VIDEO-1 minute speech by Dennis Kucinich on Iraq War Resolution:
"We must get out of Iraq, but getting out of Iraq is not enough... because the same thinking that led us to Iraq, the addiction to war and fear, the misunderstanding of the nature of power, the belief that might makes right can lead us into Iran, into Syria, and put us at odds with Russia and China." - Thank you Rep. Dennis Kucinich! :patriot:

I wonder if the Bush Administration and the Military Industrial Complex want to restart the Cold War. x(

1. They want to restart A cold war.
An eternal enemy is far too useful as a political tool for them to forgo. They'll do anything they can to create the environment that gives them maximum power. We've already seen that.

4. go Dennis
good to see him in action. Why aren't there more people like him in Congress. He is not earth shattering, just your basic truth.

14. just watched him on CNN with Anderson Cooper
He sounded very good to me, that repub on with him was sounded like a stereo typical talking point pundit. I loved near the end the way DK was just watching the guy while he spewed. They did shake hands at the very end- kind of funny.

16. Thanks, Swampie
I've regretted votes, but I expect I'll never regret voting for Kooch. Wish I could vote for him more often.

17. Me too!
I just love this short speech given by DK!!! :bounce: This is a good example of what a Dem can do in only one minute.

I supported him in the 2004 primary and still do. Hopefully he will move on to the Senate. :)

19. how sad it is that half or more of the Members in that chamber . . .
haven't the foggiest idea what Dennis is talking about . . .

or simply think he's nuts . . .

the current composition of the House is a disgrace to our national heritage -- and a danger to the nation and the planet . . .

21. the ignorant call him a bedwetting liberal, a bleeding heart lib
They have no heart, and no mind, and should go without a bed for a while... then see if they have a 'come to Jesus' moment of clarity on humility and compassion. If not then, well, I really hope there's a hell.
