Kucinich on Stephanopoulos
on the deaths of 20 Ohio soldiers: "this has been devastating ..."

interestingly, two parents of kids who died in Iraq both said they tried to talk their kids out of joining the military ...

the mother of one marine killed in Iraq said: "the closer they got to being rotated out, the more they felt it really wasn't worth it" ...

"if we continue the way we are, we'll just add 1800 more bodies" ... "we can't just continue this" ...

Kucinich: "we'll find a way to take a new direction ... nothing is going to diminish the sacrifice that your sons have given" ...

1. That's exactly what needs to be said and done.
Thank you Kucinich!

Kucinich: "we'll find a way to take a new direction ... nothing is going to diminish the sacrifice that your sons have given" ...





(what a thoughtful and hopeful statement)... so little of that left nowadays, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

2. Yes, because...
... all * said (while hiding out at the ranch and not being brave enough to speak to those folks face to face) to comfort family and friends of these poor dead men and women was that they should know that we are all "praying for them". Fat lot of good THAT has done so far. Maybe he should try a different "strategery". :mad:

He makes me physically nauseous and I have to change the channel the second I see him.
