                                  IRAN

  (Mr. KUCINICH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. KUCINICH. Iran should not have nuclear weapons; and, along with 
the United States as a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation 
Treaty, should work with the community of nations to abolish all 
nuclear weapons, as is the express intent of the NPT.
  However, this administration is trying to create an international 
crisis by inflating Iran's nuclear development into another Iraq WMD 
hoax. There they go again.
  Today, the House will consider a bill which will give the 
administration a pass on covert activities it has already undertaken in 
Iran to attempt to destabilize the government. Additionally, today's 
bill will enable another Rendon type propaganda machine to feed the 
U.S. media a steady stream of lies, all to set the stage for a war 
against Iran.
  Think about it; this, without a single hearing on Iran in this 
Congress. Think about it; this, while the State Department and DOD is 
ducking even classified briefings.
  There is a Chinese proverb that says: Fool me once, shame on you. 
Fool me twice, shame on me. Will Congress be fooled again into 
supporting still another war against still another nation, which is not 
an imminent threat and which has no intention nor capability of 
attacking the United States?
