Afghanistan War Debate Begins In Congress! (Finally!) pt.1 Congressman Kucinich

[CALVINION9]

It's a real tragedy that we have a congress that would defeat a bill like this when most of America supports it... When will we get enough of our complete lack of representation?

[eastariel]

There's nothing violent about ducking when someone throws a boomerang at you. Peace. An eye for an eye, says the blind general. Sight is best.

[czubspenx]

The only purpose of these perpetual wars is to benefit the Military Industrial Complex.  They are a complete waste of lives and money.

[USAon3]

Really? You don't think it has anything to do with airliners slamming into New York office buildings?

Should we have stayed home instead of going after those who attacked us?

Thank God Americans didn't have such an attitude after Pearl Harbor. We'd all be four feet tall by now and drive on the left side of the road.

[czubspenx]

The people that slammed into the World Trade Center were Saudi's, not Iraq's. Think long and hard about that. Why did we invade Iraq? The results are 5,000 dead American's, 30,000 severely wounded American's, 100,000 dead Iaqi's, 2-3 trillions dollars spent and all for nothing. No reason at all. Total waste of humanity and money.

[USAon3]

They're talking about Afghanistan, not Iraq - and so am I.

Gulf War II wouldn't have had to happen if Klinton had finished the job started with the first Gulf War.

You want to pay the prices for oil that Europe is paying? That's what would have happened if we had let Iraq take over Kuwait when they invaded.

Or perhaps you believe in a double standard, and that behavior is alright when other countries do it...

[czubspenx]

Oh, gee, they are not talking about the Iraq pre-emptive invasion where no weapons of mass destruction were found, trillions of dollars spent plus 110,000 people killed. I guess someone screwed up. Now it's on to Pakistan and then Afghanistan and then Iran and then who knows where. Let me tell you something, this country is totally fucked up and no one knows what the fuck they are doing and why.

[helenbransgrove]

More like 1 million Iraqis.

[helenbransgrove]

Typical dumb fucking Yank. Have the balls to go to the genocidal wars you support and hopefully have your empty head blown off.

The hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis and Afghanis had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks - you retard.

No wonder your economy is collapsing under the weight of your gratuituous wars with morons like you voting.

The American empire is in decline - the sooner the better.

[USAon3]

@helenbransgrove - I see what your problem is.

It's jealousy.

Living on a former British prison island, you long for a chance to count in the world's matters - so you bray like a jackass over things you know nothing about and have no part in.

Stupid Skip cunt. You wish you mattered. Go blow the Queen some more - maybe she'll shorten your sentence and you can finally wed that wallaby you've been jerking it to at night.

[schuey2003]

@USAon3 You really are the stupid yank cunt!!!! us skips are doing a whole lot better than the great america, you wish you lived here you half-witted rednick

[Chansulus]

@helenbransgrove no it is only the beginning so as Rome did it will become an empire now its waiting for Tiberius and Julius Caesar to come along.it is in the last days as a republic .

[Wolffanator]

Dennis Kucinich is one of the few Democrats that talks any sense and actually stands for something, and look what they do to him, the same thing they do to Ron Paul on the Republican side, make a joke out of him and give him zero respect.

[KoldMannDamm]

Howard Berman looks like a cokehead.

[EsCurve]

california opposes? are you kidding, get a life.

[ryanshaunkelly]

nader paul kucinich gravel mckinney

both parties are corrupt to the core

as is the media

vietnam redux

[AntiFed1791]

I applaud the efforts of Kucinich and Paul, but I fear it is too late for us. We have no power left in that house. We have no power at the polls. The only hope we have is to prevent the machine from functioning at all. General strike! Shut everything down now!

[hstone39]

The Iraq war should be discussed in this panel.

[livefreeordie2008]

Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul 2012

The only honest politicians in Washington!

[Budvb]

God shows his anger from heaven. It is against all the godless and evil things people do. They are so evil that they say no to the truth. So God let them go. He allowed them to do what their sinful hearts wanted to. He let them commit sins. They polluted one another's bodies by what they did.

[DominoChild]

Thank you Kucinich, you have done well.

[ImYourDrillerMan]

Right on, Dennis!

[ewetoobify]

I think any members of the house who refuse to stop speaking after being told twice to "take their conversations from the floor" should be arrested for contempt of congress.

[phnixlady]

@ewetoobify hear, hear.

[USAon3]

I think any members of the House who refuse to support efforts to defend America should be arrested for treason.

[footiebeanz]

@USAon3 - defend the US from who or what is the question. There are no significant external threats to the country, are there ?

The `Taliban` and most `terrorists` are employed by the CIA or their agents with US tax-payers money. They are employed for fighting or bombing precisely to make profits for Haliburton, Blackwater/Xe and all the military producers and suppliers, and the elected representatives they pay to perpetuate the war.

So, could you please clarify exactly who the `traitors` are

[johnqpublic81]

Can't wait to hear Grayson's speech on this. He tends to be passionate as well.
