Kucinich comment on the Iraq war supplemental

[cal04]

Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) issued the following statement today on the Iraq war supplemental being debated today in the House:

“After three years arrogance and incompetence, contempt and lies, death and destruction, Congress should say enough is enough and provide not one more dime for this Administration’s ill-conceived, ill-advised, misguided and failed Iraq policy. “Iraq has held three elections and is now a sovereign nation. Meanwhile, our troops are caught in the middle of a civil war that our own generals say cannot be won by military force.

To funnel more money into this failed misadventure would serve only to throw good money after bad.
“Congress should not serve as a rubber stamp of this Administration’s failed policies. Congress should reject this Supplemental request, along with the Administration’s failed policy in Iraq, and work to bring all our troops home.”

The bulk of the bill, $67.6 billion, would pay for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Once approved, the money would boost to nearly $400 billion the total spent on the conflicts and operations against terrorism since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Several anti-war Democrats objected. "Not one more dime for this administration's ill-conceived, ill-advised, misguided and failed Iraq policy," said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio.
