Kucinich Takes to The House Floor To Call For An End to The War
=20
WASHINGTON - April 1 - Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), who leads =
opposition to the War in Iraq within the House, today, issued the =
following statement on the House floor:
"Stop the war now. As Baghdad will be encircled, this is the time to get =
the UN back in to inspect Baghdad and the rest of Iraq for biological =
and chemical weapons. Our troops should not have to be the ones who will =
find out, in combat, whether Iraq has such weapons. Why put our troops =
at greater risk? We could get the United Nations inspectors back in.
"Stop the war now. Before we send our troops into house-to-house combat =
in Baghdad, a city of five million people. Before we ask our troops to =
take up the burden of shooting innocent civilians in the fog of war.
"Stop the war now. This war has been advanced on lie upon lie. Iraq was =
not responsible for 9/11. Iraq was not responsible for any role al-Qaeda =
may have had in 9/11. Iraq was not responsible for the anthrax attacks =
on this country. Iraq did not tried to acquire nuclear weapons =
technology from Niger. This war is built on falsehood.
"Stop the war now. We are not defending America in Iraq. Iraq did not =
attack this nation. Iraq has no ability to attack this nation. Each =
innocent civilian casualty represents a threat to America for years to =
come and will end up making our nation less safe. The seventy-five =
billion dollar supplemental needs to be challenged because each dime we =
spend on this war makes America less safe. Only international =
cooperation will help us meet the challenge of terrorism. After 9/11 all =
Americans remember we had the support and the sympathy of the world. =
Every nation was ready to be of assistance to the United States in =
meeting the challenge of terrorism. And yet, with this war, we have =
squandered the sympathy of the world. We have brought upon this nation =
the anger of the world. We need the cooperation of the world, to find =
the terrorists before they come to our shores.
"Stop this war now. Seventy-five billion dollars more for war. =
Three-quarters of a trillion dollars for tax cuts, but no money for =
veterans' benefits. Money for war. No money for health care in America, =
but money for war. No money for social security, but money for war. We =
have money to blow up bridges over the Tigris and the Euphrates, but no =
money to build bridges in our own cities. We have money to ruin the =
health of the Iraqi children, but no money to repair the health of our =
own children and our educational programs.
"Stop this war now. It is wrong. It is illegal. It is unjust and it will =
come to no good for this country.
"Stop this war now. Show our wisdom and our humanity, to be able to stop =
it, to bring back the United Nations into the process. Rescue this =
moment. Rescue this nation from a war that is wrong, that is unjust, =
that is immoral.
"Stop this war now."
