Kucinich: "92,000 Reasons to Get Out of Afghanistan and Pakistan --- Pick One"

92,000 Reasons to Get Out of Afghanistan and Pakistan
Pick One

Washington, Jul 26 -
Washington D.C. (July 26, 2010) – Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) is circulating the following letter to Members of Congress in advance of expected votes on Tuesday:

Dear Colleague,

WikiLeaks released 92,000 previously secret documents (any one of which presumably could be a case for a congressional hearing) which demonstrate that Congress has not been given a true account of the war by either the military or by two administrations.

We cannot and must not ignore the latest documented evidence from WikiLeaks now circulating on the Internet for the entire world to see:

• Our troops being placed in mortal peril because of poor logistics.
• Countless innocent civilians killed “by mistake.”
• An Afghanistan “government” which is hopelessly corrupt.
• Pakistan Intelligence collaborating with the Taliban against the US.
• The Pentagon understating the firepower of the insurgents.
• A top Pakistani General visiting a suicide bombing school monthly.

Will we go deeper into the war in Afghanistan despite knowing that it is a growing disaster?

Sigh. Looks like I will be voting for the Kuch once again come primary season.

Thanks for speaking for the sane among us, Kooch. :patriot:

He's been right on this for YEARS trying to get us out of there. If we had more Dems like him, we'd actually have a decent country. K&R for Dennis - one of the best!
