Kucinich Takes to the House Floor to Call For An End to The
War
Wednesday 2 April 2003
Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), who leads opposition
to the War in Iraq within the House, today, issued the
following statement on the House floor:
"Stop the war now. As Baghdad will be encircled, this is the
time to get the UN back in to inspect Baghdad and the rest
of Iraq for biological and chemical weapons. Our troops
should not have to be the ones who will find out, in combat,
whether Iraq has such weapons. Why put our troops at greater
risk? We could get the United Nations inspectors back in.
"Stop the war now. Before we send our troops into
house-to-house combat in Baghdad, a city of five million
people. Before we ask our troops to take up the burden of
shooting innocent civilians in the fog of war.
"Stop the war now. This war has been advanced on lie upon
lie. Iraq was not responsible for 9/11. Iraq was not
responsible for any role al-Qaeda may have had in 9/11. Iraq
was not responsible for the anthrax attacks on this country.
Iraq did not tried to acquire nuclear weapons technology
from Niger. This war is built on falsehood.
"Stop the war now. We are not defending America in Iraq.
Iraq did not attack this nation. Iraq has no ability to
attack this nation. Each innocent civilian casualty
represents a threat to America for years to come and will
end up making our nation less safe. The seventy-five billion
dollar supplemental needs to be challenged because each dime
we spend on this war makes America less safe. Only
international cooperation will help us meet the challenge of
terrorism. After 9/11 all Americans remember we had the
support and the sympathy of the world. Every nation was
ready to be of assistance to the United States in meeting
the challenge of terrorism. And yet, with this war, we have
squandered the sympathy of the world. We have brought upon
this nation the anger of the world. We need the cooperation
of the world, to find the terrorists before they come to our
shores.
"Stop this war now. Seventy-five billion dollars more for
war. Three-quarters of a trillion dollars for tax cuts, but
no money for veterans ' benefits. Money for war. No money
for health care in America, but money for war. No money for
social security, but money for war. We have money to blow up
bridges over the Tigris and the Euphrates, but no money to
build bridges in our own cities. We have money to ruin the
health of the Iraqi children, but no money to repair the
health of our own children and our educational programs.
"Stop this war now. It is wrong. It is illegal. It is unjust
and it will come to no good for this country.
"Stop this war now. Show our wisdom and our humanity, to be
able to stop it, to bring back the United Nations into the
process. Rescue this moment. Rescue this nation from a war
that is wrong, that is unjust, that is immoral.
"Stop this war now."
