Kucinich: Congress Must End War in Afghanistan
Washington D.C. (September 21, 2009) – Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) made the following statement after a report prepared by General Stanley McChrystal calling for more troops in Afghanistan was released in the press:
“If the Obama administration is determined to ‘win the war’ in Afghanistan, then we should be prepared for another Vietnam. An unending military commitment is unacceptable to the American people and it should be unacceptable to Congress. If the Obama administration refuses to bring this war to an end, then Congress should use the power of the purse, granted by the Constitution, to end the war and bring our troops home. Many objective analyses indicate that the U.S. should withdraw from Afghanistan. If the Obama administration can’t do it, then Congress must,” said Kucinich.
Kucinich has been a leading critic of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Stay warm this winter in a black hooded sweatshirt. Order one. Order them by the dozen and donate them to occupations!
the race, the day after I mailed my absentee ballot for homebound disabled.
couldn't remain due to lack of many uncontrollable FACTS.
Corporate America doesn't like anyone, who is on the side of the people in America. Since Corporate America is in control of the news media, and the money business in America, Kucinich was locked out of both.
Dennis has not faltered in his support for the American puiblic, Corporate America has control over our government, the president, the elected officials, and all supporting elements. Corporate America has taken over control of this country, and put in "A GOVERNMENT, for THE GOVERNMENT, by THE GOVERNMENT", and Corporate America is in solid control.
Any federal elected official, who has taken campaign donations, PAC's, from Corporate America, is an active part of the destruction of the United States Constitution, and the future of our country's failures. Bar none!
