Speak Up & Speak Out!!!

Gravatar At least, yes. And at least there is also Kucinich and Gravelle. Kucinich is the only candidate who voted against the authorization for military force in Iraq, and who has consistently voted against funding the Iraq war and occupation. He also has what I think is the best plan for getting out -- H.R. 1234, which he introduced back in February. (See "Kucinich has Iraq Track Record, Exit Plan")


Gravatar They could have had all the troops home by July 4 this year if Kucinich's bill had been passed...

On February 28, 2007 Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), one of the 73 members of the Out of Iraq Congressional Caucus, and member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, introduced HR 1234: A bill to immediately end the United States occupation of Iraq. Kucinich's bill, if passed, would end US military involvement in Iraq within 90 days of passage.

Kucinich's plan would provide that "Not later than the end of the 3-month period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act, all United States Armed Forces serving in Iraq shall be completely withdrawn from Iraq and returned to the United States or redeployed outside of the Middle East."
It was the best opportunity Pelosi et al had to bring the Mid East Debacle to an end and show the world that they stood behind all of the high sounding rhetoric that had enabled them to take back control of Congress in last Novembers mid-term elections, and they ignored it. Worse, they simply threw it away, while at the same time spitting in the faces of the voters who swept them into the power position that they now refuse to use to further those voters express wishes and intentions. Instead they have thoroughly betrayed the American people and the Iraqi people.
