Fw: Kucinich Calls for Immediate End to War

[Guest guest]

J. Kucinich (D-OH), who leads opposition to the war in Iraq, issued

the following statement:

"This Administration has never made its case for war against Iraq.

It is an unjustified war, which the Administration continues to

misrepresent and exaggerate. The most recent example is the

Administration's characterization of international coalition support

for this war."

"This morning, President Bush once again exaggerated the extent

of support for the war stating that the coalition of countries

supporting this war is larger than the 1991 Gulf War. What Bush

failed to mention was that back in 1991, all of the 34 coalition

members offered military force, by contributing troops on the

ground, aircraft, ships or medics. "

"This war involves the troops of only the U.S., Britain, Australia,

Poland and Albania. Not even the three members of the Security

Council that support the war, Spain, Italy, and Bulgaria are

committing military support."

"This Bush Administration has been adding coalition member to

their list based on statements of “moral†support. As the Washington

Post reported last week, if this type of criteria was used back in

1991, the size of the coalition would likely have topped 100 countries."

"Further, the total cost of the Gulf War to the United States was around

$4 billion dollars. This time, the President has come to Congress

requesting a $75 billion bill, all of which will be paid by U. S.

taxpayers. Clearly, military and economic support from countries is

far more important than statements of 'well-wishes'."

"This war must end now. It was unjust when it started last week, and

is still unjust today. The U.S. should get out now and try to save the

lives of American troops and Iraqi citizens. Most importantly, ending

the war now and resuming weapons inspections could salvage world opinion

of the United States, which has been deteriorating since the talk of war

began. After all, the greatest threat to the United States at this time

is terrorism, which is breeding from this war."

Congressman Kucinich will issue daily statements on the war in Iraq.

leading spokesperson for peaceful resolution of international conflict.
