Rep. Dennis Kucinich Stands Alone Opposed to Sept. 11 Commemoration Resolution

WASHINGTON — Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Democratic presidential candidate and no stranger to contrarian views, was the sole congressman Tuesday to vote against the House's Sept. 11 commemoration resolution.

Tuesday's nonbinding resolution was a relatively short document. It had 12 "whereas" clauses — stating things like what happened the day of the terrorist attacks, who was affected and how terrorists have been targeted since then — and six resolution paragraphs establishing Sept. 11 as a day of remembrance, extending sympathies to families of victims who died and honoring those who have fought in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"It is important that Congress wake up to the truth and exercise its obligation under the Constitution to save our nation from being destroyed from the lies that took us into Iraq, the lies that keep us there, the lies that are being used to set the stage for war against Iran and the lies that have undermined our basic civil liberties here at home," Kucinich said in a statement.

"The September 11 resolution that Congress considers today should have made reference to those matters. It does not, so I cannot support it," Kucinich said, also calling for a halt for further war funding and the troops to be brought home.

While FOX News is biased and a criminal news organization, this article is pretty good at giving some important information on Kucinich to Americans.

For one I draw your attention to this involving the State Department and international campaigning:

"In the Sept. 2 interview in Syria, Kucinich — casting off State Department calls last month for White House contenders to stay out of international politics as well as conventions of U.S. politicians not criticizing each other beyond U.S. borders — described a positive meeting meeting with Assad. He then criticized the war effort and President Bush's handling of it."

Obviously, the chicken hawks and war profiteers do not want Dennis bringing Strength Through Peace to the world and our nation. The other candidates, cowards who do not wish to stand up to insurance interests and now a flawed State Department request, remain at home dressing their policies up, putting on acts, and praying to God Dennis shuts up before a majority listens.

Continuing:

"Kucinich then suggested that the United States should pay war reparations to Iraqis. "The United States must take steps to repair the damage that has been done to the lives of the people of Iraq for the people who have lost their lives," he said, adding that the debate on the Iraq war has been skewed by false information.

Asked if he thought Bush would apply the same thinking in Lebanon — which borders Syria — as he has with respect to Iraq, Kucinich responded: "I think it's probably true, and of course this is part of the tragedy that our president is not understanding the mountain of evidence which indicates what a failure the policy in Iraq has been."

Dennis Kucinich is so far ahead of the Democratic pack of politicians who have no backbone because he is not playing around with Americans' lives anymore---he never was. But Democrats still believe we can correct the policy. You can't correct a policy that has been wrong from the beginning! Not only has it been wrong but it has been immoral!!!

Thank you FOX News for reporting on Dennis Kucinich. I thought Outfoxed was great. But I think this article is one of the best on Kucinich to be released to the Internet in the past weeks by a mainstream news organization.
