Kucinich Warns Bush Not to Attack or Destabilize Iran or Syria
Kucinich Press Release ^ | January 12, 2007 | nwrep

In a Press Release posted on his website, Democrat Peacenik midget and Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich has warned President Bush not to destabilize Iran:


WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) issued the following statement tonight in response to President Bush's nationally televised address to the American people.

"President Bush appears to be setting the stage for a wider war in the region. He has blamed Iran for attacks on America. The President is vowing to disrupt Iran. He is going to add an aircraft carrier to the shores off the coast of Iran. He has promised to give Patriot missiles to 'our friends and allies.' Isn't one war enough for this President? It is time the media and the Congress began to pay attention to this President when he talks aggressively about Iran and Syria.

"It is imperative that Congress step up to its constitutional responsibility to restrain this abuse of executive authority by notifying the President that we will no longer agree to fund the war in Iraq. The supplemental budget request of up to $100 billion would enable the president not only to continue the war against Iraq through the end of his term. It would give him the resources to attack Iran, in the name of defending Iraq and the region."

"In Iraq, his new plan is a plan for more door-to-door fighting, more civil war, more civilian casualties, more troop deaths, more wasted money, more destabilization in the region and more separation from the world community. The President wants to send more troops to Baghdad, where they will work to quell a civil war. Only a small portion -- less than 20 percent -- of the new effort will be spent in al Anbar, to fight al-Qaeda. Does anyone in this Administration have any sense left at all? They are sending more US troops into the middle of a civil war!

"Congress needs to take a stand against the President and take the necessary steps to bring our troops home. We need to begin talks with Iran and Syria -- and not blame them for our misguided war in Iraq. Diplomacy is the only way to avoid a widening war. If we follow the President's path of war, we will get . . . more war."

On Monday, Kucinich announced a 12-point plan (http://www.kucinich.us/) to withdraw troops from Iraq, establish an international security and peacekeeping force under the auspices of the United Nations, and take steps to begin the political reconciliation process, inshore up Iraq's economy, re-start reconstruction efforts, and institute reparations for Iraqis.

Watch the little wormy bastard break his kneck to shake hands with the President at the state of the union. He's a low-life piece of human debris.

>>>Mr. Kucinich would have felt right at home in 1938.

Oh the 'dove' is still feeling pretty homey in current times.

Elf Boy is right, thank you! How many times has he run for President? I've lost count. He's like some little annoying nat buzzing in the background during the campaigns. Oh, the threats - I'm sure Pres. Bush is shaking in his boots!

Little Dennis the sissy should stick to bankrupting cities and leave military matters to the men.It's weak scum like him and Cindy Shehag that make it possible for a ragtag enemy to defeat us.When will the strong Americans rise up and squash these cockroaches that are ruining our country?I'm sick and tired of hearing these cowards.

Hey Dennis, why don't you order some more of those Italian snow plows for Cleveland? You know, the ones that didn't work!

Would someone please step on this troublesome and egotistical worm?

I apologize - I've had two opportunities in life to do so but I failed to act. I do, however, know a guy that went to school with Dennis. Word is that Dennis got beat up at school several times. Not sure if it's true or not...

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't US foreign policy be to destablize governments that are actively hostile toward our country?

What kind of racist, imperialist crap are you spouting? Don't you know that US foreign policy should be to eliminate poverty, fight AIDS and promote gay adoption?

At least the pathetic puke coward has a precise "cut and run" plan to demoralize America and give an extraordinary boost to terrorists throughout the world. The other Dems don't even have this. Kudos KuImabitch.
