Rep. Dennis Kucinich: Stealing Iraq's Oil "Is a War Crime!"

Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) charged: "To steal Iraq's oil resources is in itself a War Crime...It cries out for justice...The wealth of Iraq belongs to the people of Iraq." He spoke at a press conference on Capitol Hill, on Sept. 5, 2007. The popular Congressman comments were made in solidarity with the efforts of US Labor Against the War (USLAW); United for Peace & Justice (UFPJ); and the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). These groups are supporting the Iraqi Oil Workers and their unions in opposing the scheme launched by the Bush-Cheney Gang to privatize most of Iraq's oil. Earlier in the day, a rally was held at the office of Bearing Point, near the Navy Yard. Bearing Point is the contractor, who the unions claim was "hired to do the job!" After speeches at that site, the demonstrators marched to the U.S. Capitol. Mrs. Hashmeya Muhsin Hussein, President of the Iraqi Electrical Unity Workers, also spoke at the Kucinich's press conference. It was held on the Cannon's Terrace. Kucinich praised, too, the "courage" of the Iraqi oil workers and their union leaders.

The US funds saddams bath party bringing him to power, they give him the weapons he uses to butcher his own people, all the while US officials treat him like a buddy

They use saddam to wage a bloody 10 year long war with Iran to get regime change there. When saddamn starts getting cocky, they put devastating sanctions in Iraq whic kills a UN estimated 1 million people.

They invade Iraq over a pack of lies and drown it in blood. And now they want Iraq's oil.

Nazis dressed in velvet clothes

You people are idiots. Iraq owns its own oil and sells it all over the world. Only 4% of americas oil is from iraq

i cant tell you how much this angers me as an iraqi..

[dyeballa04]

i dont doubt it, our government is the best money can buy...communist or not. i personally believe that our governments global adgenda includes world war 3 starting with nuclear warfare originating in the middle east. after Israel launches a nuke at Iran, world war 3 will begin and the only natural resources that will matter are food and water...so much that americans will steal one day and kill the next. chaos is coming and we all need to wake up. the US government is run by ruthless animals.

Most American very-well awared about Iraq situations. But they pretend not to know, and keep babbing for justice and freedom toward another nations, a country full of liars and sub-conciously robbers. Glad there are still American who truly understand the word "Justice".

@Eye0fTheStorm Bang on! Did you notice how the leaders of various oil companies gallantly flew to the Green zone in Baghdad recently? They stayed for a full eight hours protected by thousands of US troops while they launched their bids to steal Iraq's oil wealth. It was yet another repulsive spectacle in this this whole shabby blood soaked episode.
