Kucinich Pissed

Kucinich is right on this score. The Democrats not only dropped the ball on this one, it is business as usual at the Capitol. To get the votes on the bill, they packed it with pork. If Congress had a pair, they would be on record as saying the invasion and occupation of Iraq was not only a major mistake, it is illegal. Surely they know the difference between right and wrong.-Jake

U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich is not at all happy with the Military Funding Bill passed by the House last week, calling it "a disaster for America."

Kucinich made the comments in an exclusive telephone interview with the editors at truthdig.com, and he didn't hide his displeasure with the Democratic party.

"The Democrats should have been voting—or come up with a plan to get out of Iraq," Kucinich said. "Not one that’s going to keep us there a year or two. It’s the same kind of thinking that led us into Iraq—that we didn’t have any alternatives."

He said the Democrats should be listening to the American people and taking steps to immediately end the war and bring the troops home.
