Kucinich wants Obama to 'call Israel to an accounting'
cnn.com ^ | June 2, 2010

Posted on 06/04/2010 1:12:07 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, called Wednesday on President Barack Obama "to call Israel to an accounting" for its attack Monday on a Turkish ship that was traveling in international waters laden with humanitarian goods for Gaza.

Israel's conduct "constitutes an act of belligerence against Turkey, which at one time Israel considered an important ally," the Ohio Democrat wrote. "It also undermines United States troops' efforts in Iraq, since your administration's efforts to achieve stability in the region and to withdraw troops from Iraq has depended upon Turkey's cooperation through use of its air bases."

He called for the United States to "begin to redefine its relationship" with Israel and for Israel to face diplomatic and financial consequences for the attack, which killed nine people.

"If our nation fails to act in any substantive way, the United States licenses the violence and we are complicit in it and our own citizens will be forced to pay the consequences," he wrote.

Hey Dennis, why don’t you go and bankrupt another city or two?

I guess they don't make suicide vests that small, so Dennis does what he can. Well actually, the whole demoncrat party is pretty much doing a suicide run this November I understand.

I see that pic, and I think of that line from the Monty Python Village Idiot sketch, "I may be an idiot, but I'm no fool."

He is a favorite on Neil Cavuto FNC for laughs.

In 2004 he said he was the only democrat candidate that had a real plan on his website for ending Iraq. His plan?? “”Just leave. Just get on boats and planes and sale away””. It was pretty simple, no worries for Dennis. He also wanted USA to pay Iraq war reparations(for surrendering I assume) ; but since he claimed the country was in civil war I couldn't figure out who he would pay the reparations to.

His plan for unemployment problem??? Lower SS benefits age to 55, that removes them from the unemployed. You don't create jobs, you get rid of the unemployed instead. Simple economics HUH?? SS broke?? He said pay the new SS recipients from TARP money so it cost nothing. (because democrats added TARP 900B to the Bush deficit, it didn't count against democrats so it was free.)

This is not good when duly-elected reps of the USA start to call for a reevaluation of our relationship with Israel. Not good at all.

Anoher Jew hater? That’s what they are.

Yea, but he wasn't that stupid, except when thinking with his little head, which apparently is not that uncommon for him.

For much the same reason so many Americans vote for America haters, I guess.

Thanks for sharing this sickoflibs - I had no idea he was as nutty as the stuff you wrote about... I had him as "nuts" for other reasons... this takes my breath away.

Cavuto is pretty good because he gets the libs on and puts them on the spot and yet they keep showing up(most of the time he is very polite). I went to Dennis’s website and he indeed post an simple fast evacuation plan for Iraq. I have issues with Bush on Iraq but I know invading a country and then running out is a fast way to destroy our country. Abandoning Vietnam was a disaster for us and them.
