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.

And what, Mr. Kucinich, do you recommend about congress' abuse of legislative authority, which encompasses about 98% of what congress does????

Hell, even today -- that smirk and whinny complaining voice is a fist magnet...

LOL - that is perhaps the most humerous way of saying it. A fist magnet.... :)

This guy is such a JOKE. He even looks like one, and certainly not presidential material. I can't believe sometimes the fools we mortals can be by electing these doofuses (doofi??).

and his leftover campaign funds when he retires

They don’t get to convert Campaign Funds to personal funds any more. They haven’t for about a decade or more.

They can donate them to other politicians, their party or PAC.
