                       THE CASE FOR LEAVING IRAQ

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. Hussein is in jail. Zarqawi is dead. Now we should 
leave Iraq.
  Zarqawi represented a small portion of a large and growing anti-
American insurgency in Iraq, a sliver of the non-Baathist insurgency 
while Baathists make up a majority of armed insurgents. So his killing 
is unlikely to end the violence in Iraq.
  Those who say we must prevail until victory are not themselves paying 
the price. Nearly 2,500 Americans dead, over 10,000 innocent Iraqis 
dead, our national honor tainted by a false case for war, Abu Ghraib, 
Guantanamo, Haditha. When will we understand that you can bomb the 
world to pieces, but you can't bomb the world to peace?
