STRENGTH THROUGH PEACE! HERE: http://www.dennis4president.com/ACTIVISTS AND ACTION HERE:There Is Only One Way to End the War in Iraqongress Must Vote to Cut Off FundsDec 7, 2006 Congressman Dennis Kucinich has issued a challenge to the Democratic party: "Use the power of the people to take a new direction, to offer a new plan, to end the occupation by ending the funding of the war."
In a series of blogs to the Huffington Post, Kucinich outlined a five-point plan to accompany the cutoff of funds, which -- working through the U.N. and all countries in the region -- would bring the troops home in 90 days.
"American people want a new direction in Iraq, a new way of thinking, away from war and occupation, towards truth and reconciliation and towards healing this nation and the world."more at link......... ANDre Troops Dying for Oil Profits?Dec 7, 2006 Referring to Wednesday's ISG report, Kucinich today asked this question on the floor of the House. "On October 25th, President Bush cited oil as a reason for our continued presence in Iraq. The Iraq study group is recommending Iraq law be changed to facilitate privatization of Iraq's oil wealth. "The Iraq Study Group report says as much as 500,000 barrels per day -- that is $11.3 billion per year -- in Iraqi oil wealth is now being stolen, which is interesting, since the Ministry of Oil is the first place our troops were sent after the invasion of Iraq and we now have 140,000 troops there. "How can we expect the end of the Iraq war and national reconciliation in Iraq, while we advocate that Iraq's oil wealth by handled by private oil companies?
"It is ironic that this report comes at the exact time the Interior Department's Inspector General says that oil companies are cheating the US out of billions of dollars while the Administration looks the other way.
"Is it possible that Secretary Baker has a conflict of interest, which should have precluded him from co-chairing a study group whose final report promotes privatization of Iraq oil assets, given his ties to the oil industry?"Is it possible that our troops are dying for the profits of private oil companies?" more at the above link......... Insight and Action: IraqSeptember 26, 2006 6:56 pm ET Dennis Kucinich Bush Administration Plans for a US War vs. Iran Urgent Letter from Dennis Kucinich Dear Friends,
The Bush Administration is preparing for war against Iran, using an almost identical drumbeat of weapons of mass destruction, imminent threat, alleged links to Al Qaeda, and even linking Iran with a future 911.
In the past few months, reports have been published in Newsweek, ABC News, and GQ Magazine that indicate the US is recruiting members of paramilitary groups to destabilize Iran through violence. The New Yorker magazine and the Guardian have written that the US has already deployed military inside Iran. The latest issue of Time writes of plans for a naval blockade of Iran at the Strait of Hormuz, through which 40% of the world's oil supply passes. Other news reports have claimed that an air strike, using a variety of bombs, including bunker busters, to be dropped on over 1,000 targets, including nuclear facilities. This could obviously result in a great long-term humanitarian and environmental disaster.more of all of this at this link............ http://www.kucinichforcongress.com/September 26, 2006 6:56 pm ET Dennis Kucinich Bush Administration Plans for a US War vs. Iran

Earlier this year, I demanded congressional hearings on Iran and was able to secure the promise of a classified briefing from the Department of Defense, the State Department, and the CIA. When the briefing was held, the Department of Defense and the State Department refused to show and are continuing to block any congressional inquiry into plans to attack Iran.
Just this past week, the International Atomic Energy Agency called "erroneous, misleading, and unsubstantiated" statements relating to Iran's nuclear program which came from a staff report of the House Intelligence committee. Other intelligence officials have claimed over a dozen distortions in the report, which, among other things, said Iran is producing weapons grade uranium. The Washington Post wrote: "The IAEA called that 'incorrect,' noting that weapons grade uranium is enriched to a level of 90 percent or more. Iran has enriched uranium to 3.5% under IAEA monitoring."
I have demanded that the Government Oversight subcommittee on National Security and International Relations, of which I am the ranking Democrat, hold hearings to determine how in the world the Director of National Intelligence, John Negroponte, viewed the report without correcting the obvious inaccuracies before it was published. Once again, a case for war is being built on lies.more here............ http://www.kucinichforcongress.com/ |
