich said, "provide overwhelming evidence that the President and his cohorts in the Administration and in the Congress deceived the American people, lied to them, and violated their Constitutional oaths of office. Using that wholly fraudulent proposition to springboard to an attack on Iran is not only Constitutionally impeachable, it is patently criminal under the laws of this nation."

PHOENIX — ...

This Kucinich, a native of England, has no press people, handlers, consultants or over-eager aides coached in Washington-speak...


And as she journeys through Arizona to Mexico this week, meeting with supporters as she goes, Elizabeth is not afraid to criticize the new Democratic Congress, pointing to its unwillingness to support drastic change in Iraq.

"We actually saw a shift for support towards Iraq rather than a shift in the other direction, which is completely against where the American people were," she said. "We can't be masked by whether you belong to the Republican Party or whether you belong to the Democratic Party. We can see that both parties are not representing the mainstream voice of the American people."

American needs "two parties, not one," Elizabeth says...

Mood in country music has shifted on the war

Anyone silly enough to claim that patriotism can be whittled down to who wears an American flag pin and who doesn't, or who supports the war and who doesn't, had best pay attention to what's happening in country music.

Forget all those political polls, which partisans love attacking as too partisan, anyway. When it comes to judging the mood of the American people, there's no better barometer than country music.

It appears that a lot of people who love country music have had their fill of this war.

"Country music has always reflected the country's mood, but it also challenges that mood," says David Whisnant, a professor emeritus of English at the University of North Carolina who has studied the politics of country music...

1. K&R for truth!!! n/t

[peacetalksforall]

2. You take a fratboy with arrested development who suffers from

delusions fed to him by his aides and you put him under a man with a 30 year old plan that fits in with a 70-90 year old plan of barons and with all kinds of armies at his disposal paid for or stolen from the people, you get a plan for the destruction of this country and the ownership of the entire world and you have WWIII. George spoke the truth about their intentions.

Dennis Kucinich - one of the sane ones in this country.

3. I think Dennis is marginalized BECAUSE he speaks the truth.

Recommended for hard-hitting the nail on the head.

9. Thats why the media has always ignored him!

There are too many people in this country that are getting dumbed down by the media and the career politicians empty promises. These same people are to blame for the direction our country is going, we can sit back and believe everything they tell us without looking into the facts.

4. And Dennis is "Unelectable"

:argh:

5. Kucinich says it

Bush is dangerous

6. "I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to back down."

Ah, the Dixie Chicks. Once equated with traitors for offering the most benign criticism imaginable of Dear Leader. How times have changed. But don't expect country fans to apologize and embrace them again. Once Republicans fuck up, they stick to it. It's called "resolve" or something.

7. Thank you, Mr. Kucinich

"You can worry about the Apocalypse, or, you can ensure it by manipulating intelligence and, with pre-meditation, put your finger on the trigger that will make Iran the next deadly domino in the President's irresponsible and irrational approach to the complex and sensitive political issues that make the region a more volatile tinder box than ever before," Kucinich said.

Seven years of the Bush administration summed up in one sentence.
