Adam Kokesh Speaks at September 15th Rally

Full text of the speech is available at http://kokesh.blogspot.com/2007/09/speech-delivered-at-september-15th.html

After the rally was the march led by an honor guard of IVAW members carrying an inverted American flag and banners of the six major war profiteers. At the end of the march, they broke through three police barricades before they conducted a 21-gun salute ceremony and played taps to initiate the die-in.

Well, I hope you realize that you are wrong, not in the way of what you stand for but how to solve the occupation and war; you should actually propose something that works. Good luck doing what you believe in.

[AdamKokesh]

Have you seen the IVAW website? We have a solution. The best option in Iraq is to give the Iraqi people back their right to self-determination and pay reparations. Give them the resources and the room to have a truly sovereign country. Excuse me for not being able to explain my entire platform in an eight minute speech.

[Andresev]

Yeah, I've seen the site, and the best article I've read about it its the "Hammers can't fix..." by Jason Lemieux, pretty good stuff. By the way, how you propose to give the Iraqi people the right to self determination? I think that is the point, not only say what to do, but how to do it aswell. Take care.

[AdamKokesh]

We don't have to physically GIVE it to them. What we need to do is stop taking it by exercising control over the normal functions of a sovereign nation.

[thisisnotleewolf]

I want you to know, that is because of the conversation you and I had outside of the college republican convention in washington DC that i have decided to join the Marine Corps.

[AdamKokesh]

I'm glad you have finally decided to put your money where your mouth is and stand up for something you believe in. I hope you enjoy your much-needed dose of reality. But also, let me be among the first to say: Hoorah! Welcome to the Corps!

But seriously, I wish you would have waited until after the occupation of Iraq.

[Goobyusa]

God Bless you Adam and ALL our Patriots fighting in the ME. The corporate fat-cat Globalists using our young patriots to secure oil and cheap labor. Damn them to hell. Time to flip a bird to the powers that be. Vote Ron Paul and bring our Patriots home!

[arterialshadow]

Adam, I love you for this. Thank you for speaking against this hell.

[eduvc123]

"Those are just the lies we know about"

Darn this guy is good...

[ROPdude]

Holy shit, you have to admit:

That guy knows how to address a crowd. Period.

[WickeDFate4]

You might be happy to hear that he uses the term constitutional republic in his newer speeches.

I also wanted to let you know he is currently running for state congress in New Mexico's 3rd district!

[Elasaltaculos]

The only problem I have with this speech is Adam's reference to the United States as a democracy.

[unveiltruth]

mine too ;]

God bless Adam and all of us that fight for truth and liberty!

[chillVibes]

brought tears to my eyes

[imdanhoover]

i'm putting in my 2cents..thank you adam,it is time people realize this was all a lie..its 1 thing going after who attacked us,but it wasn't iraq.we're there on a lie,our leaders failed us,bottom line...i have a 17yr old who gets a phone call everyday to join the army,no matter how many times i tell them if my son wants to join,i'll talk to him about,stop calling..doesn't work..tele-marketing at its best..we will be out of there,1 day..but adam,don't stop,your the future of this great country..

[ashort515]

Furthermore, the notion that we have or currently are doing the Iraqi citizenes a favor is dead wrong. Like he says, this occupation is bad because it is based on a lie. The bottom line is that no action when based in a bad motive (ie a lie) can result in a positive manner. That is Bush's legacy. We do not have to accept it as ours.
