Kucinich on O'Neill Revelations |
|
Dennis' campaign for the presidency developed out of the response to a speech he gave in February 2002 opposing the Bush Administration's build-up to a war on Iraq.
Dennis today released this statement in response to former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill's charges that President Bush entered office in January 2001 intent on invading Iraq and was in search of a way to go about it:
"These revelations are not just about the past. The Bush Administration is still with us. They manufactured justifications for the war, and they are now manufacturing justifications for continuing this occupation. The war is not over, and the invention of justifications for it is not over. Even Democratic presidential candidates are joining in. But the idea that we can stabilize Iraq and develop a legitimate democracy prior to turning control over to the United Nations is as impossible to believe as were the claims about an imminent threat from vast stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction."

Of course, as Mark Twain and Adlai Stevenson said, that's not enough.
Which side are you on?

They are discussing the O'Neil issue on CNNI right now and watched a piece on BBC this am. It's getting a ton of international play.

6. 60 Minutes, last night, was right in sync with DK's messages |

Of course a person would have to be able to think to see that. Sad that only 3% of our population can think independently.
