Does anyone have the full text of Kucinich's speech yesterday?
Here's an excerpt:

"Mr. Speaker, this resolution mentions the word VICTORY 6 times, but victory is not defined. We are assured this administration will know victory when they see it, just like they knew WMDs when they didn’t seem them. Supporters of this bill point to yesterday’s election as victory, but many were drawn to the polls by their overwhelming dislike of US occupation. They like us alright, they would like us to get out of their country. This fantasy victory resolution means more occupation, more war, more civil war, more deaths of our troops, and innocent civilians , more waste of taxpayer money, while this house is reduced to a bunch of cheerleaders in a bloody Baghdad ball sponsored by Halliburton. Congressman Paul and I have a resolution which will let Iraqis, through their new representatives, decide whether the occupation ends or not. You want sovereignty, you want self determination, or do you just want occupation, deception, fake news, fake policy and next year’s fake-out, partial troop withdrawals, while a permanent US presence is being built. These fake resolutions keep this congress in a stupor, almost a trance-like denial of conditions in iraq and how we got there. Wake up congress, wake up America, get out of Iraq."
